It’s Winter and that means snow, ice and sub zero temperatures. However, add in 220 bhp, a world championship rally car and a private ice racing circuit and the scene is set for the perfect day of pure adrenalin. But in case there’s any danger of getting bored we can also arrange for you to ride your own snowmobile through the Alpine Wilderness, and even fly in a helicopter over the very summit of Mont Blanc. This is Winter Adventure at its finest.

Just 30 minutes from Chamonix in the French Alps is a private ice racing circuit. The track is at almost 5000 feet altitude- high up in the mountains. At 1 kilometre in length the lap features hairpin bends, sweeping curves plus fast straights as it climbs and descends.

The cars are Subaru WRX – the same machine that won 6 World Championship titles.  Four wheel drive, 220 bhp and fitted with studded ice racing tyres these are awesome vehicles and perfect for the tricky conditions. The instructors will show each guest how to control the car with techniques such as throttle steering, opposite locking, handbrake turns, left foot braking and power sliding. It not only produces fabulous entertainment and high levels of adrenalin but gives you some very useful skills for driving in what is now becoming the usual British Winter.

Even more interesting is that we have arranged for the course to be taken in both day and night time driving. The course will start at 2.30pm and finish at 8.30pm. If you think that driving the track in daylight is exciting wait until you are running the track under the floodlights with the rally headlights piercing the darkness. Quite incredible.

If you want to add some extra excitement then we can arrange for winter travel of a different. kind….the snowmobile. A motorbike on snow; it can take you places where even a Subaru or 4×4 could only dream of. On the open slopes and flat plateaux the snowmobiles can reach 60 mph. Still not had enough?  Then what about a helicopter flight over the very summit of Mont Blanc – Europe’s tallest mountain.  Wildside can put together your ultimate Winter experience.
