Serre Chevalier’s new feature, The Reflex

Sometimes, you’ve just got to know when to stop, particularly if you’re a skier.

Now the French resort of Serre Chevalier has introduced an innovative new concept in skier safety training called ‘The Reflex’ - an area where skiers can test their speed in order to control and improve their braking.

With an 80m run-up, skiers aim to stop as quickly and safely as possible. Records then show whether their speed was controlled - or not!

Also, in the Arva Park, skiers are given the chance to gain awareness of the reality of the mountains to help more advanced skiers gain back country skills before they go off-piste.

Fancy testing your abilities?
