Parc de Loisirs Les Planards is an amusement park located at the base of the Chamonix ski area. Its signature attraction is the Luge Alpine Coaster, a 1,300-meter track with jumps, waves, and 540-degree spins. The facility operates year-round, utilizing the mountain topography to integrate gravity-based rides. For younger children, the park provides a variety of small-scale attractions including a carousel, trampolines, and motorized boats. The site is positioned directly beneath the Aiguille du Midi cable car line, offering direct mountain views during activity. Operations are weather-dependent, with specific rides occasionally suspending service during heavy precipitation or high winds.
