The Frience recreation area in winter
A magnificent view to the south and west, a snow-covered plateau and several facilities make Frience an idyllic place to have fun with the family, to relax and enjoy the view or to make your first ski tracks.
As soon as the snow falls, Frience is transformed into a place of fun dedicated to skiing. Tobogganing, skiing or snowboarding - the facilities are open to everyone free of charge and offer boundless fun for the whole family!
A 160-metre-long conveyor belt takes you to the various slopes effortlessly, with skis, a snowboard or a sledge. The wooden structure offers protection in all weathers. This facility is free for all.
