Brides is a good base for those interested in a multi-winter-sports holiday, because there's plenty to do besides trying out the world's biggest ski areas. The list includes ice climbing on one of the many frozen waterfalls in the area, a visit to the bob sleigh run at La Plagne where you can either descend in a proper 'taxi-bob' behind a professional driver, or venture out alone in a specially designed and padded 'bob raft'. Speed skiing is offered at neighbouring Les Arcs whilst back in Brides the 'Espace Detente' Health Club has solarium, spa, gym, jacuzzi, Turkish baths, indoor tennis and electronic massage chairs.
