Ski Resort in Paris

Holidaymakers, visitors and Ile de France residents, take note: the slopes of the winter sports resort at the Stade de France will be opening soon!
The ‘resort’, which has opened every winter for the past 5 years, is a very popular venue for winter fun in the city...

A few years ago, the organisers came up with the brilliant idea of opening a proper ski resort 15 minutes from the heart of Paris to allow people to hear the call of the mountains and discover the joys of winter sports.
The event has proved to be extremely popular these past few years: over 50 000 visitors flocked to “Milka Rêve de Neige” every day in 2006.

Initially meant for families lacking the means to take a skiing holiday in the Pyrenees or the Alps, “Milka Rêve de Neige” has in fact been such a success that the organisers have introduced two separate sets of opening hours, for charities and the general public respectively, to ensure the event remains accessible as originally planned to the financially disadvantaged.

There are a number of attractions on the programme at this winter sports festival: a surf simulator, a 70 metre ski slope, a frozen waterfall, a giant 1 250 sq. metre rink, an ice garden, a working farm, an adventure trail, a trapper trail, two rope bridges, a sled run, rock climbing walls, a water wall and much more.
