Snow Dreams (Rêves de neige) 2008 at the Stade de France

OK, it’s a marketing operation by Milka chocolate, but seeing the Stade de France covered in snow might be worth a look!…


It’s a kids’ Xmas dream; the Stade de France flled with snow, games, bobsleigh runs… and advertisements for Milka. Let’s try and ignore that; here’s the list of the fun things on offer!

– Not only a 600m² skating rink, but also an “ice trail”, a sort of frozen 170 metre track surrounded by pine trees, just like in the mountains.

A 27 metre high Xmas tree
A ski slope 70 metres long covering 2.500 m², with real snow
Inflatable sled slide
– A ‘roller ski‘ rink (skis with wheels!)
Cable descent. 240 metres long, starting at 32 metres up. Should take your breathe away!
Santa and his reindeer
– A cross country skiing section, 40 metres long
Climbing walls
Via Ferrata. Four blocks of artificial rock 8 metres high, with 30 metres of rope bridges and a cable descent 40 metres long
– A live farm
– Obligatory bouncy castle for the little’uns
Accro Bungee (trampolines with kids attached with huges elastic bands)
Snow garden for tots to explore the joys of snow in safety
Kids adventure trails, with numerous obstacles
Purple Piste. Sounds kinda Milka… This is for discovering alpine nature, both plants and animals
Giant sled slide
– and of course the Milka village, “more than 17 activities under cover (in a tent they mean) to learn all about mountains”. More than 17? Wow!!!
