Flaine Alps Ice Circuit
Located in the French Alps, the Flaine Alps Ice Circuit opened in January 2020 on a glacial plain upstream from Lake Flaine, where winter temperatures range from 0°C down to –30°C. Thanks to its high-altitude setting and minimal sunlight from early November through late February, the circuit benefits from exceptional snow and ice quality throughout the season. The Lac circuit features over 25,000 m² of ice, with a technical layout measuring between 1,100 and 1,700 metres in length and 8 to 20 metres in width, offering a demanding and immersive driving experience. Ideally located just around 1 hour and 15 minutes from Geneva Airport, the site is perfectly positioned for combining ice driving with nearby winter activities and ski resorts.
Formula Ford Crosslé
Historic single-seaters take on a whole new dimension on ice, with 13 reissued examples inspired by the first Formula car built by Crosslé in 1969. Powered by a carbureted Ford engine and paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, these lightweight machines deliver the raw, mechanical sensations that define classic racing—amplified on a low-grip surface where precision and finesse matter most. Fitted with studded tyres for maximum grip on ice, the cars remain incredibly agile and responsive on the private 2 km ice track set in the heart of the French Alps at Flaine, offering a truly unique winter driving experience.
