About this tour
Pilot an electric Swincar—a nimble, articulated off-road vehicle—through mountain forest tracks around Serre-Ponçon and the secluded village of Crévoux. This two-hour guided excursion pairs innovative engineering with alpine scenery, offering a quieter, zero-emission way to explore terrain that traditional vehicles can't reach. You'll handle the steering yourself while a local guide leads the route, with a companion sharing your tandem seat.
Highlights
- Drive electric Swincar vehicles through mountain forest trails
- Reach remote Crévoux, a hidden alpine pocket

What to expect
You and one passenger board your Swincar—a lightweight, fully electric vehicle with exceptional grip and manoeuvrability across rough terrain. The guide demonstrates controls and handling before you set off into the mountains. Expect narrow forest tracks, gradients, and potentially muddy or rocky sections; the Swincar's articulated frame makes these accessible without noise or emissions. The vehicle is genuinely fun to operate, responsive to steering inputs, and comfortable for the two-hour duration. You'll pause at viewpoints around Serre-Ponçon reservoir and venture into the quieter reaches of Crévoux.
