Visitors to les Menuires in the giant French three Valleys ski area this Easter will find several new attractions to try. Most novel is a fleet of Segway personal mobility vehicles. The resort has purchased the fleet of Segways or, as they’re known in France, ‘Gyropod,’ vehicles and is offering short introductory lessons on using Segways for 12 Euros, or full hour long excursions for 39 Euros.

Méribel has become the first French mountain resort to offer its visitors a fleet of Segway Human Transporters. These space age two-wheel vehicles with chunky tyres are stand on machines which can tackle hills and snow, and can be used by anyone.
