Ecological, economical and 100% practical, Skimania is still the best way to get to the resorts of the Alps. With Skimania, you can take the metro to one of the 7 departure points in the Lyon metropolitan area and be whisked away to the snowy peaks in a Grand Tourisme coach. Skimania will provide you with a ski pass and a breakfast snack. Head for the finest resorts - Alpe d'Huez, Chamrousse, Courchevel, La Clusaz, La Plagne, Les 7 Laux, Les Arcs, Les Saisies, Méribel, Tignes and Valmorel - in the best conditions.

Over the years, the formulas have evolved. What hasn't changed is the exceptional location in the heart of Lyon, behind the Saint-Nizier church, with its transparent walls and windows linking everyday life to that intimate place open to others: the kitchen. It all starts on the Internet, with our city's website offering a wide range of workshops to suit all tastes. You make a reservation and, on the spot, with nothing to bring but your good humour and willingness to learn, you let yourself be guided by friendly chefs who are happy to pass on some of their know-how, in the hope of being able to take a tiny part of it home with you!

There are two ice rinks in Lyon, the largest of which is in Confluence. With its reinforced concrete shell, a signature of the 1970s, the Charlemagne skating rink is one of the emblematic buildings of this ultramodern district. It welcomes fans - and professionals, with the world's best ice dancers and field hockey players - of sliding and ice sports. Put on your skates and let's go for several laps on the ice in this rink that can accommodate just over 4,000 people. There's an Ice Garden for children aged 4 to 7, and themed evenings for older children. You can buy e-tickets or book a session online.

If you have any doubts about your sense of direction in the city, this 14-kilometer greenway is for you! It's very simple: by following the rails of the T3 tramway in its entirety, you absolutely cannot go wrong! Connecting the Part-Dieu station to the Meyzieu Gare station, it is a good alternative to public transport for outdoor training. Its smooth asphalt surface allows access to all physical activities: on foot, by bike or on rollerblades.

Contemporary art is displayed on our walls. Stéphanie Tosi's goal is to make art accessible to everyone. From this idea was born Carré d'Artistes. Not a shop, not a gallery either, but a mix. The works of about thirty artists, young talents, are arranged in bins. The visitor meets the artists at the time of the vernissages and handles the unique, original and certified works, which are all square in size, at identical prices depending on the size. To make our lives more beautiful and support the artists.

The Fédération Française de Spéléologie is a voluntary association based in Lyon. It specializes in the teaching of caving and offers various types of courses, from discovery of the underground environment for beginners to advanced training for advanced practitioners. It also organizes training courses for managers, such as initiators, monitors and federal instructors. Specialized courses in the knowledge and study of the underground environment, such as karstology, topography and biospeleology, are also offered.

According to an idea of Carré d'Artistes, located within walking distance under Passage de l'Argue, here is the Expo. A gallery dedicated to large sized artworks for our greatest pleasure. You need to have walls to showcase these splendid contemporary works... But you will go to the place for beautiful works by Aberlado Hernandez, Adrien Faveau, Daniel Castan, Julien Rey, Natalia Villanueva or Perrotte… Regularly renewed artists to make discoveries during each visit.
