Gravity Cart: Family fun all year round
France is experiencing its lowest winter precipitation since 1969. This is a signal that ski resorts in France too must rely on alternatives to make up for the lack of snow. This is the only way that guests can be offered an attractive provision.
“The current situation demonstrates: climate change is unrelenting, even in the French Alps. Year-round operation makes sense and, with our Gravity Cart, we offer the possibility of implementing it,” says Jakob Soukup, Sales Manager for Gravity Cart.
Mathieu Parizot from 4experience has the Gravity Cart in his range and offers it to ski resorts as an addition that is not dependent on snow.

Focus on family fun
For Mathieu Parizot, the focus is on being able to offer a diverse and safe provision for families. Thanks to its certification, the Gravity Cart is particularly suitable for international use, the manufacturer says. The CE certification was also one of the reasons why Parizot opted for the collaboration with Gravity Cart. Safety is not just another value for the team at 4experience.
“All the products we use are reliable, safe and certified by authorities. We want to offer our customers both fun and high-end service. The certified Gravity Cart offers us that,” 4experience CEO Mathieu Parizot outlines.
The company 4experience is based in Porte-de-Savoie and offers solutions for mountain and outdoor leisure activities. As well as the Gravity Cart, Parizot also offers year-round skiing, tubing and pump track.
“Family fun all year round is the key message of the company. We want to offer ski resorts a year-round solution. We are therefore delighted at the collaboration with GRAVITY CART. The Cart is easy to use and suitable for all. Its versatile usability on snow, grass or gravel goes down well with potential customers,” Parizot adds.
Attractive solutions sought
According to Parizot, the fact that it is both robust and easy to repair is a further reason that favours use of the Gravity Cart. Thanks to the partnership with GRAVITY CART, 4experience can now offer its customers another appealing, high-performance attraction. “We ensure that our parts are always easy to replace and available when needed.
That is doubtless a great advantage over other providers,” Jakob Soukup emphasises. 4experience conducted the tests on the cart in customer areas, and Parizot found the first impressions convincing.

“We chose Gravity Cart for its reliability and quality, the excellent contact with Jakob and Raphael, and because it is a certified downhill Cart. All our products (made by 4experience and/or sold by us) are reliable, safe and certified by authorities. We guarantee that we provide our customers with a great fun, high-end service in line with high safety standards.”
Convenient transport to the top
To be able to transport the cart conveniently to the summit, Parizot works with a company that supplies lift accessories. Drag lifts and gondolas are also used for transport. 4experience helps potential customers with implementation of the GRAVITY CART in their ski resort or sports area.
“It is important to us to offer a high-quality product that can be used all year round, which can be operated by mountain railways and tourists, as: year- round operation is now a global and no longer only a local topic. Nonetheless we continue to look forward positively and to expand our year-round range – for example with our family-friendly, safe Gravity Cart,” Jakob Soukup concludes.
