- Come after dark
- Wrap up warm
La Glissade d'Obélix
La Glissade d'Obélix is a snow slide that is only there during Noël Gaulois, Parc Astérix's Christmas event. You slide down the Mont Gaulois in an Obélix tube. On the park's Dutch-language website, the attraction is called De Glijbaan van Obelix.
The concept
Once again this year, Parc Astérix is hosting the world sliding championship, the park says with a wink. You climb the Mont Gaulois, grab your Obélix tube and defend the colours of Gaul.
The Experience
You slide at full speed in your tube down the snowy slope. After dark, the run is lit with colourful lights, making the descent extra festive.

Only during the Christmas period
The slide is only there during Noël Gaulois: from 19 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 inclusive.
Come after dark
After sunset, the run is beautifully lit.
Wrap up warm
You're sitting outside on the snow: gloves and a warm coat are no unnecessary luxury.
Visitor information
You must be at least 1.20 metres tall. Wheelchair users go up by lift; you need to be able to transfer into the tube yourself. The slide is only open during Noël Gaulois.
Christmas in Gaul
La Glissade d'Obélix is one of the highlights of Noël Gaulois. Afterwards, warm up with a hot chocolate at the Goûter du Père Noël in Le Buffet de Noël.
