What's New Winter 2022/23

La Clusaz Ski Slopes Friday, 17, February, 2023

Our resorts are constantly updating their events and the activities they offer to ensure you have the best experience in the mountains! Here's what our resort partners have been up to and if you're looking for new property additions to our programme, be sure to check out our dedicated What's New area!

Montgenèvre

From 17/03/2023 Montgenèvre is offering visitors the chance to try their hand at mini golf on snow every Friday until the end of the season! There's also a chance to have a go on a Yooner (a light maneuverable sledge with a ski style base) on Mondays up until the end of the season. 

The best bit? Both activities are free! 

Les Arcs

February 22nd 2023: Les Arcs area attempting to break their own World Record for the most people involved in a torchlit descent! (previously achieved in 2016 with 2887 skiers). Normally a mountain descent reserved for ski instructors, this is YOUR chance to get involved in a torchlit descent that could enter the record books! 

La Rosière

New for 2022/23 winter, Snakegliss gliding - Learn how to link these special sledges together by your ESF instructor, and try them out, for an after ski school thrill! 

Also new Yooner Downhill! You'll be taught how to handle your yooner (effectively a luge for snow!) by your ESF instructor, and then let loose on the slopes. 

This season La Rosière is hosting the Freeride World Qualifiers  - three events over the course of a long weekend in January. A fantastic opportunity to witness some of the world's best riders, do what they do best.

Chamrousse

New for December 2022, 2km long Zipline! Soar from 2253m high and descend 600 vertical metres alongside the main gondola to the resort base!

Night skiing - Ski with panoramic views of Grenoble city lights, with DJs playing to add to the atmosphere.

Ski touring - 3 dedicated ski touring routes - two of which go through forest and one specifically for night skiing

For freestyle, boardercross and the usual jumps, Chamrousse's Snow Park also has a mini timed speed skiing run, 1km long and suitable for those comfortable on green and blue runs!

Les Saisies

Organised by Les Saisies Tourist board, The Christmas Trail, is a 10km or 20km race, run through the picturesque scenery of Les Saisies domaine - starting at 9.30am on 11th December 2022.

Samoëns

The Haut-Giffre Winter Festival - 22nd January 2023 - this free-of-charge event is a brilliant opportunity for the Sixt-Fer-À-Cheval villages (which include Samoëns) to come together for a day full of Nordic activities. Try your hand at cross-country skiing, biathlon, rifle-shooting and fat bike! It's completely free access and free shuttles from the tourist offices - sounds like a perfect day out!

Les Gets

In line with Les Gets actions to become more responsible for their environmental factor, they've produced new ski passes made from natural material, derived from wood, to reduce their plastic consumption.

A year-round toboggan run - they've set up an alpine coaster on the Perrières sector at the entrance to the village - perfect fun for the whole family, all year round!

A new beer bar, La Beca, connected to La Becanerie café by a secret tunnel - you can taste no less than 13 taps of draught beer and around a hundred beers from all over the world.

Vaujany

Fancy a fondue evening with a twist? Catch your piste-basher transfer up to a mountain restaurant and spend the evening indulging in local cheese fondue, before making your way back down in your piste-basher! Kids can even take it in turns to sit with the driver!

Le Grand Bornand

Spend time with the professionals and learn how to build your very own igloo, a perfect way to spend the afternoon with the children! 

Christmas in Le Grand Bornand - 20th-24th December - Illuminations, street performances, a live nativity scene and even a photobooth with Santa! A magical week for all!

New Year's Eve party - 31st December 2022 - A snowy night in the mountains, with a DJ, food and drink, and fireworks to round off the night - a lovely way to bring in the new year!
