Description
The crunch of snow under your skis, the refreshing air that wakes you up, the joy of being back in the mountains… Admit it, you’ve missed it!
On December 5, head to Arc 2000 for La Première Montée des Arcs! In the quiet of the mountains, we’ll enjoy the freshly groomed trails and rediscover the thrill of ski touring.
No stopwatch, no pressure: we’ll take it easy. Everyone moves at their own pace, amid encouragement, smiles, and the joy of sharing this first gathering of the season.
And because kicking off winter together is even better when it’s for a good cause, we’re rallying to support the Telethon!
5 km to kick off the season!
Starting from Pré Saint Esprit in Arc 2000, we’re heading for the Col de la Chal! On the agenda: 5 km of ski touring, 700 m of elevation gain, and a few calf muscles to wake up! All on a marked trail to be covered at your own pace.
The morning’s schedule:
- 9 a.m.: Welcome reception for participants with a hot drink
- 10 a.m.: Group start from Pré Saint Esprit with a briefing just before departure (please arrive at least 10 minutes before the start time)
- Starting at 11:30 a.m.: buffet and social gathering at Pré Saint Esprit
To make the most of this first ascent, be sure to bring your ski touring gear and review the terms and conditions of participation.
After the effort comes the reward!
Because good times often linger over a meal, we’ll gather for a well-deserved appetizer buffet! On the menu: some tasty snacks, something to warm you up, and—most importantly—a chance to share stories of the season’s first adventures (or almost!).
We’ll meet at Pré Saint Esprit, in a sheltered area, to extend this morning together!
And here’s some good news: this fun get-together is free for all participants! To join in, just be sure to register in advance using the online form. This will help us plan enough food to treat everyone. It would be a shame to miss out…
We’re heading up for a good cause!
Because the joy of being together is even greater when it serves a meaningful purpose, La Première Montée des Arcs is also a charity event to benefit the Telethon.
One climb, shared efforts, and above all, a wonderful collective spirit for a cause that brings us together!
The minimum donation is €5 for those 18 and older, payable on-site on the day of the event. All proceeds will be donated to the AFM-Telethon.
Why not share the ride, too?
Since we’re sharing a wonderful day, why not start with the ride there! To get to Arc 2000, why not carpool?
No specific transportation is organized for the event, but the BlaBlaCar Daily platform lets you arrange carpooling.
It’s a great way to keep the friendly spirit going even before you’ve put your skis on the snow!
