✨ Thursday 29th January, 5th February, and 12th March 2026

Join our instructors for a magical descent! With red and blue light torches in hand, carve your most beautiful turns under the spotlights. Then, enjoy the SKI SHOW: breathtaking tricks, skiing demonstrations, and as the grand finale, the instructors’ final descent followed by a spectacular fireworks display!

Join us for the 3rd edition of the Solidarity Mountain Day “Les P’tits Flambeaux”: ski resorts across France will be holding torchlight descents with ESF instructors in support of Enfance & Montagne, a charitable fund dedicated to education and helping children access discovery classes in the mountains.

Challenge yourself against other skiers and put your technique to the test with the SkiOpen Flèche and Chamois races! Organized throughout the season by our esf Val Cenis instructors, these timed events are the perfect opportunity to push your limits and improve your ranking.

• Le Chamois – A special slalom race! Test your agility on a fast, technical course of 30 to 40 gates with 120 to 200 meters of vertical drop, for a run of around 30 seconds.
