It’s time again for the 5th edition of the Esprit Montagne Invitational week. This first anniversary edition will also be unique, with a combination of various Vertical KMs and Skyraces, and of course the Esprit Montagne Invitational itself, but this time the race will be an ‘Extreme’ version. The two routes will be run consecutively! The route has still not yet been laid out, and participants will run using a map and with a live tracker. And of course, the culinary highlight of the event will be a BBQ prepared by Raf on Friday. It’s trail running at its purest, just running through the mountains with other trailers and fun for everyone.

Epique Freeride week

This year, we are even organizing a second week in cooperation with Epique: a Freeride week in the Portes du Soleil. That means there won’t just be loads of snow, but also plenty of snow! For both skiers and snowboarders, for one week, the focus will be on technique, safety, choice of route and group dynamics. But we will also examine how you can start planning from home by reading an avalanche bulletin correctly and checking weather reports.
Tickets for the event cost EUR 1,295 and you can register for the trip or find more information on the Epique website.

With our snowshoes on and a torch in your hand, we walk from the hotel to the Cascade Bayard. This waterfall is often frozen, which produces a beautiful, fairylike effect in the light of the torches.
