Itinerary


Opening time

Wednesday 26 February 2025 between 6.15 pm and 7 pm. Wednesday 5 March 2025 between 6.15 pm and 7 pm.

Every Wednesday during school holidays in February, holidaymakers and locals can experience a special event at sunset in the form of a charity torchlight procession open to all (minimum 2nd star required).

Start of the descent at 6.40pm. For those who wish to take part, meet at the top of the boule de Gomme ski lift before 6.15pm, last ascent possible.

The goal? To raise as much money as possible for the Enfance et Montagne association, which helps children who are not lucky enough to go on holiday to discover our beautiful mountains and their benefits.
