La Première Montée

For the 2019 FIRST ASCENT OF Montée les Arcs, more than 250 snow-riding fans came together on the freshly snow-covered pistes.
 

THE DAY

No stop watches, no pressure, just the pleasure of meeting up with friends again to spend a convivial moment together on a ski touring outing.

In surroundings that are still completely quiet and without lifts, you can put on your seal skins and make your first tracks on the freshly-groomed pistes of the Arc 2000  Valley this year.
