Winter Festislack Les Arcs

After an innovative edition in the Fond Blanc circus, the Winter Festislack returns to the Deux Têtes site from April 3 to 6, 2025! The Les Arcs resort, which hosts this unique festival mixing skiing and highlining, will this year welcome the "sky surfers" with an unprecedented highline surfing contest. Also on the program: highline demonstrations, slackline initiations, a Ski/Snow & Highline photo contest… We look forward to seeing many of you discover these modern tightrope walkers in the middle of the slopes, facing Mont Blanc!

Nico Pires - Haizea

"Haizea"—The Wind. Is it merely an excuse for the diabolo artist to ward off failure, an ally to the tightrope walker facing adversity? One thing is certain: the wind is here… and so is the atmosphere! Let’s embrace it and play with it, lightly and poetically. A 10-minute diabolo act created by Nico Pires, a diabolo performer and balance seeker.

Duo Roll Accro - Verticality Unleashed

Constantly seeking more instability, the Roll Accro duo defies the laws of gravity in every direction. You might witness a fall if you watch closely—unless the acrobats decide otherwise…

6:30 PM - Adventure & Highline Film "Des Équilibres" - Free and open to all

Arc 1600, La Coupole

Film in French with English subtitles.

Highliners take us into their unique and visually extreme practice. From line to line, we transition from confusion to understanding—conveying tangible emotions and palpable physical and mental challenges. Within a team that seems unstoppable, we share the search for balance through imbalance.

Surf highlining involves swinging on a slackline mid-air, like on a swing. Athletes balance on a 2.5 cm-wide line and not only aim for the biggest movement possible but also perform impressive tricks.

This competition gathers the world's best athletes in the discipline, and it is the first event of this scale ever organized worldwide. The spectacle will be truly breathtaking!
