The highlights of the weekend

The welcome evening

Friday 7 PM

If the weather permits, we invite all festival-goers on Friday evening from 7pm at the Chamousse 1650 ice rink for a welcome evening, with skates on. A light dinner will be offered until 9pm. On this occasion, we invite festival-goers to bring a culinary specialty from their region. Experience has shown us that around a good bottle or a nice piece of typical cheese, language barriers and shyness do not last long.

Car/motorcycle gatherings

Throughout the weekend​

A gathering of vintage vehicles (pre-1969) is planned throughout the weekend, with a dedicated parking area and improvised rides to suit the weather and your mood. As every year, the event will start on Saturday mornings with a meeting point at the locality of "des seiglières" between 10 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The convoy will leave around 10:45 a.m. for the Chamrousse resort, arriving around 11:30 a.m.

Another mechanical meeting is planned for Sunday morning around 9 a.m. in the dedicated parking lot, near the tourist office of Recoin / Chamrousse 1650.

VINTAGE SKIING CONTEST

Saturday, March 15, 2025 - 4pm

One of the highlights of the weekend is definitely the "Vintage Slalom" on Saturday afternoon where around twenty skiers compete each year in 3 categories: 30s/40s, 50s/60s and a Ski Bike or "Ski Bike" category. skibob". For each of these categories, the participant must proudly present (and practice) period clothing and equipment! Those who still hold on to their cruciate ligaments will be invited to encourage the valiant competitors with the sound of their bell and other period sound utensils of course.

The sledding race

Saturday, March 15, 2025 - 5:30 p.m.
