More than 1,000 places available for the 50 clinics scheduled, focused on climbing, mountaineering, trail running, trekking, photography. These will be designed on three different levels of difficulty, to allow everyone to safely experience what the mountains can offer. Adrenaline, competition, but also peace and breathtaking views.
What’s new in 2025
New this year is the first trail running clinic reserved exclusively for women, which will lead all registered participants to tackle a 34km route, divided into two days. Also not to be missed are the climbing and bouldering sessions, such as the one held by Clement Lechaptois. Here, experienced boulderers will be able to develop their technique by optimizing dynamic movement, as well as reading and quickly solving problems that may arise during the ascent. For mountaineers, 24 clinics are planned, including one that will allow them to climb a long route with a night bivouac in the Mont Blanc massif together with two Arc’teryx athletes and the UIAGM mountain guides, Fred Degoulet and Benjamin Ribeyre.
The Alpine Village will also host a rich program of activities open to the public. From meet & greets with international athletes to training courses on the correct use of sports equipment, to climbing test stations, preview screenings of themed films, live concerts and DJ sets. Without forgetting the Arc’teryx Gear Library and the ReBIRDTM corner, where you can discover the latest news from the brand and its specialized repair and washing program designed to extend the life of garments.
