With a fundraising campaign lasting several months, a 24-hour team relay ski race and concerts, Glisse en Coeur is the charity event of the French mountains. For 2026, the strong choice of a social cause, for greater societal well-being.
Over the course of 16 editions, Glisse en Cœur has established itself as the leading charity event in the French mountains, with almost €5.5 million in donations given to 31 associations.
This success is based on a unique concept combining solidarity and team relay skiing from Saturday at 2pm to Sunday at the same time, all in a feverish atmosphere created by live concerts given each winter by headliners from the French music scene.
Glisse en Cœur is:
- A fundraising campaign lasting several months, with nearly €5.5 million already raised over 16 editions
- A 24-hour non-stop skiing challenge for more than 1,700 skiers, equivalent to nearly one trip around the world on a single ski slope
- A charity dinner and a large solidarity concert on the slopes, involving personalities from the worlds of sport, culture and the media. Feder, a key figure in French electro music, and Là-Bas - 100% Goldman will set the stage alight at the 2026 edition on Saturday 21st.
The winners of the Race for Donations will be the teams that have collected the most donations in the two categories, ‘Company’ and ‘Tribe,’ AND that have completed the sporting challenge of 24 hours of non-stop skiing in a team relay, as well as the challenges set for the teams.
The goal for 2026: 170 teams of skiers and to beat the record of €864,578 in donations!
For 2026, a strong commitment to a social cause, for greater societal well-being.
This year's Bornandin event will be held in aid of the Ma Chance Moi Aussi association, founded in 2015 by André Payerne, a metallurgy entrepreneur who is sensitive to social inequalities. Its goal is to support the most vulnerable children on their path to success. The first establishment was opened in Chambéry (Savoie). Today, the association has 13 structures spread across France. By supporting highly vulnerable children from families with educational difficulties, the association is committed to offering them comprehensive and preventive support, from the age of 6 until the end of secondary school if necessary.
Through a comprehensive, long-term educational model, Ma Chance Moi Aussi works on a daily basis to:
- help children acquire fundamental academic skills;
- develop life skills;
- cultural, artistic and civic awareness.
It works hand in hand with families, schools and local authorities to reveal children's potential and teach them the essential values that will enable them to choose their future despite social and educational obstacles.
In addition to this main cause, as in the two previous editions, now under the auspices of the Fonds de Dotation pour l'Enfance (Children's Endowment Fund), there will be five sponsored associations: Loisirs Assis Evasion, Les Pâtes au Beurre, Quiberon Infiniment Solidaire, Williams France and Le petit monde d'Ugo. The aim is to make the adventure more collective each year by supporting more causes.
Activate your networks, multiply initiatives, encourage your family, friends and professional contacts to donate to a team or a runner, so that together we can increase the overall donation total.
