Glisse en Coeur March 20 to 22, 2026

In 16 editions, Glisse en Coeur has established itself as the charity event of the French mountains, with almost 5.5 million euros donated to 31 associations.

This success is based on a unique concept combining solidarity and skiing in relay teams from Saturday 2pm to Sunday same time, all in a feverish atmosphere created by live concerts given each winter by headliners from the French music scene.

See you March 20-22, 2026 for the 17th edition.

The objectives

Collect donations for children’s causes. Via the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance, donations will go to 4 main associations, all working to protect and support children marked by different life paths: “Les Puits du Désert; Laurette Fugain; La Compagnie Après la Pluie and Women Safe & Children”.
Raise the profile of the association and its cause.
Bring energy and recognition to the association’s leaders, children, families, supervisors and companions.
To offer a powerfulcollective human adventure for family, friends and colleagues. An adventure of solidarity, sport and celebration!

The winners of the “Course aux dons” will be the teams who collect the most donations in each of the 2 categories “Company” and “Tribe” AND who take up the sporting challenge of 24 hours of non-stop skiing in team relays.

The challenge for the teams in the race is to ski down the eponymous slope (each winter, the equivalent of a round-the-world race is completed at Le Grand-Bornand), but not without raising several hundred thousand euros in an intensive online fund-raising campaign, in support of recognized children’s causes.

Did you know?

Since 2008, the success of Glisse en Coeur has been due to the unwavering commitment of hundreds of volunteers on all fronts, in all weathers and at all hours of the day and night. Without them, Glisse en Coeur would not have been able to collect over €5 million in donations for the various children’s charities it has supported since the first edition, and become the charity event of the French mountains.
