In 2025, 158 teams took part in the 16th Glisse en Coeur, raising 600,316 euros for 4 charities: Les Puits du Désert, Laurette Fugain, La Compagnie Après la Pluie and Women Safe & Children.
Glisse en Coeur has collected almost 5.5 million euros in donations, all editions combined!
For 2026, the strong choice of a social cause, for the betterment of society.
This year, the Bornandin event will be run in aid of the Ma Chance Moi Aussi association, founded in 2015 by André Payerne, an entrepreneur in the metal industry who is sensitive to social inequalities. His aim: to help the most vulnerable children to succeed. The first establishment was opened in Chambéry (Savoie). Today, the association has 13 centres across France. The association is committed to providing comprehensive, preventive support for vulnerable children from families with educational difficulties, from the age of 6 right through to the end of secondary school if necessary.
Using a comprehensive, long-term educational model, Ma Chance Moi Aussi works on a daily basis to help children to
- the acquisition of fundamental school skills
- developing interpersonal skills
- cultural, artistic and civic awareness.
It works hand in hand with families, schools and local authorities to reveal children’s potential and pass on the essential values that will enable them to choose their future despite social and educational obstacles.
This main cause will be joined, as in the two previous editions, by five sponsored associations now under the aegis of the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance: 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, with more causes being defended.

Objectives
- Collect donations for causes dedicated to children. Via the Fonds de Dotation pour l’Enfance, donations will be paid to 4 main associations all working to protect and support children marked by a different life path: “Les Puits du Désert”, “Laurette Fugain”, “La Compagnie Après la Pluie” and “Women Safe & Children”.
- Raise the profile of the charity and the cause it supports.
- Give energy and recognition to the association’s leaders, children, families, supervisors and carers.
- To offer a greatcollective human adventure for family, friends or colleagues. An adventure of solidarity, sport and celebration!
The winners of the Race for Donations will be the teams who collect the most donations in each of the 2 categories “Company” and “Tribe” AND who meet the sporting challenge of 24 hours of non-stop skiing in relay teams.
The challenge for the teams in the race is to ski down the eponymous slope (each winter, the equivalent of almost a round-the-world race is completed in Le Grand-Bornand) without having failed to raise several hundred thousand euros as part of an intensive online fund-raising campaign for children’s causes that are recognised as being in the public interest.
Did you know?
Since 2008, the success of Glisse en Coeur has been due to the unwavering commitment of hundreds of volunteers who work 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.
