What is Les p'tits flambeaux?
It's a national solidarity event taking place on Thursday, February 20, 2025. Its aim is to mobilize all French ski resorts around a common goal: to raise funds to enable children who are not fortunate enough to be able to go on vacation to discover the French massifs and the benefits of the mountains. Funds raised will be donated to the following 3 associations: "Enfance & Montagne", "Génération Montagne", and "Petits Princes".
Torches will be on sale at the ESF office and at Châtel Tourisme, for €10 each.

Program (to be confirmed):
17:45-18:15: ascent via the Pierre-Longue chairlift (bring a valid ski pass).
6.30pm (or as soon as it gets dark): Descent of the "La Belette" green run, with Châtel ESF instructors (good level of skiing recommended).
Throughout the event: musical entertainment with the "Lok'adabra" percussion band, and hot drinks served in front of the Plaine Dranse hors-sac (free participation, with proceeds going to the associations listed above).
