The origin
The association was founded in 2012. Its purpose is to support Slacklining And Highlining in Haute Tarentaise, in Savoie. It started with the event Winter Festislack, which has brought together for 8 editions, 150 practitioners from all over the world.
We are now two women at the head of this association, extremely motivated to develop its many facets.
Our history
In 2019 Chloë and Gaëlle unite to set up the first highline initiation courses in France. Both passionate about teaching in their original disciplines (skiing for Chloë and trampoline for Gaëlle), and after years of spontaneously introducing beginner participants at multiple festivals, they decided to share their experience. They love to bring all audiences and profiles to take their first steps into the void, and to accompany them on this overwhelming learning path.
Slack'îcimes is...
The association has always been committed to the development of slackline and highline, as well as sharing its core values.

INSTRUCTOR HIGHLINE & ORGANIZER WINTER FESTISLACK
I discovered highline at its very beginnings in France by meeting the Flying Frenchies, pioneers of the activity, and have seen the evolution over the years of the discipline: installations, materials, techniques...
The aesthetics of the highline leads me to want to access alpine places and I invest myself in climbing and mountaineering for several years to be able to achieve lines that make me dream.
These years of learning lead me to as much inner work as technical and physical work, and I am passionate about passing on my experience, first for several years as a volunteer at festivals, then since 2019 through internships. initiation with Gaëlle.
Ihe magic that is created within the community around the highline is contagious and lasts over the years, and my passion does not age, unlike me ;)

In 2011, the slackline came into my life, and gradually took a big place. Already accustomed to cliffs thanks to climbing, I naturally headed towards the practice of the Highline.
After a difficult start, the highline ended up changing me. It changes my apprehension of fear, it changes my vision of life, and of the people around me.It meets two of my needs perfectly: understand & share.
Understand the technical installations, and the constant evolution of the material, but also the fear, the overcoming, the acceptance, and all the other feelings which cross us.
And share my knowledge, see the sparkles in the eyes of those new to slacklining, and work with them on their blocks.
Since then, I've traveled a lot, I've been in the mountains, I've set up highlines at many festivals, and I've done countless initiations.After having been President of the Grenoble slackline association for several years, I met Chloë, and our valuesmunicipalities mixed with our complementary skills give life to new projects
and experiences, which confirm me once again on this observation:slacklining can change lives

Slacklining came into my life when I was 18, I was first passionate about longlining, before moving towards highlining.
My first highline experience was very (too?) emotionally charged. I came home trembling, thinking it wasn't for me. Finally, surrounded by the right people, I was able to surpass myself, and this passion quickly guided my life.
I love the intense flow that we can achieve by practicing this sport, the artistic side of our practice and the community of enthusiasts around slacklining.
Highlining made me rediscover mountain sports and allowed me to see my environment with another eye. I love mixing my passion with other mountain activities: climbing, ski touring, mountaineering, maybe soon paragliding...
Without knowing it, I have always done "highline freetsyle", before we put a name to this discipline. I have seen this practice evolve
over the years and I hope to be able to introduce it to as many people as possible. It offers another vision of the highline and allows you to surpass yourself at all levels!
