Winter FestiSlack
Edition 2025
In the heart of the Les Arcs ski area, lies the fabulous natural site of Deux Têtes, with panoramic views of the Haute Tarentaise valley and the Mont Blanc massif.
This is where highliners from all over the world meet, from beginners to the best international athletes, in a friendly atmosphere with the neon colors of the 80s!
This year the spotlight is on Surf - highline: an impressive and hypnotic discipline! The show will be visible to all skiers passing by the top of the Mont-Blanc chairlift.
