To ski for a life, what a great challenge!

This winter, Groupe PVG is proud to partner with Glisse en Cœur, the leading charity event in the French mountains. The event will take place on the Charmieux slopes at Le Grand-Bornand Chinaillon, from Friday 20 to Sunday 22 March 2026, in a festive and supportive atmosphere.

Glisse en Cœur, a unique event

Now in its 17th edition, Glisse en Cœur combines sport, solidarity and live music. Almost €5.5 million has been raised for 31 associations to date. Each year, participants take turns skiing in a 24-hour relay, while live concerts and animations entertain everyone throughout the weekend.

The event’s objectives are to support associations dedicated to children, increase awareness of their cause, provide recognition and encouragement to organisers, children and families, and offer a strong collective adventure that is both charitable, sporting and festive.

This 2026 edition highlights the association Ma Chance Moi Aussi, which has been working since 2015 to promote equal opportunities and counteract social determinism in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.

A cause to support

Ma Chance Moi Aussi supports vulnerable children from the age of six until the end of secondary school, providing educational, cultural and civic programmes that complement their schooling. The association helps children develop autonomy, reveal their potential, and become active, responsible citizens.

All donations collected during Glisse en Cœur will be given to the association to fund its educational programmes and support children in achieving their full potential.
