Glisse en coeur : a weekend that lived up to its promises!
Glisse en Cœur 2025 : A World Tour of Solidarity for Children
We’ve been talking about it for weeks, and Glisse en Cœur 2025 delivered on all its promises—and far beyond!
Over 32,832 kilometers covered in 24 hours, nearly the equivalent of a trip around the world, by 1,600 skiers in relayon the legendary slopes of Le Grand-Bornand. A sporting and human challenge, all for a single cause: supporting children through the four beneficiary associations of this 16th edition.
€600,316 raised—a dizzying figure. Thanks to the generosity of donors, corporate partners, and committed teams, each association, including Les Puits du Désert, will receive approximately €125,000 to carry out their work on the ground.
Our association stood out once again this year with 15 teams mobilized, including 5 supported by our loyal partner KSB France. Congratulations on their incredible commitment and the wonderful energy they brought throughout the event!
Some of the highlights of the weekend included:
– A charity dinner hosted by renowned names in French gastronomy, under the leadership of Yoann Conte
– The presence of our heartfelt ambassadors, Elie Chouraqui and David Pujadas
– The immense pride of seeing Christel Pernet and Mohamed Ixa interviewed by numerous media outlets covering the event. Their voices powerfully represented our associations and the children we support.
– And an electrifying concert that brought together more than 6,000 people at the foot of the slopes in a vibrant and heartwarming atmosphere, featuring performances by Bakermat and M. Pokora.
It was a weekend bursting with energy, smiles, music, snow, encounters, children, sunshine, generosity—life itself.
A huge thank you to the entire Glisse en Cœur organizing team, the Le Grand-Bornand Tourist Office, the 350 tireless and smiling volunteers, our outstanding partners, and all the personalities who gave their time to raise awareness and shine a light on this unique adventure.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who skied with us—for them.
