The sixth edition of the "Ski for all" event from Boutch to Boutch Association, will take place on Saturday 25 March 2023, all the inhabitants of the Chamonix valley can benefit from a free afternoon of skiing at Les Planards.
This day allows you to discover skiing or perfect your turns, whether on skis, snowboard or even for the most adventurous on a monoski. The activity is also offered in handiski. The idea is to democratize skiing, for a day.
Registrations for Ski for All are open!
For inhabitants of the Chamonix valley: You must send an e-mail to the address skipourtouschamonix@gmail.com specifying your name, first name, age, chosen activity and your need for equipment and ski pass.
Equipment, ski pass, supervision, everything is provided. Le Boutch à Boutch has involved multiple partners in the event: the Planards for the ski passes and volunteer ski instructors to run the lessons. As for the boards and other shoes with hooks, the generosity of several sports stores is solicited.
La Vallée Blanche for all
For the most skilful with sliding, the operation even allows a descent of the Vallée Blanche, on Saturday 25 March. Here again, supervision by high mountain guides is included, as is the climb to the Aiguille du Midi with a pass provided by the Compagnie du Mont-Blanc. You just need to live in the valley to be able to enjoy the landscapes of the massif for free.
Donation "Winter Sports"
If the day is offered by the Boutch à Boutch association and its partners, the general public can contribute to the success of the operation through the Ski for All “donation”.
Everyone can transfer their winter sports equipment, provided in good condition. Skis, boots, poles, gloves, jackets, goggles, helmets etc.
All you have to do is put the dry equipement, in front of the door of the new mazot of the île des Barrats. In your favorite shoes or on your favorite skis, the beneficiaries will be delighted to perpetuate the enthusiasm that guided you on your best ski descents.
