The Outdoormix Winter Festival from January 13 to 15, 2023, 4 days of sports and parties!
A vitamin-packed cocktail of outdoor sporting disciplines and free concerts set the Hautes-Alpes resort alight. To add to this festive recipe, the 2023 edition saw the birth of a veritable village of events open to all. Demo sports: jumpline, snowkayak and mountain biking on snow to discover the disciplines of the pro-riders and take in the sights!
A 400m-long course with 9 banked turns
A boardercross specially designed for kayakers registered for the contest. Spectacular practice with high-flying competitors. Starting at 9 a.m., the first swirls and paddle strokes, the competitors take to the water at full speed. At the finish line, the spectators are delighted to cheer on each participant in a supercharged atmosphere. Daring and curious festival-goers took to the lower part of the circuit in complete safety to try out this spectacular discipline with stars in their eyes. Tom Dollé, world freestyle kayak champion, took first place. A fine performance for an audience won over by the phenomenon.
Mountain biking on snow
Trails as steep as they were slippery welcomed bikers in perfect snowy conditions.
Mountain biking on snow
In a vertiginous atmosphere, the riders raced down the boardercross track with its banked turns.
Slackline Freestyle
On their slacklines, the extreme tightrope walkers gave us cold sweats! A taut strap was all the athletes needed to link incredible figures with somersaults. Spectators held their breath at the beauty of this show of balance and artistry. Headlining the show were Valentin Huet, 2018 European champion in the discipline, and Claire Irad, world leader in the discipline.
1.7 km of descent for 490m of negative vertical drop
The derby puts on a show with a full-speed descent from the top of the Mayt chairlift. The large crowd enjoyed the show.
Located at the bottom of the resort’s slopes, the event’s base camp was bustling with activity. Visitors took part in a variety of activities and demonstrations including trickline (freestyle slackline), wooden games, pétanque on snow and snowkate on snowpark modules set up especially for the occasion on the snowfront.
Free concerts livened up the big top dancefloor with renowned artists such as JORIS DE LA CROIX, HUGO KANT, FLYING ORKESTAR, POCHATT’CREW and DARKSIDE
The best KLists, in search of the crystal globe, meet in Vars from January 25 to 30, 2023
