Early pre-opening

festive

To mark the opening, a pyromusical show lit up the snow front at 6.30pm on Saturday 6 December. The following day, Sunday 7 December, the village of Les Claux rocked to the rhythm of a musical parade and a festive parade.

9am to 10.30am: Opening drink

Join us on the Vars les Claux snow front for a warm drink.

6.30pm: Pyromusical show

Join us on the Vars les Claux snow front for a fireworks show by Pandora Artifice, accompanied by live music.

Between 10am and 2.30pm: Festive strolls

They arrive from a cyber planet with a baroque punk vibe. Strange lights accompany them like totems, allowing you to contemplate their parade from afar.
Come and shake and sway to the music.
Stroll between the Front de neige des Claux and the Point Show.
