A new event that aims to recreate the spirit of the great ski \u00abspring sessions\u00bb of the 2000s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00c0 <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/subject\/serre-chevalier-2\/\">Serre Chevalier<\/a>, the end of the season should no longer resemble a simple gradual closure of the slopes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Winter 2026-2027, the Hautes-Alpes resort is teaming up with OutdoorMix, a leader in festivals combining outdoor sports and contemporary music, to launch a brand new XXL event at the beginning of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For three days, riders, holidaymakers, concert-goers and mountain enthusiasts will come together around a concept that has now firmly established itself in the outdoor world: sliding during the day, partying in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A \u00abSpring Break\u00bb Alpine style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The idea put forward by the organisers is clear: to revive the spirit of the great freestyle gatherings of the 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring snow, sessions with friends, music at the foot of the slopes, sunshine, car parks transformed into social hubs, approachable riders... The OutdoorMix Winter Festival aims to recapture that freer, more festive atmosphere that has long characterised the world of snow sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All within one of Europe's largest ski areas with its 250 kilometres of pistes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival will take place in the Pontillas sector of La Salle-les-Alpes, with an event village set up at an altitude of 2250 metres at the arrival of the cable car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Waterslide, snow pumptrack and freestyle on snow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the sports front, the programme will focus on participatory and spectacular formats. Freestyle skiing, snowboarding, demonstrations, taster sessions and equipment tests will punctuate the weekend with a clear aim: to make the sport accessible even to holidaymakers who don't necessarily come to compete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>READ MORE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/serre-chevalier-activities-events-new-features-the-complete-guide-to-summer-2026\/\">Serre Chevalier: activities, events, new features... the complete guide to summer 2026<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the announced attractions, the traditional waterslide \u2013 this immense pool that riders must cross by sliding \u2013 will obviously be part of the scenery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another anticipated new feature is a snow pumptrack, a snow-covered version of the undulating circuits already popular for mountain biking and BMX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aim is to break down barriers between competitors, amateurs and curious onlookers in a much more open atmosphere than traditional sporting events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two scenes and a festival atmosphere in the mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music will play a central role in the setup. During the day, DJ sets and entertainment will be spread across the ski area, with several panoramic stages set up at altitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the evening, the public will descend again to the foot of the Pontillas cable car, where a second event zone will be set up around the skatepark and the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organisers promise a concert line-up that will be revealed in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Serre Chevalier wants to strengthen its end of season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this event, Serre Chevalier is primarily pursuing an increasingly visible strategy in the Alps: making the end of the season a real tourist highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long considered a quieter period, the first fortnight of April is gradually becoming an ideal breeding ground for hybrid events that combine skiing, lifestyle, music, and the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The format also seems perfectly aligned with the valley's DNA: a sporty but also festive mountain, accessible and focused on modern outdoor activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The OutdoorMix Winter Festival will take place from Friday 2 to Sunday 4 April 2027 in Serre Chevalier. Access to the altitude village will be possible during the day with a ski pass or a pedestrian pass via the Pontillas cable car. Evening concerts will be accessible with a ticket.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Glisse, concerts, waterslide, freestyle et DJ sets \u00e0 2250 m\u00e8tres d\u2019altitude : Serre Chevalier accueillera du 2 au 4 avril 2027 la premi\u00e8re \u00e9dition de l\u2019OutdoorMix Winter Festival.
