Situated at 2,300 meters above sea level, Val Thorens boasts the perfect location for such a competition. The renowned Cime Caron will be the arena for this event, a peak famous for its technical lines and stunning views. With a start at 3,105 meters and a descent to 2,575 meters, the competitors will face a major challenge: over 500 meters of vertical drop on an average slope of 32 degrees.

This French stage of the Freeride World Tour is one of a kind: it is the only one accessible via ski lifts, thanks to the the Cime Caron cable car* or the Orelle-Caron gondola lift.. The athletes will tackle steep lines, ridges, and couloirs, providing a fast and technical descent. The open terrain, combined with narrower sections, will push riders to their physical and technical limits.

This Val Thorens Pro, a new addition to the circuit, is set to become a must-see competition in the freeride world. Located in the heart of Les 3 Vallées, Val Thorens stands out with its electric atmosphere, promising to thrill both athletes and spectators.
