This weekend of April 11 and 12, 2026, the La Clusaz resort switches to party mode with the return of the highly anticipated Boarder Line. An unmissable event at the end of the season, where skiing is experienced as much as a show as a competition… completely crazy.
A race like no other
Forget traditional cross-country skiing. Here, there is room for a concept as spectacular as it is original: a boarder cross… with cross-country skis. Amateurs and champions launch themselves on a technical course combining bumps, banked turns, and jumps, all in an electrifying atmosphere.
Organized by Team Farté, the Boarder Line gathers high-level skiers and enthusiasts each year to compete on a course as demanding as it is fun.
Once again this year, the lineup looks strong with the presence of many members of the French cross-country ski team… but also disguised participants ready to do whatever it takes to make an impression.
Sport… but above all a show
The Boarder Line is much more than just a race. It is a true show.
On and off the track, everything is designed for the audience:
- spectacular falls and improbable overtakes
- costume contest
- award for the best trick
- permanent festive atmosphere
Some awards reflect the quirky spirit of the event: this year, an unusual prize even promises… a year of burgers to the winner of a challenge!
A full weekend between skiing and partying
The festivities start on Saturday evening with a big party on the church square:

A festive end of season in the Aravis
As the ski season comes to an end, the Boarder Line stands out as the perfect event to close winter.
Between sporting performance, irony, and collective celebration, La Clusaz confirms its DNA: a resort where people come as much to ride as to live unique moments.
This weekend, one thing is for sure: in the Aravis, the snow will not be the only thing to sparkle.
