Looking back at...

Winter Opening

The first edition of the Winter Opening took place between 7 and 11 December, and was a great success, with some 8,000 people visiting the Ycoor Centre. The official opening of the ice rink was followed by a figure skating gala with Brian Joubert, and grand fireworks launched the event, with a second edition already planned for 2017. There was an introduction to different sports on ice, ice discos, and also lots of concerts and a Christmas Market which seduced everyone, young and old. On Thursday evening, almost 3,000 people attended the free Bastian Baker concert.

Guest Tables Food & Ice

The second edition of Guest Tables was a great success, taking place at the new Ycoor ice centre on 4 December with over 100 participants. Whilst last August it was a question of linking Street Art with gastronomy (Food & Art), the autumn version turned to ice (Food & Ice). Different variations on fondue, prepared by the Petit Chalet and Du Terroir dairies, were placed in the middle of the ice rink, and recipes proposed by Michelin starred chefs Franck Reynaud and Pierre Crepaud won over the participants, who could skate from one dish to the next. Before ending with desserts concocted by Gerber, visitors could try curling in the new Ycoor hall, and watch a HC Crans-Montana training session. Vintners from the Haut Plateau offered the best local wines to savour during the evening, in frosted surroundings. Rendez-vous on 19 March for the next edition, which will be the SkI Food Safari.
