Les P'tits Flambeaux", a charity torchlight descent, is a warm and friendly event open to all.
What is Les P'tits Flambeaux?
It's a national solidarity event taking place on Thursday, February 19, 2026.

Funds raised will be donated to the following 3 associations: "Enfance & Montagne", "Génération Montagne", and "Petits Princes".
Torches will be on sale at the ESF office and the Tourist Office, for €10 each.
