🇬🇧 OUR 2025 MAGAZINE COVERS: We’ve set the bar high in previous years but it’s with goosebumps and much excitement that we introduce Jessa Gilbert Art as our cover artist for the next 12 months.
Jessa’s art celebrates the joys of play and the tones of the mountains. Her murals, paintings and commissions emerge from her experiences in the back country and her moments of awe in the wild. She’s also passionate about mountain communities and sharing our unique culture. When she’s not painting, you’ll find Jessa working as a mountain guide in Squamish, British Columbia and planning her next big project, Drawn In, which she previews in this trailer (more on that in our winter magazine).
Our objective is always to give you art on our front cover, rather than simply just a pretty picture or stock photo. Watch this reel and get to know Jessa; she’ll be with us for the next 12 months ✌️
🇫🇷 NOS COUVERTURES DE MAGAZINE 2025 : Nous avons placé la barre très haut les années précédentes, mais c’est avec la chair de poule et beaucoup d’enthousiasme que nous vous présentons @jessagilbert comme notre artiste de couverture pour les 12 prochains mois.
L’art de Jessa célèbre les joies du jeu et les tons des montagnes. Ses peintures murales, ses peintures et ses commandes naissent de ses expériences dans l’arrière-pays et de ses moments d’émerveillement dans la nature. Elle est également passionnée par les communautés montagnardes et le partage de notre culture unique. Lorsqu’elle ne peint pas, vous trouverez Jessa travaillant comme guide de montagne à Squamish, en Colombie-Britannique, et planifiant son prochain grand projet, Drawn In, qu’elle présente en avant-première dans cette bande-annonce (plus d’informations à ce sujet dans notre magazine d’hiver).
Notre objectif est toujours de vous offrir de l’art sur notre couverture, plutôt qu’une simple jolie image ou une photo d’archive. Regardez cette bobine e

Alta Lumina - Explore the forest at night
Deep in the forests, above the rooftops of Les Gets, a story continues to be told. It’s the tale of a music-making hawker who’s hot air balloon crashes into the treetops during a mountain storm. Using the magic of hologram, light and sound, Alta Lumina is an immersive story that’s suitable for children of all ages. They’ll love the storytelling, the light shows and the musical experience, as will parents too!
Alta Lumina is entirely unique in Europe, the self-guided trail through the forest is around 1km long and you’ll likely spend an hour or so exploring the various interactive elements as the story comes to life.
Alta Lumina opens at dusk, so times vary during the summer season. Adult visits are priced at €19.50, children at €10.50 and you’ll need to book online in advance at altalumina.com. Access to the forest is via a free bus from Les Gets, a walk up to Lac des Ecoles, or there’s a free car park nearby.
[More news updates tomorrow 👍]

An Enhanced Avoriaz Bikepark
You’ll discover increased capacity on the lift network in Avoriaz this summer, with the operation of the Prolays chairlift between Saturday 22nd June and Sunday 1st September. This opening brings the number of summer lifts in the Avoriaz bike park to 10 and further enhances the sectors accessible to both mountain bikers and hikers. Prolays will be available for both bikes and pedestrians in an upward direction only, and doubles up with its neighbour the Lindarets chairlift, which will be dedicated to pedestrians for the first time this summer. Each chair on the Prolays lift will be equipped with two bike racks and the ability to transport 650 bikes per hour - an increase of 200 bikes an hour when compared to the previous Lindarets lift; we’re sure many of you will be grateful for this increased capacity.
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Avoriaz Bike Park, the Zore chairlift extends its opening until 7pm on Friday evenings between 5th July and 23rd August, giving everyone extra time to practise on the trails of the Super Morzine. There’s no extra cost to access the trails on a Friday evening, head up before the Telecabine closes at 5.15pm to enjoy the trails at dusk then use the road to descend back into Morzine.
As you may have spotted during the autumn months of 2023, the shapers of Avoriaz Bike Park were working hard on the creation of an entirely new red trail for the Summer 24 season. Named Chill Con Carne, there are a whopping 17 different kickers on this trail in the Séraussaix sector, so it’s not for the faint of heart. Chill Con Carne is entirely machine-shaped with a smooth running surface free from tree roots and stones. Obstacles include dirt bumps, whoops and wooden ramps which have been designed for professing rider
We’ve all been there, right?

Sharing for those (like me ☝️) with an appreciation for the architecture of #Avoriaz. We love you Avoriaz 1800 💙💙💙.📹 @djemographic #loveavoriaz
A reminder that there’s a very unstable snowpack out there at the moment. Proceed with absolute caution if you’re heading off piste.
Alongside all the @snowboxx vibes, springtime conditions and the fact that @avoriaz1800_officiel apparently has the second highest snow depth in the French Alps right now, there’s still considerable risk off piste.
Video from today, no one was injured and a massive 👊👊👊 to @servicedespistesavoriaz for their awesome search work. Thanks also to the concerned follower who sent this video! Stay safe skiers and snowboarders
