Alexia Paganini, a two-time Olympian and four-time Swiss champion, brought elegance and grace to the ice, while the Montreal-based company Patin Libre shared their unique style of contemporary skating, mixing modern dance moves with humour and athleticism.
The festive evening was enhanced by a glow-in-the-dark juggling performance by Anthony from the company L’Oiseau de Passage, and routines by skaters from the figure skating section of the Chamonix Club des Sports, who presented spectacular choreographies inspired by China, India, and Spain, among others.

A Spooky halloween session
|
5/10/2025
Our Monday night training session this week got scary with a special Halloween event for our youngest skaters. The kids came along in fantastic spooky outfits and laughed and smiled all through the session; except when they were making their most scary faces to terrify us of course! The session was a mix of fun games such as hunting down sweets on the ice and special Halloween dances to follow-along. A great time was had by all and we enjoyed creating a magical evening for the kids to get to know each other better and create some unforgettable memories.

Pitchoun skills camp
|
21/9/2025
This weekend two of our younger skaters Katie Kirkman and Ann Ito took part in the “Pitchouns” camp organised by the Ligue Aura. The event brings together children under the age of eight who already have a certain level of skating. Throughout the two-day camp they were not only able to develop new skating skills, but also to build friendships; getting to know skaters from other clubs in the their local league that they will meet at competitions. The programme included jumps, spins, skating skills, dance, physical preparation, as well as training for the coaches. Well done to all the kids for their commitment and to all the coaches who took part; in particular to our three trainers from the region, Laetitia, Ludo and Yoann. Thank you to Bar des Légendes for the catering and to ENSA for the accommodation. And last but not least, well done to Katie and Ann for their hard work and their great team spirit throughout the whole weekend. What an amazing weekend. |

We have about 100 members and a coaching team comprised of two nationally qualified skating coaches (DEJEPS) as well as qualified skaters, physical trainers and a mental preparation coach.
Our aim is to inspire as many people as possible to embrace the joy of figure skating and to nurture and develop the best possible performance for each individual skater.
Skaters can join the club from age four and can skate recreationally or at competition level.

Figure skating is both a sport that combines technique and artistry. It combines technical precision with grace, musicality and physical strength. Figure skating differs from other forms of skating such as ice dancing and synchronised skating in that it concentrates on jumps, spins, steps and transition movements and dance.
Learning to figure skate has many benefits for both children and adults. Physically the sport helps to develop excellent balance, good reflexes and coordination, as well as helping with postural control.
Skating requires concentration and self discipline - skills that very important in our sport. Learning to follow instructions so they can skate safely, taking responsibility for themselves and learning to be part of a team are all part of the learning experience for our skaters. In addition your child will get to experience the pleasure of skating in front of an audience and the fun of being with their friends.
It is a demanding sport, but one that is full of fun and joy - the freedom of gliding across the ice, the pleasure of skating to music and the pride you feel when you perfect a move - these are the things that we hope each of our skaters will experience.
