Luca Downhill longboard retreat

FRENCH ALPS

28 JUNE - 5 JULY 2025

10YEARS OF DOWNHILL LONGBOARDING

A WOODWINGS CLASSIC

CHOOSE LIFE X CHOOSE LIVED MOMENTS

A Woodwings' classic downhill longboard coaching trip. The legendary trip everyone is talking about.

 

This retreat is perfect for beginners new to (downhill) longboarding - and intermediate riders who want to level up their style & technique.

Less core - more Fun : While downhill longboarding remains the core activity of the trip, we organize many other activities. With this formula, we want to lower the entry level for beginners even more, and promote downhill longboarding as a way to enjoy mountains & discover remote places. Skate - hike - unwind, all while creating lasting memories & worldly friendships.

THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE, ONLY FRIENDS WE HAVE YET TO MEET

THE LOCATION

We are staying in Manigod - La Clusaz, the Northern feet of the French Alps. This year you can enjoy a stay in one of our five-star full-catered luxury chalets. The right amount of comfort when traveling from afar. To unwind from a tiring day of skating, you can let your muscles recover in our jacuzzis, sauna & swimming pool!

THE FOOD

Often rated as 'the best part of the camp'.

A full meal plan with delicious skate/street food, for meat eaters and vegetarians. For our beloved vegans: we try to cook as many vegan dishes as possible, add plant protein, and separate animal-based products, but without compromising the food requirements for our vegetarians. We take your food allergies and dietary restrictions into careful consideration; the best as we possibly can. Of course, cooking delicious food for a large group is already hard enough, but our chef Alex knows to work his creative magic in the kitchen. 

LESS CORE MORE FUN

You’ll retreat in one of the most beautiful areas of the Alps. Just being there and doing nothing should be on your bucket list. Slow down. Unwind, chill, and be at peace. You’ll return home feeling rejuvenated « to make young or youthful again ». With meditation, breathing, stretching, and functional training in the mornings/evenings, we will do our part.

Next to the daily skating, we organize an afternoon trip to Annecy, to hidden waterfalls & gems, and one day of trekking to explore the surroundings of our longboard paradise, to the highest peak around the lake of Annecy.
