About Epiphany Race Brusson

Every year, for Epiphany, the cross-country ski trails of the Foyer du Fond in Brusson come alive with the Epiphany Race, a fun competition designed for children. Between skiing, smiles, and lots of fun on the snow, the young athletes compete in a festive atmosphere that closes the Christmas holidays in Val d'Ayas. At the end of the race, a snack with mulled wine and hot tea warms young and old alike.

An Epiphany Tradition in Brusson

In the heart of the Val d'Ayas, the municipality of Brusson (Province of Aosta) bids farewell to the Christmas holidays with an event dedicated to the little ones: the Epiphany Race, a fun cross-country ski race organized in collaboration with the Sci Club Brusson. The event takes place on the trails of the Foyer du Fond, in the Estoul basin, one of the most popular cross-country skiing areas in the Aosta Valley.

The Spirit of the Event

More than a real competition, it's a celebration on the snow: children glide on skis, laughing and cheering, accompanied by their families and instructors. The atmosphere is typical of Aosta Valley village festivals, where sport, tradition, and conviviality blend into a single day.

The Final Snack

At the end of the race, there's a convivial moment: a snack with mulled wine for adults and hot tea for children, to be enjoyed outdoors amidst the snowy mountains of Val d'Ayas.

Brusson, the Cross-Country Skiing Capital of the Aosta Valley

Brusson has always been a benchmark for cross-country skiing in the Aosta Valley: its trails in Estoul host regional and national competitions and welcome enthusiasts of all levels every winter. The Epiphany Race is the sweetest way to introduce children to this sport.
