Women at the Summit / Les Contamines-Montjoie celebrates women from July 22 to 28, 2019
From July 22 to 28, 2019, Les Contamines-Montjoie celebrates women. For a whole week, this pretty resort in Haute-Savoie will punctuate its days with sporting activities, wellness workshops, conferences, film screenings and round tables to highlight women.
“Women at the Summit” week
Many disciplines still close their doors to women today. If trends change and evolve, it is important to fight for women's sport to be considered and recognized for its true value. It is essential to provide the means for women's sport to develop and to promote female practice.
It is precisely for this purpose, to celebrate women and their sporting performances that the Contamines-Montjoie is organizing this year and for the very first time the “Women at the Summit” week. The idea of these meetings is to facilitate exchanges on the place of women in sport, in mountain environments and more generally in the heart of society.
For a week, a rich program of sports and well-being activities will punctuate the participants' days. The evenings will be the scene of conferences and round tables where brand ambassadors will take the floor to discuss and debate with women.
They will intervene during "Women at the Summit":
- Coline Mattel
- Perrine Pelen
- Marie Bochet
- Sylviane Noel
- Anne-Chantal Pigelet
- And many others…
The Alice Milliat foundation
The “Women at the Summit” week is a project accredited by the Alice Milliat Foundation, the first European foundation in favor of women's sport. Sheltered by the Fondation du Sport Français Henri Sérandour, it is recognized as being of public utility.
