On January 15th, the peaks of Val d’Isère buzzed with a unique energy. Perched at an altitude of 2,400 meters where the air is crisp and the horizon feels endless, Palladium celebrated its brand-new collaboration with the legendary après-ski institution, La Folie Douce.
A blend of visual discovery and high-altitude thrills, this event marked a milestone in our ongoing pursuit of movement and freedom.

Collaboration rooted in authenticity
Since 1947, Palladium has been the companion for those who dare to explore off the beaten path, from city streets to snowy summits. By teaming up with La Folie Douce, we found a partner that shares our vision: transforming every single moment into a true adventure.
The terrace at Val d’Isère, the ultimate temple of high-altitude living, offered the perfect backdrop for this celebration. Under a brilliant sun, artists and winter sports enthusiasts came together for a moment suspended in time, proving that exploration knows no bounds, especially when there’s a festive spirit in the air.
Pallarider Mix x La Folie Douce: The boot for every exploration
At the heart of this collaboration is a standout silhouette: the Pallarider Mix x La Folie Douce. Priced at 190€, this exclusive edition was designed for those who refuse to choose between technical comfort and bold aesthetics.
Freedom of movement: Its hybrid design lets you transition effortlessly from exploring the slopes to long evenings on the terrace.
Technical excellence: Equipped with an ultra-grippy Vibram® outsole and a Waterproof Plus membrane, it offers total protection against snow and splashes.
Iconic style: Featuring nubuck leather and iridescent nylon accents, it perfectly captures La Folie Douce’s vibrant and unconventional color palette.
Did you know? If you look closely, you’ll notice that La Folie Douce teams, from the servers to the performers, are also wearing exclusive versions of the Pallarider, such as the Fruitière or Cucucina models, tailored specifically to their workspace.
Val d'Isère: The first step in a winter of movement
The party on January 15th marked the beginning of an alpine odyssey, bringing together the Palladium community in an authentic mountain setting where Palladium boots were right at home.
Seeing the Palladium community embrace the mountain lifestyle with such spontaneity set the tone for the season, and the adventure continues on March 31st in Les Arcs with the second party of the winter, an elevated experience inspired by exploration, outdoor culture, and life in Palladium boots.
