La Plagne was set for a burst of spring mayhem as the resort's much‑loved Kamicaze soapbox race was set to return on Easter Monday 6 April 2026. But we now see this event has been cancelled
Open to both participants and onlookers, the annual event, described by the resort as "a firm fixture in the spring ski calendar", invites teams to hurtle down the snow in homemade contraptions that prioritise creativity as much as speed.
Festivities normally begin with an early‑evening showcase, giving spectators a close‑up look at the most outlandish builds before they're unleashed on the piste. Once racing gets underway, competitors navigate the course in a blend of ingenuity and controlled chaos, with wipeouts often as entertaining as the victories.
Prizes are awarded across several categories, including fastest descent, most inventive design and boldest performance. The celebrations continue into the night with an open‑air DJ set, keeping the festival atmosphere alive long after the final run.
