Summer 2025 – RGENtec® in Chamonix, where everything is at stake

Friction, blisters, burns, irritations… in outdoor sports, the skin often becomes the first witness — and sometimes the first victim — of intensity.

This summer, RGENtec® has chosen to connect with the very heartbeat of outdoor sport. Its mission is clear: to help athletes, whether professional or amateur, keep pushing their limits without being held back by skin pain or discomfort. In an environment as demanding as the mountains, regenerative care is more than just comfort — it’s a true ally of performance.

It’s only natural, then, that the brand has set up its summer base in Chamonix. And to mark this presence, it has partnered with iconic events and key players — right alongside those who live the mountain to the fullest.

First Step: An Alliance with ENSA

At the end of June, RGENtec® sealed a strategic partnership with the École Nationale de Ski et d’Alpinisme (ENSA). ENSA is much more than a school — it’s an institution that trains the professionals of high-altitude sports, from climbers to guides to alpinists.

For six months, RGENtec® products were put to the test by the ski-mountaineering division. Rigorous trials, carried out in sometimes extreme conditions, demonstrated their effectiveness where skin is pushed to its limits on a daily basis. The results speak for themselves: RGENtec® regenerative care is now part of ENSA professionals’ everyday routine.

For them, it’s a concrete solution to the realities of the field. Long training days, demanding alpine routes, and harsh weather conditions leave their mark. Now, they have innovative, science-driven solutions to quickly relieve and repair their skin.

But beyond effectiveness, this collaboration is above all about shared values. ENSA and RGENtec® share the same pursuit of excellence, respect for the mountains, and commitment to knowledge transmission. A natural alliance that reflects RGENtec®’s determination to stand alongside those shaping the future of the mountains.

And this first step in Chamonix is only the beginning…

Mid-July: RGENtec®, Official Supplier of the Climbing World Cup

Just a few weeks later, Chamonix was alive with the excitement of the Climbing World Cup, featuring both speed and lead events. And once again, RGENtec® was there — this time as an official supplier.

In a sport where every detail matters, and where the slightest pain can compromise a hold, preparing the hands is crucial. All competitors in the Chamonix stage received RGENtec® products ahead of time, helping to prevent irritation, burns, and blisters — and ensuring they could take on the routes in the best possible condition.

Behind these products lies a unique technology, patented in France: RGTA®. Designed to repair and protect skin under extreme stress, it perfectly meets the specific needs of climbers — whether elite athletes or passionate weekend enthusiasts.

Among those who have adopted the products is Belgian Champion Héloïse Doumont, 7th place finisher at the Innsbruck World Cup stage. But beyond the podiums, the brand also supported the many amateurs who came to share their passion and push their limits.

This marks another milestone for RGENtec®, further strengthening its presence in the climbing world… and the Chamonix summer is far from over.

Late August: RGENtec® and the Big Trail Running Event

In Chamonix, the end of summer carries a special flavor. At the close of August, the valley becomes the world’s epicenter of trail running, welcoming thousands of runners from across the globe. And once again, RGENtec® will be there — from August 25 to 29 — with a presence at the heart of the Ultra-Trail Village, along the banks of the Arve.

Throughout these intense days, the brand will meet with participants and enthusiasts alike. Advice, care, support… the idea is simple: to be there, on the ground, helping trail runners push through and reach the finish line.

RGENtec® won’t just be a spectator: the MCC (42 km, 2,350 m of elevation gain) will also see the brand take part, alongside athletes from the Adaptive Team, in a spirit of sharing and collective achievement.

Once again, it’s a concrete way to show how innovation can serve both performance and the joy of sport — even in the most demanding conditions.

One Philosophy, Three Highlights for RGENtec®

By setting up in Chamonix this summer, RGENtec® is following a clear path: supporting athletes where they live their passion, where they push their limits. Whether it’s the professionals of ENSA, the competitors of the Climbing World Cup, or the thousands of trail runners setting off at the end of August, the brand carries the same philosophy: providing simple, effective, and skin-friendly solutions so everyone can focus on what truly matters.

Because behind every RGENtec® product lies a strong conviction: skincare is not a detail — it’s an ally. And in Chamonix, more than ever, that ally becomes indispensable.
