Laughter at 380m above the ground in Paradiski

The Paradiski region that combines La Plagne and Les Arcs in the French Alps is set to 'elevate' alpine entertainment—literally—with the launch of the world's highest stand-up show this February.
From 14–28 February 2026, the Paradiski Comedy Club will transform the iconic Vanoise Express cable car that links the ski domains of La Plagne and Les Arcs into a soaring stage suspended 380 metres above the valley floor, offering skiers and holidaymakers a comic interlude mid-air.
In a collaboration with Paris's Métro Comedy Club—renowned for its pop-up performances in the city's underground trains—Paradiski is bringing urban humour to the mountains. During the four-minute cable car crossing between Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne, passengers will be treated to intimate, bilingual stand-up sets from a rotating cast of professional comedians.
Performances will run daily (excluding Saturdays) from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm, with each journey offering a fresh mix of French and English-language routines tailored to the alpine setting.
"We're still in a familiar transport environment—whether it's the Métro or a cable car—and humour is universal," said SIN, a performer and member of the Métro Comedy Club. "We'll draw inspiration from the ski area and the mountains to craft jokes that resonate with Paradiskiers. The goal is to create a moment that's both unique and unforgettable."
