OUR CHOCOLATES ARE TRAVELING TO LAPLAND… a secret mission to negotiate the 2026 gifts with SANTA CLAUS: a 100 km pulk crossing from Nikkaluokta (Sweden) to the start of the Skjomen fjord. Then by kayak to reach Narvik (Norway), with: nova_montagne, laetitia_mountainleader

On the Vertical race closing the World Cup season, Aurélien grabs a superb 2nd place behind Rémi Bonnet, and on the legendary Patrouille des Glaciers 2026, Aurélien and his teammates Rémi Bonnet and Martin Anthamatten finish in second position with a great time of 5h48. 


So now we're not sure whether we should deprive Rémi Bonnet of chocolate and give more to Aurélien and Martin, or deprive everyone of chocolate until they win the Patrouille…

Find our chocolates at the Grande Boucherie du Molard, an institution in Geneva since 1921, and at the Schilliger Garden Center, which has likewise been an institution for three generations in Gland and Plan-les-Ouates. Uber Eats back in 1921 in the centre of Geneva? Well yes, home deliveries by bicycle in city centres are nothing new! 



PS: In French-speaking Switzerland, a "Molard" also refers to a low hill or a rounded summit :)

Hard to say we didn't spot Elise Farquet leaping about like a young Alpine goat :) accompanied by the cantonal representatives Jean-Philippe Lonfat and Pierre-Yves Deleze, all there to cheer on the young patrol members! Patrollers assisted by Emily Vaudan and Laurent Vaucher, all under the leadership of the event's boss Pierre-Yves Gay and his team.

We are honored to collaborate with limited editions of customized sleeves over chocolates with La Réserve, a 5-stars hotel and spa in Geneva, for « La journée de la femme », and with Agence Eugster in Verbier for celebrating their 60 years in business !

The Vertical Kilometer is a thousand meters of elevation gain in the form of a time trial. With a distance of 1,920 meters, the Fully Vertical Kilometer is the fastest in the world. Its average gradient exceeds 50%.

For the 2025 event, Rémi Bonnet won the men's race, breaking the vertical kilometer record ahead of Italy's Henri Aymonod and Switzerland's Aurélien Gay du Levron. In the women's race, France's Axelle Gachet Morallet won ahead of Switzerland's Victoria Kreuzer and Alessandra Schmid.

We are honored that our chocolates have been chosen as gifts for the participants of the Valaisans Sports Merits ceremony – Walliser Sportverdienste – which takes place on April 30, 2025, at the Théâtre La Poste in Visp. The chocolates will be presented in up-cycled wooden boxes made by the Fovahm workshop in Martigny and with sleeves whose creative printed designs were thought up and developed by agency Forme in Sion (Jeremy Formaz, Creative Director). The athletes nominated this year are Kyshawn George, the third Swiss to play in the NBA; Nico Hischier, pillar of the Devils in the NHL; Naomi Luyet, voted best player in the Super League; Loïc Meillard, third in the overall World Cup rankings; and Camille Rast, author of an exemplary season in the World Cup. A big thank you to Grégoire Jirillo, Chief of the Service des Sports, Canton du Valais; Ralf Kreuzer; Canal9, and Patrick Deletroz of Sportpress.

A shower of medals for Switzerland during the Ski Mountaineering World Championships in Morgins:

Marianne Fatton was crowned sprint world champion. Jon Kistler had a magnificent race and won the elite bronze medal ahead of Arno Lietha (4th) and Thomas Bussard (5th). This elite podium was accompanied by a U23 world champion title for Kistler, followed by Thomas Bussard, who won the silver medal in the U3 category. Aurélien Gay placed third place in the vertical race ranking.


Rémi Bonnet won the individual world champion title by more than two minutes. In the team race, the pair of Aurélien Gay and Rémi Bonnet finished in a superb second place. 
Thank you to the Morgins Skimo Club, Yannick Ecoeur, and Sarah for the collaboration with a 50% cacao and hazelnut milk chocolate.

Should there be more or fewer delicious toppings on the chocolates? That’s the eternal question. Even those who would like fewer end up adding more!


Three days of pure bliss on a bike and ski trip in Val de Bagnes friends Laetitia Lam, Elodie Simonin and Elisa. An eco-friendly trip using only the strength of your thighs:

Train: Geneva – Le Châble

Bike + Ski: Le Châble – Cabane Brunet (2,103 m)

Ski + Bike: Cabane Brunet-Mont Rogneux (3,082 m) – Prarreyer village

Bike + Ski + Bike: Prarreyer – Chargerat Six Blanc – Le Châble

Train: Return home

= 4,150 m of cumulative elevation gain and loss in both sports for this first experience, one night in a cabin and another in the village, a Ça Joue chocolates sponsor and warm encounters, and a pace that was both sporty and contemplative. They celebrated the seasonal transition with the buds and spring snow between passes, summits, forests and cappuccino breaks in the small village cafes of this magnificent region. Managing equipment transitions without forgetting anything, balancing bikes and taking care of skis, They loved playing with the terrain, adapting and blending into the mountain! 

Add talent to dark chocolate with goji berries and you get second overall and a victory in Val Thorens for your second year on the Freeride World Tour. Pretty cool.
Ça Joue for Martin Bender!

Nice custom wooden gift boxes with chocolates for Frédéric Bourban and Julien Fournier of Eco Forêt, Nendaz’ Triage Forestier, led to some more chocolates for Esprit Nomade, a night out with Stéphanie Nendaz of Nova Montagne, a walk with Aurélie Fierz’ yaks and a dinner in a yurt in la Fouly!

Visit Aurélie Fierz and Thomas Gabioud in summertime at the Alpage d’Emaney.


Ça Joue chocolates were showcased at the ISM Chocolate & Sweets trade show in Cologne, Germany, representing Valais chocolate craft! We were honored by a visit from Erik Jakob, Swiss General Consul, accompanied by Beat Vonlanthen, Director of Chocosuisse, and Valentin Diethelm of Switzerland Global Enterprise. 



PS: Nice antique workbench and table upcycled into a cool chocolate display by FD Bois.



It’s always incredible to see our orders shipped – but we are always a little worried about whether they will arrive safely. Swiss Post in Le Châble, with its new sorting centre in Vétroz, is doing a great job. Thank you!
