On 21 January 2016, Google released a video entitled: 'Explore Mont Blanc with Kilian Jornet, Ueli Steck, Candide Thovex, and Google Maps' to promote the Street View of Mont Blanc in Google Maps. In the first 4 months it was viewed over 2.6 million times. Google describes the list of individuals who took part in the project as "legendary adventurers". Candide's role in the project was to help build a jump on top of the Mont Blanc and then perform tricks off of it. It is a feat that French travel and photo magazine GEO says on their website is "unprecedented". In an interview posted on the website of French lifestyle magazine Paris Match, Candide said it was "the hardest jump of my life". On its website, the top French ski magazine Skieur called it "another first for Candide Thovex" and described him as a "true ambassador of skiing". On the Powder magazine website the article covering the event called Candide a "skiing legend".
