Chamonix Adventure Festival

Chamonix, at the heart of the French Alps, is the ultimate playground. With peaks of over 4000 metres rising spectacularly from the valley floor, the town is nestled beneath granite spires, hanging glaciers, and is home to an unrivalled history of adventure.

Chamonix Adventure Festival brings together adventurers, explorers, athletes and enthusiasts from near and far, to share tales and showcase their talents through film, photography, art and exciting displays. Much more than another spectator event, the festival features a series of film and photography courses taught by our team of experts, offering the chance to get involved and gain valuable skills and experience in the world of adventure image making. The Festival art exhibition will represent a handful of local emerging artists who will share their paintings, photos and more. The artists will be at exhibit sites throughout the festival to share their inspirations and realisations.
