Chamonix Chalet news

Every year, this festival celebrates the mountain guides of Chamonix.

This year it’s from the 12th to the 15th August, with the big night of music, son et lumiere and fireworks at the Gaillands on the 14th. It’s loads of fun with a great atmosphere, and for a very good cause - the Guides Emergency Fund - so if you’re in Chamonix try and make it along. There are also more traditional ceremonies like the blessing of the ropes and ice-axes if you prefer, but it’s the show on the cliffs of the Gaillands that’s generally the scene-stealer.
