SUMMER EVENTS
Music Festivals
Cosmo Jazz Festival July
From 22 to 27 july 2024
Started in 2010 Chamonix is the home of ‘le Cosmo Jazz festival’. This festival was created by the visionary André Manoukian and is simply out of this world. The concert locations all use the local scenery as natural settings to increase the effect of the music and artists who are all also inspired by the settings. Listening to ‘Beirut’ by Ibrahim Malouf at the Lac Blanc or a grand Piano tinkling in the air at the top of Brévent or the soulful sound of Brazilian singers in Vallorcine are all some of my best memories. It honestly does not matter if you know the artists or not, the atmosphere is unpretentious and one of pure inspiration with the party carrying on late in the various bars of Cham. This is one of those that you tell friends about for years to come.
Festival des Heures d’Orgues
July to August
Each Summer the Festival des Heures d'orgue is the classical musical festival not to be missed in Chamonix. For the 27th year, the worlds most famous organists and other classical musicians come together to play their amazing instruments in the church of Saint-Michel.

One of the most famous and like no other.

A huge and daunting run through 3 countries: France, Switzerland and Italy all in one race! Over one weekend 2300 of the best runners in the world gather for this crazy challenge! We watch the start, enjoy a normal day, watch their headlights bounce around the hills at night, go to bed, wake up……. and they are still running! An incredible feat of endurance. Something to see, to admire, to support and applaud, and to be part of.
Other great events
La Fête des Guides de Chamonix
August
The Guides'll organize many suprises for you during this summer !
The guides of the ‘Compagnie des Guides’ relieve the stress of their incredibly hard job, by inviting everyone to share in an evening of fun and frivolity that each year tells a different story through a sound and light show that also shows off their skills with rappels, zip wire stunts and more on the Gaillands climbing wall culminating in some massive fireworks show and concert…– You will not see anything like it anywhere else. Great for kids and adults alike and supports a really good cause.
