Fete des Guides

What to do
About

Chamonix honours and celebrates the excellent mountain guides every year.

A ceremony in the town centre welcomes new guides and remembers lost ones. The event culminates with a party at Lake Lac de Gaillands, which begins with face painting and games for children and continues late into the night with live music, beer tents, food vendors, and a large firework display.When: August
