The Fête des Guides, established in 1924, holds great significance as it serves to support the Relief Fund. Over the years, it has grown into an iconic event in the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley, attracting locals and visitors alike.

From 10 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., there will be a range of free entertainment options to enjoy. Test your climbing skills on two climbing walls, experience the thrill of the zip line, and challenge your balance on the slackline. L’Homme (fanfare Duo) will provide delightful musical entertainment throughout the day, creating a lively atmosphere. To satisfy your cravings, a bar and catering services will be available. Don’t forget to explore the merchandise on offer as well.

At 5:30 p.m., a traditional ceremony will take place, symbolizing the deep connection to the guides. The event will include a call for the guides, a march to the cemetery, and a moving choir performance by the Compagnie des Guides.

To continue the spirit of camaraderie, there will be a “Toast of Friendship” from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. This provides a wonderful opportunity to socialize and share a toast in a warm and welcoming ambience.

NOTE : The FREE train to the Ball will depart at 19.27 p.m
