Mountains, Nature, Culture are the three pillars of the Chamonix Photo Festival.
We are a festival that celebrates the beauty of nature through the lens of imagery.
For one weekend, Chamonix becomes the capital of nature photography and imagery.
What makes our festival truly unique is its setting in the Chamonix Valley, internationally renowned as the world capital of mountaineering. The festival therefore takes place both on stage and out in the field, surrounded by the spectacular landscapes of the Mont Blanc massif.
Designed on the model of and with the support of the Montier-en-Der Photo Festival,
From its first years the festival offers a full, immersive experience in the spirit of the moment. We are completely oriented toward nature.
Our goal, through photography and imagery, is for the Chamonix valley to be perceived not as a territory of feats or performances, but as a place for reflection and meetings around environmental issues.
Autumn is not chosen by chance. It is the most beautiful time for photography or simple contemplation. Offering a space and activities for tourists and locals who are not necessarily high-level athletes is essential. Furthermore, the Toussaint (All Saints’) school holidays offer few activities. The festival proposes to be the must-attend event.
