Xplore Alpes Festival

The Xplore Alpes Festival is a friendly event that celebrates the mountains and invites you to discover, in the heart of the Tarentaise: mountain films, outdoor activities and talks where enthusiasts and professionals can exchange ideas.

Two short films screening from 8.00 pm: THE GUARDIANS OF THE AIGUILLE At 3,842 metres, the Aiguille du Midi welcomes over 600,000 visitors a year, despite storms, frost and the cold. Through Pierre and the site’s teams, the film tells the story of those who keep this gateway to Mont Blanc open in a climate in turmoil.
