Here are some events coming up next month in Chamonix;

Climbing World Cup 2018 will be stopping off in Chamonix, lets hope this sunny weather remains for the spectators! The lead and speed competitions will be held from the 11th-13th July at Place du Mont Blanc in Chamonix centre. This is not to be missed, a rare live spectacle of the world’s best climbers. You can check out the IFSC website for the schedule and if you cannot attend they will show a live streaming of the event.

The 9th edition of the superb CosmoJazz festival will be taking over Chamonix from the 21st until the 29th July. The live music concerts will be entirely free and dotted around many locations in the Chamonix and Trient Valley including the Prarion in Les Houches and the Planpraz at Le Brevent. There will again be some great live music events in the Park Couttet in the evenings.

Looking for the perfect spot to watch the Football World Cup? Many of the bars and restaurants are showing the matches, so be sure to visit the Maisons des Artistes, Beckett and Wilde, the Jekyll and of course Bar’dup!

Mountain guides, professional athletes and mountain enthusiasts will join together for the Arc’teryx Alpine Academy. From the 5th until the 8th July, the 7th edition of the Academy will be presenting some great courses. The clinics are almost sold out, so be sure to register as soon as possible. Otherwise we shall see you next year!

This summer is already shaping up to be a hot and dry one but should the rain arrive, the Cinema Vox is a perfect solution for a wet afternoon! The cinema, located in the centre of Chamonix will have the latest films in both French and English.
