Snow sports events Annecy

It's not a newcomer, having been launched in 2010, but it's undoubtedly the latest festival to make its mark in a town that also looks to the mountains. With over 40,000 festival-goers at its last edition, the High Five Festival happily mixes skiing, cinema and partying (because a festival without concerts isn't cool). So, head to the lakeside "village" to watch and take part in snow sports demos, before settling into an open-air deckchair to watch one of the snow sports films on the big screen. Stands with the biggest brands and new products, entertainment... A festival for riders of all kinds.
