The Edelweiss Festival

A mountain folk festival that takes to the streets of Bourg Saint Maurice for a summer's day of authenticity and tradition.

The Fêtes de l'Edelweiss brings together different mountain folk groups to delight the ears and the eyes with their colourful traditional costumes. You'll be invited to discover local and more distant cultures and traditions through song, dance, entertainment and encounters.
