Free and open to all, whether you're a seasoned shredder or a curious spectator, the three-day Winter Fest 2026 is a love letter to snowboarding and the wider boarding and the creative spirit that fuels them. Expect pop-up art galleries, film premieres, historic snowboard exhibitions, and electrifying DJ sets from the iconic Ed Banger label. The Tignespace skatepark will host live skate demos and a photography masterclass featuring three renowned photographers and four elite riders.
In parallel, the Winter Pro Test invites mountain professionals to trial the latest gear from top brands including Nitro, Burton, Salomon, DC, Rossignol, Jones and Yes. It’s a chance to preview new-season models in real snow conditions.
