Wood festival

From 6th to 8th of July

Les Gets, the “Land where Wood is King”, puts the spotlight on wood from its forests, its uses and the craftsmen who work with a range of fascinating and surprising events and exhibitions.

The “Bille de Bois” festival will be preceded by the “Journées Européennes de la
forêt et du bois de montagne” – an event bringing together people who work with,
in, and round the world of wood in a mountain environment: elected officials,
engineers, researchers, specialist firms etc.

The “Journées de la Forêt de Montagne” aim to promote a better awareness of the
many uses that mountain forests are put to and to enhance the image of wood as a
thoroughly modern material.
