Highlights

Winter Fireworks Festival

It's not exactly the most environmentally friendly of festivals, but it’s definitely worth the 'oohing' and 'ahhing' like children, as excited spectators crane their necks skywards to watch the incredible fireworks displays in Courchevel.

The International Festival of Pyrotechnic Art first came to Courchevel in 2003 and with such a dramatic backdrop for these fireworks and music spectaculars, the competition has been held in Courchevel ever since.

The rules are really quite strict, with all competitors required to include a set piece of 1'15 to 1'30 minutes' duration without music, on a specific theme, with the whole show being between 14 and 16 minutes long.

Judges look at the overall impression of the display, the colours, shapes and purity of the fireworks used, the collaboration between music and fireworks, synchronisation, the use of space and the interpretation of the theme.

An event for young and old, absolutely not to be missed!
