Summer Events & Activities
Update July 31, 2025 - MATCH DE REINES CANCELLED!
Following the outbreak of lumpy skin disease in Savoie and Haute-Savoie, we regret to inform you that the event Match de Reines (Hérens cows matches) has been cancelled.
This viral disease, although not transmitted to humans, represents a major risk for herds, both in health and economic terms. It is transmitted by certain flies and horseflies.
That's why, out of solidarity with the farmers already affected and out of respect for the breeders in our region, we have collectively chosen to act with caution and responsibility.
We understand the disappointment caused by this cancellation, but prudence is needed to protect the entire agricultural sector and guarantee the sustainability of our future events.
We thank you for your understanding and support. Many other convivial and festive events are planned for this summer in Saint Jean d'Arves, so keep an eye on the Summer 2025 Diary below!
Throughout the summer, we organize festive events and friendly activities for all ages. Workshops, shows, meetings and surprises punctuate local life and create real moments of sharing.
Discover all the events in the Vallée des Arves in the Events diary 2025!
For your information, the traditional Foire aux Bestiaux (cattle fair) on 17/08 is transformed this year into Saint Jean d'Arves feast. It's a real village festival, a chance to discover the skills and customs of our region. Musical atmosphere, conviviality, entertainment and memories guaranteed!
You'll also find the Vallée des Arves weekly entertainment program every Friday.

Trails in constant improvement
See a problem on our trails? Report it directly to Suricate! Suricate is an application and website https://sentinelles.sportsdenature.fr/ that enables trail users (hikers, mountain bikers, runners, etc.) to report any problems they come across while out on the trails. Trail managers (SIVAV and communes) are directly informed of the report and can therefore quickly implement the means to resolve the problem. Thank you for your cooperation!
What about guard dogs, also known as “patous”? Before your outing, don't forget to ask Map Patou about the presence of guard dogs on your itinerary.
