Barioz Festival
The Fête du Barioz (patois for barrier) is the traditional festival
of Pralognan-la-Vanoise’s oldest district! A not-to-be-missed
organised by the Pralognan-la-Vanoise Festival Committee.
Vanoise.
Highlights: tradition and conviviality!
– Parade through the streets of Pralognan-la-Vanoise / History
The parade evokes the life of yesteryear to the rhythm of the seasons. A succession of decorated floats evoke life in the mountain pastures, the birth of mountaineering and winter tourism. There’s something for everyone!
– Activities around traditions, place du Barioz / Folklore
Dances, music and folk groups (Les Frontières, Cocktail des montagne, L’Écho des Alpes, Les Citharins, Philippe Fournier), demonstrations of ancestral know-how (cheese making), craft market, refreshment bar, barbecue and sale of bugnes on place.

An invitation to taste the farmers’ soup, which has been simmering since the morning. First come, first served! An evening of dancing and music.
