What could be more natural in a region where forests cover 36% of the Hautes-Alpes than for professionals in the timber industry to forge a strong bond with them? The enthusiasm for wood shows no sign of waning over time; it is making a strong comeback in the fields of construction, energy, the environment, craftsmanship and art.

For all these reasons, an event has been dedicated to it, celebrating nature, flora, traditional trades and the expertise of craftspeople, artists, loggers and professionals.

A summer weekend brimming with activities. The Wood Festival is Serre Chevalier’s quirky, artisanal event.

Craft exhibitions, sculpture displays, woodcutting demonstrations, children’s activities, horse-drawn timber hauling, woodcarving, forestry demonstrations, workshops and axe throwing.

Discover this noble material from every angle.
