After months of preparation, the CosmoJazz Festival is back! For this first day, we head up to the mountains for an exceptional concert facing Mont-Blanc, before returning to the valley to keep the evening going with two unique events.
Rendez-vous in altitude
FLOATING
To open this new edition, the CosmoJazz Festival welcomes Floating, a creation bringing together some of the leading figures in contemporary jazz. Led by saxophonist Émile Parisien, the quartet weaves music that is free, luminous and deeply inspired. A suspended concert, carried by improvisation and emotion, in one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Chamonix valley.
Access: Planpraz (2,000 m)
Access via the Planpraz gondola lift (paid lift access).
