For more than 33 years, the Passy show has welcomed great guides (Roger FRISON-ROCHE – Guido MAGUIONE – Bernard AMY- François LABANDE, Anselme BAUD, Benoît CHAMOUX, Jean-Christophe LAFAILLE, Pierre BEGHIN), men of adventure (LIVANOS, CAUCHY, BLANCHARD), exceptional women (Christine JANIN, Laurence de la FERRIERE, Catherine DESTIVELLE, Martine ROLLAND), and even true myths such as Ella MAILLARD for her impressive career or Maurice HERZOG.
2024 is the 34th anniversary of the Passy Mountain Book Fair and the guarantee of the longevity of a great adventure. It’s a sign of the vitality of Passy, which is asserting itself as the home of art and culture in the Mont Blanc region. It’s proof of the motivation of a team of volunteers who have worked tirelessly to give books and the mountains their rightful place: in the sun, facing Mont Blanc!
From 9 to 11 August 2024, the Aosta Valley will be sponsoring the 34th edition of the Passy International Mountain Book Fair. The year 2024 promises to be an exciting one, with the evocation of the emblematic figures of mountaineering. It promises to reveal the intimate side of those who love the mountains. Great witnesses make us aware of the tragedy that strikes mountaineers in countries on fire. Beyond the summits, the written word and drawings, novels, stories, essays and also comic strips, whose Grand Prix will be awarded on 8 August, are the vehicles for knowledge and reflection.
