September 25 - 26 - 27 | Fauniera Refuge
Three days dedicated to the mountains, sport, and fun.
Following the success of the first edition, Snowder Fest returns: the Snowder-branded weekend that brings together outdoor enthusiasts, friends, and families in Valle Grana, in one of the most fascinating locations in the Cuneo Alps and at one of the most dynamic and accessible refuges in our valleys.
The 2026 edition will be dedicated to Castelmagno, the symbolic cheese of this region. The main theme of Saturday's party will be a big fun relay race, where mountain biking, climbing, and trail running come together in an original, fun challenge open to all athletes with a bit of competitive spirit.
The day will be accompanied by good food, live music, and a great desire to be together.
All in collaboration with LAST FRONTIER Heliskiing
