On the theme of Mechanical Music and Image.
Once again this year , the Village streets of Les Gets will resound with the sounds of barrel
organs. With shows, concerts, exhibitions and events, the festival retraces the high
points of changes in image and sound: barrel organs with their magic lanterns,
living pictures, phonographs, mechanical musical instruments accompanying
silent films and then used in talking films.
An original way of discovering Mechanical Music!!!

Unique in its kind, this event crosses 3 countries on foot (France, Italy and Switzerland), covers 158 kilometres and 8,500 metres climb in one fell swoop. A race with a time limit of 45 hours, the current held record being 21 hours and 6 minutes.
The enthusiasm for this challenge has led to the creation of a second race, from Courmayeur in Italy to Champex in Switzerland and on to Chamonix - a mere 86 kilometres, 4500 metres climb with a time limit of 24 hours. 1500 participants are expected for this race.
