High Five Festival
3–4–5 October 2025
Every autumn, Annecy hosts a new edition of the High Five Festival. Launched in 2010, this event has established itself as a must-see in the world of skiing and outdoor cinema. For three days, the city will be buzzing with screenings celebrating skiing, snowboarding, freeriding and freestyle, as well as climbing, skateboarding and mountain biking, meetings with athletes, masterclasses and concerts, bringing together winter sports enthusiasts and visitors from all over Europe.
Beyond the event itself, the festival reflects the unique atmosphere that reigns in Annecy in the autumn. The lake and mountains provide a natural backdrop that filmmakers and athletes love to showcase, while the city is transformed into a place of exchange where different generations and horizons meet. This type of event helps to shape Annecy's image as a city that combines an exceptional natural setting with cultural dynamism.
Here, the seasons are experienced intensely, whether through festivals, sporting events or everyday life by the lake. This mix attracts new visitors every year, drawn by a lifestyle that is gaining increasing recognition.
It is with this same perspective that Annecy Sotheby's International Realty supports its clients, whether they are looking for a primary residence, a second home or an investment property. The agency showcases a real estate portfolio that reflects this alliance between authenticity and modernity, so characteristic of the Haute-Savoie region. The High Five Festival is a fine illustration of this: living in Annecy means enjoying a rare quality of life, nourished by nature as much as by cultural richness.
