Tango Festival
Vibrate to the rhythm of Argentine tango at Val Cenis
The Tango Festival pays tribute to Val Cenis 's distant Latin American "cousins" through the music and dance of these countries.
The Val Cenis Tango Festival has a real raison d'être in this region. Up until the middle of the 19th century, the Mont Cenis road was an important link between France and the Italian peninsula. For the inhabitants of Lanslebourg (one of the villages on Val Cenis), the pass provided a lively economic activity, with inns, stagecoaches and guides accompanying travellers over the pass in winter... But with the opening of the Modane rail tunnel, the activity declined. Hundreds of inhabitants decided to leave the region and emigrate to Argentina and Uruguay, in search of new opportunities.
The Festival de Tango celebrates this intimate, family and historical story.
For your enjoyment, we welcome renowned Maestros, orchestras and DJs, giving this event international stature and its rightful place among France's tango festivals.
Dance classes, tango aperitifs, shows and milongas, with the highlight of the week eagerly awaited by regulars: the "Milonga de las Nubes" - Milonga of the Clouds - on the Mont-Cenis pass at 2,100 m altitude.
