We are pleased to announce that the 13th Megève International Jumping event will take place from Saturday, July 6th, to Sunday, July 14th, 2024.

The summer of 2024 will be marked by the Olympic Games which have reshuffled the schedule of sporting events. Therefore, we have had to revise our program and move forward with the 13th Jumping.

A national competition will welcome French clubs, amateurs, and professionals on Saturday, July 6th, and Sunday, July 7th. Monday, July 8th, will be a day of rest and site setup for the international competition. Starting Tuesday, July 9th, we will welcome international riders and horses and animate the day with the discovery of other equestrian disciplines. Then, from Wednesday, July 10th, to Sunday, July 14th, it's time for competition with the CSI*** and * events.

Since its inception, our competition has always aimed to bring people together. Horse sports enthusiasts, of course, but not only. The free admission to the event allows everyone to discover our sport and our passion, with a lovely camaraderie in the stands, which are also back, around the champions' exploits.

Thanks to the commitment of all, communities, partners, and of course our precious volunteers, the Megève International Jumping will once again spare no effort to offer the best conditions to all stakeholders, professional and amateur riders, horses, grooms, officials, and the most beautiful spectacle to all spectators.

This year again, we will put all our heart and energy into ensuring that this event maintains the qualities that have forged its reputation: a high-level sporting competition with a festive spirit, a magical place open to all, and a friendly and popular atmosphere.

A very special soul, which is the symbol of our identity but also the guiding thread of the Megève International Jumping.

A fervor that will undoubtedly make a stop in the heart of the village of Megève, with over 30,000 visitors expected around the jumping arena during the competition, set at the foot of the mountains, with Mont Blanc as a witness.

THE EVENT

Widely acclaimed to be one of the most appreciated French winter resorts Megève is also a very popular summer destination. And if the summer events calendar fills out a little more each year, the Megève International Show Jumping has managed to establish itself, without pretension, as the highlight of the season.

Charmed and captivated by this equestrian world and the friendly and federating atmosphere, it is indeed the whole village that lives to the rhythm of the competitions and events for six days.

One of the keys to success for this major event that brings together over 500 horses and 350 riders of twenty or so different nationalities, from promising young amateurs to the most renowned professional title holders, such as

Nick Skelton, Laura Kraut, Natale Chiaudani, Carlos Lopez, Michel Robert and Simon Delestre, but also a generation of young champions in the image of Alexandra Paillot (FR), Julien Gonin (FR), Adrienne Strenlicht (US), Alexandre Fontanelle (FR) and Cyril Bouvard (FR).

However, to acquire this utopian status and gain the recognition of its peers in such a short time, the Show Jumping event also had to captivate and make itself attractive to a far-reaching audience.

Free admission, a magnificent and immaculate decor, festive ambiance and entertainment: a formula crowned with success as more than 25,000 visitors attend the event each year.

Megève, a historic Alpine village that, despite developing quality tourism, has managed to retain a strong identity, the core of its old world charm today.

Sport and authenticity go hand in hand to the delight of an International clientele. In the heart of the Alps our village has managed to affirm the winning trilogy of its core strengths: sport, culture and tradition.

By virtue of its many facilities and amenities, Megève can offer you even more! Few other Alpine resorts are able to boast a rich heritage of 445 km of ski slopes, 150 km of hiking trails, an 18-hole golf course, two ice rinks, a curling sheet, two swimming pools, a riding centre, an altitude airfield, a Multi-media library, restaurants cited in gastronomic guidebooks, and numerous Spas….

Traditional farmhouses and wooden chalets sit harmoniously side by side, both welcoming and respectful of our heritage.

The cobbled village streets are lively, welcoming and full of surprises that invite the passer-by: designer boutiques, antique shops, jewellers’ and art galleries vary the pleasures of shopping. The picturesque village square, that lies between the Church and the Town Hall is renowned for its atmosphere. Megève has retained all the charms of a village that is simply out of the ordinary and whose luxury is its authenticity.
