O.U.F.: When Urban Culture Takes Over the Mountains
O.U.F. — Outdoor Urban Festival is a bold concept born in 2024 in Valfréjus, a mountain resort in Haute-Maurienne Vanoise in Savoie. This summer festival aims to transpose urban disciplines into an alpine setting, creating an unprecedented encounter between street culture and mountain energy.
Urban Sports at Altitude
The heart of the festival beats to the rhythm of urban sports. For four days, the squares of Valfréjus — Place du Thabor, Place des Bergers, and the tourist office parking lot — transform into skate parks and performance spaces. Visitors can try their hand at skateboarding, BMX, breakdancing, freestyle football, double dutch, parkour, and slacklining in workshops led by professionals. A wooden bike park with fun modules is available for all ages, with balance bikes, bikes, and helmets provided.
Outdoor Street Art
The festival showcases street art with creative graffiti workshops led by a professional artist with over fifteen years of experience. Participants learn the basics of spray art in a supportive and creative environment. In parallel, live painting sessions feature artists like Valentin Walker creating works in real-time, blending visual energy, improvisation, and instant creation. The murals created during the festival remain on the resort's walls, forming a living artistic heritage.
Music and Festive Atmosphere
The festival evenings are enlivened by DJ sets that conclude each day in a festive and relaxed atmosphere. DJ WhyGees (Yoann Gourovitch) offers impactful remixes and edits of international hits, getting the crowd dancing under the mountain stars. Music accompanies the entire festival, from the day's workshops to the convivial evenings.
Valfréjus: A Natural Playground
Valfréjus is a family-friendly mountain resort located in Haute-Maurienne Vanoise, near the Fréjus tunnel. Its compact architecture and well-designed squares make it an ideal setting for an urban festival at altitude. In summer, the resort offers numerous outdoor activities — hiking, mountain biking, climbing — which naturally complement the festival's offerings.
