Comics and cartoons are an art form in their own right. In the world of mountaineering, Simon Charrière has become a leading figure. His famous calendar and albums featuring his character Zian have gained a wide audience. He has been a friend of the festival since its inception and this year, for the first time, he has agreed to run a workshop. Grab your pencils and let’s explore the art of graphic storytelling.

Simon Charrière
He has been drawing and skiing since childhood. After working as an architect, he chose to dedicate himself entirely to drawing. Today, his drawings adorn walls all over the world. He created this little graphic bird to tell stories to his nephews and let them experience extraordinary adventures.
