art3f Haute-Savoie 2026

art3f Haute-Savoie 2026 takes place at Rochexpo, 59 Rue des Centaures, 74800 La Roche-sur-Foron. The venue is in La Roche-sur-Foron, in Haute-Savoie, France.

La Roche-sur-Foron is located between Geneva, Annecy and the Alpine region, making it accessible by car and regional transport. Visitors coming from Switzerland may find Geneva a practical international gateway.

Travellers should check current train and road connections before visiting, especially if arriving from Geneva, Annecy, Lyon or other regional centres.

Because the fair runs over a weekend, visitors travelling by car should allow time for parking and local traffic around Rochexpo.

Accommodation

La Roche-sur-Foron is the most convenient base for visitors who want to stay close to Rochexpo and attend the fair without long transfers.

Annecy is a strong option for cultural travellers who want a more scenic stay, with lake views, restaurants, old-town atmosphere and access to the wider Haute-Savoie region.

Geneva can work well for international visitors, especially those flying in or combining the fair with business, museums or Swiss cultural routes.

Visitors looking for a more Alpine experience can consider nearby towns in Haute-Savoie, depending on transport plans and whether they want to combine the fair with mountain or lake travel.

Because October is outside the peak summer season but still attractive for regional travel, booking ahead is recommended.

Plan your visit around the opening hours. Friday runs from 4 PM to 11 PM, Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 7 PM.

Consider attending on Friday evening if you want a more social atmosphere. The vernissage evening is open to all visitors, according to the Eventbrite listing.

Buy tickets online if possible. The official art3f Haute-Savoie page lists presale tickets at €7 plus fees and standard tickets at €10 plus fees, with ticketing available online and at the fair entrance.

Bring curiosity rather than a fixed plan. art3f works best when visitors allow themselves to discover artists, compare styles, and follow emotional response as much as market logic.

If visiting with family, note that accompanied minors can enter free of charge.
