More than just a movie night
The Patagonia Snow Movie Nights 2026 are more than just a classic movie night. The Europe-wide tour combines short films about skiing and snowboarding with personal stories, conversations and encounters, turning each tour stop into a unique experience.
A carefully selected series of short films will be shown that tell the story of winter sports from different perspectives: From the quiet fascination of a perfectly pulled turn to the artisanal and artistic side of alpine culture to the physical and mental challenges of steep backcountry lines. The films focus less on top sporting performances and more on the question of what movement in the snow gives us - and why these places are worth protecting.
In conversation
A central element of the Snow Movie Nights are the changing special guests who characterize the evenings depending on the location. Patagonia ambassadors, filmmakers or local actors from the snow community are on site at individual tour stops. They provide insights into the making of the films, talk about their personal relationship with winter sports and share experiences from different regions and disciplines. The discussions will be complemented by partner organizations and local NGOs who will draw attention to the protection of Alpine habitats and the sustainable use of winter. In addition to the film screenings, the Snow Movie Nights offer space for exchange: filmmakers, Patagonia Ambassadors and partner organizations talk about their projects, personal approaches to winter sports and why the protection of winter natural spaces is more important today than ever.
