Burn Mountain Rock - is an annual 3 day Rock Music Festival and Biking Rally organised by SAMVA Motobike Club with huge assistance from the La Chapelle d'Abondance Tourist Office and loads of brilliant local sponsors.  Its our biggest annual event and this page has been set up to give you a flavour of this crazy annual event and hopefully get you to join us next year.

The Burn Mountain Rock festival runs from Friday to Sunday ... There is live rock music every day mid morning to midnight on Friday and Saturday building to a grand finale on Sunday afternoon which usually features our President in full flow!

Entry to the music Festival is free, and there is free on-site camping throughout the festival.

Bikers will find stands selling all manner of biking gear and accessories, and each day there are events to take part in (rally-discovery(treasure hunts and challenges), road book(a guided mass ride out), trials biking demos and plenty more fun activities and challenges for everyone to have a go!

On Sunday morning after the Bendiction de Motards (blessing of motorcycles and motorcyclists to bring us luck for another year) we organise one last mass ride out before returning to yet more brilliant food, live music and entertainment.
