The 2027 New Horizons in Quantum Gravity school will take place at the beautiful École de Physique des Houches in France. Founded by Cécile DeWitt-Morette in the early 1950s, this institution has become a prestigious landmark in theoretical physics, with a rich tradition reflected in the plaques commemorating Nobel Prize winners and Fields Medallists displayed on the wooden columns of the main chalet.
Nestled among secluded alpine conifer forests, the Les Houches School of Physics stands on the wooded slopes above Les Chavants, offering sweeping views of the Mont Blanc range. In this inspiring setting, participants will be able to enjoy hiking trails through the surrounding forests, borrow mountain bikes to explore the Chamonix valley, take the Bellevue cableway, or venture even higher into the mountains.
