CanthroFur is a French furry convention held over a long January weekend in the Auvergne mountains near Clermont-Ferrand. Organized by the non-profit association SancyFur, it stands out for pairing the convention with a day at a nearby ski resort and for leaning into the region's mountain gastronomy.
CanthroFur's next edition runs January 14-18, 2027 under the theme "Evening of Mysteries," continuing its mid-January slot at VTF Le Domaine des Puys, a holiday village in Saint-Sauves-d'Auvergne. Registration is already open, with 182 attendees signed up as of June 2026; watch the official site for guest, charity, and pricing announcements.
CanthroFur is a genuinely distinctive con. Rather than a hotel ballroom, it takes over a holiday village high in the Auvergne, and it builds a full ski-resort day into the program, a combination few furry conventions anywhere can match. The organizers also play up the local table: regional cheeses, terrines, and honey from nearby producers turn up across the weekend. It's a small, scenic, mountain-flavored event with a strong sense of place, ideal for attendees who want their con wrapped in a winter-getaway atmosphere.
Attendance, plus the Friday and Saturday shuttles to the ski resort
Adds a unique collector item, sold as a 40 euro supplement
Adds the Classic Sponsor goodies plus a collector jacket, sold as a 100 euro supplement
The 110 ticket does NOT include a bed or meals. Accommodation is a separate 298 euro for full board from Thursday 14 to Monday 18 January, tourist tax included, so a residential attendee pays 408 before any sponsorship. Arriving on the Wednesday or leaving on the Tuesday costs 77 each, also full board. The two sponsor levels are sold as 40 and 100 euro SUPPLEMENTS on the base ticket rather than as replacement prices; the totals are above, and a Classic Sponsor can upgrade to Sponsor+ later for 60 rather than the 60 difference implied by the supplements. Payment is due within 14 days of a registration being validated. This is the only con in this batch whose price page is year-stamped in its own URL, which is why 2027 figures could be captured this far ahead.
By air: The nearest airport is Clermont-Ferrand Auvergne (CFE); larger hubs at Lyon (LYS) are within driving range for international arrivals.
By car: Saint-Sauves-d'Auvergne sits in the mountains west of Clermont-Ferrand, near Mont-Dore. A car is the most practical way to reach the holiday village and to make the most of the ski-resort day.
By transit: Rail and coach connections serve Clermont-Ferrand and the Mont-Dore area; check the official site for organized transport or carpool arrangements near the date.
Curated stays near VTF Le Domaine des Puys, Saint-Sauves-d'Auvergne, France.
CanthroFur is hosted at VTF Le Domaine des Puys, a holiday village in Saint-Sauves-d'Auvergne, so lodging is on-site as part of the convention rather than a separate hotel block. Because the event is built around its mountain venue and ski day, staying within the village is the standard way to attend. Confirm the accommodation options from the official site when registration opens.
