About Apolide Drops Rueglio
Apolide Drops debuts in the Bosco Sonoro of Rueglio
In 2026, the Apolide Drops festival arrives for the first time in the Bosco Sonoro Diffuso, a location nestled in the woods at 778 meters above sea level between the municipalities of Rueglio and Valchiusa, in the Province of Turin. It is one of the most evocative stages of the entire program: a place that cannot be reached by car, but only on foot, by walking the new Sentiero della Poiana, the path that connects the dirt road climbing from Rueglio toward the Rifugio Bossola up to the Roussì ridge, where the natural megaphone of the Bosco Sonoro is located.
A zero-impact festival in the Canavese
Apolide Drops is the "satellite format" of the Apolide Festival, established in 2022 and organized by the To Locals ETS association. Its philosophy is one of zero-impact culture, capable of inhabiting nature without consuming it, bringing music out of conventional venues and through the mountains, villages, and castles of the Canavese. The festival is divided into three strands: Aria (high-altitude events in woods and mountains), Terra (initiatives in local villages), and Scena (theater as a space for civic debate). The Bosco Sonoro stage fully belongs to the Aria spirit, inviting artists and the public to breathe in the mountains.
Music and hiking
The day is not just a concert: it is a slow, immersive experience. The public reaches the venue via a guided hike, accompanied by the Consorzio Forestale del Canavese and supported by the GAL Valli del Canavese, along a path that crosses the woods of Valchiusa. Once arrived, the acoustic set takes place outdoors, in the silence of the mountains, where voices and instruments dialogue with the landscape. Surrounding the music, food and wine stands from the Operatori Turistici Valle Soana and the Giovani Vignaioli Canavesani, in collaboration with the Consorzio Turistico del Canavese, showcase the flavors of the territory.
Why it's worth the trip
Rueglio is a small municipality in the Valchiusa that, thanks to Apolide Drops, becomes for one day the gateway to a lesser-known natural landscape of the Canavese. The Bosco Sonoro stage is the perfect opportunity to discover a corner of the Alpine Piedmont far from the major tourist circuits, walking along a newly inaugurated trail and experiencing a cultural event that celebrates local communities, forest biodiversity, and environmental sustainability. More than just a concert, it is a collective ritual between culture and nature.
