Apolide Drops — Musrai, Alpette

Apolide Drops in Musrai: The Canavese region resonates at altitude

Among the many scattered events of Apolide Drops, the stop in Musrai—a tiny hamlet in the municipality of Alpette in the Province of Turin—is one of the most evocative. At an altitude of 1,151 meters, at the foot of the Canavese mountains, the festival transforms a secluded corner of Piedmont into a natural stage where music, nature, and anthropology meet for a single day.

A zero-impact festival

Apolide Drops is the "satellite format" of the Apolide Festival, launched in 2022 and organized by the To Locals ETS association. Its philosophy is based on zero-impact culture, capable of inhabiting nature without consuming it. The project is divided into three pillars: Aria (high-altitude events), Terra (initiatives in villages), and Scena (theatre as a space for civic debate). The Musrai stop fully belongs to the "Aria" soul of the festival, bringing artists and the public to breathe in the mountain air.

What to experience in Alpette

The day is more than just a concert; it is a slow and immersive experience. It begins in the morning with Forest Bathing, the Japanese practice that invites you to reconnect with the woods, leading into the afternoon's main event with a prominent figure in Italian singer-songwriter music. Music is complemented by moments of reflection on the relationship between man, nature, and sound, alongside food and wine offerings curated by local Canavese producers.

Why it's worth the trip

Thanks to Apolide Drops, Alpette becomes a meeting point for music lovers, hikers, and the curious for a day. It is the perfect opportunity to discover a lesser-known corner of the Canavese, far from the main tourist circuits, while enjoying a cultural event that celebrates local communities and the alpine landscape of Piedmont.
