Concerts at the foot of the Grand Combin, in the mountains of Ollomont
Combin en Musique is a travelling music festival that takes place every summer in the municipalities at the foot of the Grand Combin massif, in the upper Valpelline: Doues, Ollomont, Oyace, Valpelline, and Roisan, with the expansion to Allein and Bionaz starting from the 2026 edition. Organized by the association Combin en Arts APS with the artistic direction of Federico Bagnasco and Christian Thoma, the festival's distinctive feature is the relationship between music and the territory.
The small municipality of Ollomont, in the Aosta Valley, nestled at about 1,400 meters above sea level in an alpine basin far from mass tourism, is one of the recurring venues of the event. Here, concerts take place in the symbolic places of the village—the church, the squares, but also the trails and mountain pastures reachable on foot—transforming listening into an experience that combines music and walking.
The programming ranges from author jazz to baroque music, from contemporary violin to natural brass. The ArCombin – Violin Trails section, supported by the Ministry of Culture and SIAE, gives space to young violinists under 35, some of whom perform right here in Ollomont. All concerts are free admission.
Attending a Combin en Musique concert in Ollomont means discovering a little-known corner of the Aosta Valley, where artistic quality meets the silence of the mountains. The festival is supported by the Aosta Valley Region, the Ministry of Culture, and the participating municipalities, with Rai Radio3 Classica as a media partner.
The ninth edition of Combin en Musique confirms the festival's structure: free concerts of classical and experimental music distributed in the municipalities at the foot of the massif, including Ollomont. For 2026, the event expands to also include Allein and Bionaz.
The detailed program, with specific dates, artists, and venues for each concert, will be announced by the organization in the weeks preceding the summer on the official website.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition will be published on the official website combinenmusique.com in the weeks before the festival begins.
Based on previous editions, Ollomont usually hosts one or more concerts of the main festival and the ArCombin – Violin Trails section dedicated to young violinists under 35, as well as itinerant performances along the trails towards By and Acque Bianche.
All concerts are free admission. More information at combinenmusique.com.
Ollomont can be reached by car from Aosta by driving up the Valpelline (about 20 km). There are no direct train connections: the nearest station is in Aosta, from where you can continue by car or regional bus.
Concerts are free and open to the public. For concerts held along the trails, appropriate mountain attire and hiking shoes are recommended.
