Combin en Musique in Ollomont

A festival born from the bond between music and territory

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 makes the relationship between music and territory its distinctive feature.

Ollomont, a historic stop for the festival

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 pastures reachable on foot—transforming listening into an experience that combines music and walking.

Classical music and experimentation

The programming ranges from author jazz to baroque music, from contemporary violin to natural brass instruments. The ArCombin – Violin Trails section, supported by the Ministry of Culture and SIAE, gives space to young violinists under 35, some of whom perform in Ollomont. All concerts are free admission.

A unique experience in Valpelline

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.
