A weekend of sport and adventure between Brusson and Ayas, at the foot of Monte Rosa
The Monterosa Outdoor Festival is the great mountain sport celebration that, every June, enlivens the municipalities of Brusson and Ayas, in Val d'Ayas (Province of Aosta), at the foot of the Monte Rosa massif. Born from the experience of the historic Monterosa Prestige race, the festival broadens its horizons by transforming the entire valley into an open-air stage.
The program intertwines the most diverse aspects of the mountains: from mountain biking to trail running, from yoga to climbing, up to hiking and slow walks. An offering designed for all levels, from the athlete seeking adrenaline to the visitor who wishes to discover nature at a gentler pace.
The sporting soul of the weekend is the Monterosa Prestige, the historic MTB ultramarathon organized over two routes — the Marathon and Granfondo courses — which challenges bikers amidst the spectacular landscapes of Val d'Ayas.
In the center of Brusson, the festival village comes to life with exhibitor stands, test drives of bicycles and outdoor equipment. There are also convivial moments: evenings with testimonials and athletes, entertainment, music, and food and wine stops at local dairies, breweries, and vineyards, combining sport with the discovery of the territory.
The Monterosa Outdoor Festival 2026 takes place from Saturday, June 20 to Monday, June 22 between Brusson and Ayas, in Val d'Ayas, at the foot of Monte Rosa. The festival offers a weekend of sport and adventure for all levels, with the Monterosa Prestige as the absolute protagonist.
