Music that reaches the mountains: the Musicastelle concert at Lago Gover in Gressoney-Saint-Jean
Musicastelle Outdoor is the festival that brings auteur music to the most beautiful corners of the Aosta Valley, accessible only on foot. In Gressoney-Saint-Jean, at the foot of Monte Rosa, the stage is Lago Gover, at an altitude of 1,400 metres, in a natural amphitheatre of water, woods, and clearings.
The beauty of Musicastelle is precisely the journey to get there: a walk of about 35 minutes, along a 2.6 km path with a 125-metre elevation gain, which skirts the lake and crosses the woods. The show, therefore, begins during the walk, amidst the silence of the mountains and the anticipation of the music.
Organised by the Aosta Valley Regional Tourism Office, Musicastelle Outdoor offers a series of free concerts every summer in various locations in the region, from Doues to Saint-Pierre, from Étroubles to Gressoney-Saint-Jean. A formula that combines music, nature, and slow tourism, and which has made the festival one of the most beloved events of the Aosta Valley summer. In autumn, the festival continues with Musicastelle Foliage events.
The concert at Lago Gover is an opportunity to discover Gressoney-Saint-Jean, the Walser cultural capital in the Lys Valley (Aosta Valley), and its high-altitude landscapes. Between one note and the next, your gaze drifts towards the peaks of the Monte Rosa massif.
