Musicastelle Outdoor – Doues Concert
Author music at altitude opens the season in Champ-Mort
About Musicastelle Doues
Music Meets the Mountains
Musicastelle Outdoor is the festival promoted by the Valle d'Aosta Regional Tourism Office that offers concerts by Italian artists in naturally beautiful locations, reachable on foot with short hikes. Born in 2012, it is a unique format on the national scene: no traditional stages, but high-altitude meadows, alpine lakes, and clearings where music blends with the silence of the mountains.
The Event in Doues
In Doues, a small municipality in the Gran San Bernardo valley in the province of Aosta, the concert is held in the Champ-Mort area, at an altitude of approximately 1,280 metres at the foot of the Grand Combin. To reach the location, the audience undertakes a walk of about twenty minutes, an integral part of the experience: the concert rewards those who choose to walk up, immersing themselves in the alpine landscape.
A Free and Sustainable Experience
Like all Musicastelle events, the Doues date is also free admission upon reservation. Priority is given to those who book a stay in the festival locations via the official website; remaining spots are distributed on Eventbrite starting the week of the concert. Capacity limits and incentives for car-pooling protect safety, the quality of the experience, and the environment. A formula that combines music, slow tourism, and the enhancement of the Valle d'Aosta Region's territory.
