A dive into the Celtic world in the mountains of Valchiavenna
Spluga Celtica is the Celtic festival of Campodolcino, a municipality in the upper Valchiavenna in the province of Sondrio. It takes place in the Acquamerla area, in the evocative Val di Giüst, where the atmosphere of the Celtic and ancient world comes alive among the mountains for a few days.
The festival offers about thirty themed stands with crafts, products, and period settings. Gastronomy is a star, with mead, beer, and local specialties. The heart of the re-enactment are the Celtic camp and the Roman camp, animated by re-enactors who illustrate the customs, rituals, and daily life of those cultures.
The program includes workshops, activities with animal groups (including pony rides for the little ones), live folk music with an evening concert, and traditional dances. An immersive experience, suitable for families and enthusiasts, that combines historical education and fun.
Organized by the Valchiavenna Tourist Promotion Consortium with the support of the Municipality of Campodolcino and the Lombardy Region, Spluga Celtica enhances the territory of the upper valley in a cultural and experiential way. For those seeking a different adventure, a camping area is also available in a meadow near the Liro stream, a few meters from the parking lot.
The 2026 edition will re-propose the tried-and-tested formula of the Celtic festival: about thirty themed stands, gastronomy with mead, beer, and local products, the Celtic and Roman camp animated by re-enactors, workshops, activities with animal groups, folk music with an evening concert, and traditional dances, in the setting of Val di Giüst. Precise dates and detailed program will be communicated by the Valchiavenna Tourist Promotion Consortium in the preceding weeks.
The detailed program for the 2026 edition, with dates, times, concerts, and workshops, will be published by the Valchiavenna Tourist Promotion Consortium closer to the event. The usual structure includes: themed stands, Celtic and Roman encampments, gastronomy with mead and beer, workshops, activities with animals, folk music with an evening concert, and traditional dances.
