PALP Festival

PALP is an evolving festival that takes place from May to September in different venues, from private flats to historic castles, from a Roman amphitheatre to public gardens, from cultural spaces to the most remote mountain pastures, from villages to urban centres in the Valais. For the past 12 years, the PALP Festival has promised unique and atypical creations where music, local produce, nature and the performing arts are honoured.

Here are the PALP Festival events in the Val de Bagnes :

• Bis : Three musical creations on the Bisse des Ravines in Bruson, which was launched over a hundred years ago. In small groups, enjoy three successive concerts in the middle of eight-petalled mountain avens and hundred-year-old larches.

• Exposition Batinta : After three editions in the heart of the village, the PALP Village summer exhibition takes up residence on the Bisse des Ravines and invites you on a journey full of mechanical oddities. The watercourse is the guiding thread, the source of energy that gives life to spectacular, poetic and playful machines, triggered by a small wooden boat carried by the flow of the Bisse.

• Rocklette : At the top of the mountains, at the centre of the world, the Val de Bagnes and its natural stages welcome the finest in rock music in settings that are unique in the world, accessible only by hike, bike, cable car or bus.

• Electroclette : Electronic music meets raclette, unpretentiously, at the top of the Alps, with an all-day, all-mountain, all-madness variation: dancefloor with a view of the Grand Combin massif, dozens of cheeses, hundreds of splits and a groove that takes flight !
