From Bergamo

Transports en commun et stationnement

Transports en commun

Visitors arriving by train can use Lecco as a practical transport hub before continuing toward Barzio and the Valsassina area by local bus or taxi.

Because the festival runs late and activities are spread over a large rural site, visitors relying on public transport should check return services carefully.

Stationnement

The festival site provides space and designated arrangements for visitors arriving by car, while camping and camper facilities are also available during the event.

Camper area

The festival’s previous programme offered a dedicated camper pass, and the official festival information describes camper and camping areas as part of the visitor facilities.

Accessibilité

The festival has published an accessibility commitment and provides a contact route for visitors who encounter accessibility barriers or need assistance.

Because the event covers a very large outdoor area and includes arenas, covered structures and activity zones, accessibility can vary between individual areas.

Outdoor areas

Some areas may involve grass, gravel or uneven surfaces, particularly around the equestrian and outdoor activity zones.

Assistance

Visitors with specific accessibility needs should contact the organisers before attending so that current access arrangements can be confirmed.
