The Valais Alpine Horn Festival in Salvan invites you to enjoy a unique day celebrating Alpine traditions and folklore. Spread throughout the whole of the municipality – from the Salle Vanintse to the church, via La Creusaz, Van d’en Bas and La Médettaz – the powerful and enchanting sounds of the Alpine horn will ring out in settings that are as authentic as they are spectacular. Set against a backdrop of mountain landscapes and local heritage, each venue will offer a distinctive atmosphere, showcasing an instrument that is emblematic of Valais culture.
A friendly event open to all, this day is an invitation to explore and share. The public is warmly invited to move about freely to attend the various concerts throughout the day, as they please. Combining music, traditions and socialising, this festival promises a vibrant immersion in the spirit of the Alps, a wonderful opportunity to (re)discover the richness of folklore and enjoy a pleasant time in a festive and authentic atmosphere.
