Accomodation
Camping, Hotel e B&BYou can access the campsite to settle in with the tent or camper every day from Tuesday to Sunday from 07:00 to 01:30
In the days before the festival the toilets and showers are not accessible, there is no surveillance service, and there is also the last step of the mosquito disinfestation.
During the festival the entire area will be manned by surveillance personnel who will check the regular and orderly access of the public.
The use of the campsite is free for members of the workshops. For those who choose to enter the festival only in the evenings, a fixed contribution of 20 euros per person is required. All the users of the camping will be given a tag that must be displayed in a visible way in the camper or on the tent.
Because of the state of maximum danger for forest fires, from this year a municipal resolution prohibits, within the natural park, to turn on any type of fire. It is also forbidden to use camping stoves or gas cartridges.
In order to assure a peaceful stay for all, it is not permitted to play instruments or to sing within the camping areas within 24 hours of the day. You are free to do it in the thousands of other ‘corners of nature’ that Vialfrè has to offer.
TENTS
There are two areas where you can camp with your own tent. Cars can enter the campsite just for load and unload the luggage; for the rest of the time they have to stop in the parking lot.
CAMPER
There are big spaces, not far from the tents area, where it is possible to stay with campers, vans and caravans. There are no power outlets or water supply for parked vehicles. Available service area.
There is a large parking area located not far from the camping area. Parking is free. The area will not be accessible to vehicles from 01:00 am to 07:00 am.
Cyclists and motorcyclists who reach the festival will be able to park in an area that will be shown on site by the security staff.
In order to obtain the reduced price, please mention “Gran Bal Trad of Vialfrè” during hotel booking procedures.

Walks and excursions
The area and its surroundings offer numerous possibilities for walks and excursions.
In particular, to move without the car between the area of Pianezze and Vialfrè, we recommend the Cri Cron path, which can be done on foot, or the Arbrun path, which can be done on foot or by bike.
If you want to take a pleasant walk, which leads you to see an area of the Morainic Amphitheater of Ivrea very interesting from a geological point of view, we recommend the path of ‘Massi Erratici’ (just over seven kilometers back and forth from the center of Vialfrè).
Other walks suitable for outdoor activities on the Proloco web site.
Finally, for information on the activities organized in the area of Vialfrè, visit http://www.collinecanavesane.it/attivita
The Festival is housed in a naturalistic area of great beauty. Here are some recommendations to protect the fauna of this part of the moraine amphitheater.
