Ecotourism Festival in Castérino

Most activities are free of charge. Charges may apply for special events and mountain bike hire, for example.

For free activities, we suggest you consult the schedule and arrive between 10 and 20 minutes in advance, to maximize your chances of participation. To take part in paid activities, you need to book in advance with the suppliers.

Pets are welcome, but must be kept on a leash within the festival grounds.

The festival strives to be accessible to all.

The farmers’ market is held on the paved Castérino parking lot, which is accessible to people with reduced mobility.

The outdoor activities (walks, treasure hunts, etc.) are not adapted for people with reduced mobility. You can, however, take advantage of a number of events accessible throughout the weekend 👉 market, conferences, yoga, creative workshops, climate fresco or the play.

We encourage car pooling, the use of reusable water bottles and respect for waste sorting practices.

We focus on reducing our ecological impact, in particular by managing waste and making the most of local service providers.
