Tips

Check the official festival announcement to confirm if the event will be held in case of bad weather. Even in the height of summer, nights in the mountains can be cold, so don't forget a light jacket. After the event, mountain roads will be congested, so it's recommended to savor the atmosphere before leaving at a staggered time.
