Mystery of the Mountains: Culture at High Altitude Between Reflection and Nature

The twenty-fourth edition of the festival

From July 31st to August 9th, the territory of Madonna di Campiglio and Carisolo hosts the 24th edition of the Mystery of the Mountains festival. The event consolidates itself as a moment of synthesis between the alpine environment and contemporary intellectual production, proposing a structured reflection on the complexities of the current era.

The Wuthering Heights theme

The central theme chosen for the current edition, Wuthering Heights, serves as a key to interpreting global instabilities. Through a multidisciplinary program that intertwines literature, art, journalism, and history, the festival invites the public to question social and environmental dynamics, using the high altitude as a privileged setting for critical debate.

A schedule of meetings and routes

The calendar offers an alternation between academic lectures and experiential activities in the field. Among the prominent figures expected are art historian Flavio Caroli, psychiatrist Vittorino Andreoli, and journalists Nello Scavo and Paola Caridi. In addition to indoor sessions, the festival promotes artistic trekking and poetic walks, methods that allow for the combination of thematic depth with direct observation of the Dolomite landscape, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Value of the territory

The location, nestled in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites, adds value to the cultural experience. The urban context of Madonna di Campiglio and the tradition of Carisolo offer a balance between alpine hospitality infrastructure and environmental protection. The choice of locations is not accidental: the exploration of the mountain territory becomes an integral part of a deep understanding process, where the verticality of the peaks recalls the themes raised by the invited guests.

Logistical information

The festival is structured to welcome the public through a series of meetings located in the two participating towns.
