Passi Musica Parole is a festival dedicated to those who want to discover the Apennines through walking, culture, and encounters. The events take place among refuges, trails, woods and symbolic places of the Giogo-Casaglia demanial area, with a program that alternates guided walks, readings, concerts, workshops, yoga, book presentations, and dinners at the refuge.

The 2026 edition offers experiences spread over several days: sunset treks, an acoustic dawn on Monte Altuzzo, antifascist readings on the move, workshops for adults and children, live concerts, and meetings with authors. The festival is free to attend, with reservations required for some activities and social gatherings.

It is an opportunity to experience Mugello in a slow and mindful way, traversing Apennine landscapes, refuges and walking routes, with music and words as the guiding thread.
