A Responsible Festival

I Suoni delle Dolomiti is a festival of encounter. Art merges with nature, its universal power intertwining with the millennia-old history of the Dolomites.

Music steps out of concert halls and reaches rocks and meadows, spires and mountain lakes. Without altering them, it arrives gently amid the silences and beauty of the landscape.

There are no stages or structures. Between the space of the musicians and the audience, there is only grass, meadow, a few flowers. Just the essentials, beneath the Dolomites. Every sound is mindful, every choice is responsible: no drones, no generators, only natural energy and light footsteps.

Concerts take place at noon, so the light is daylight and nothing else is needed. People walk, cycle, and hike together to reach the high altitude locations. Lunch is at the mountain hut near the concert site or a packed lunch. Waste is carried down the mountain, leaving no trace behind.

The territory lives the festival, welcomes it, and gains value from it. Inclusion and accessibility become part of its language: ActiveVest, LIS translations, dedicated transport.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the I Suoni delle Dolomiti (The Sounds of the Dolomites) festival, in 2025 Trentino Marketing launched a three-year plan to implement a sustainable management system. This system was audited by a third-party body in accordance with the international standard UNI ISO 20121:2024, successfully obtaining certification.

Our commitment

The certification

The UNI ISO 20121:2024 standard was introduced to help organizations in the design, delivery and monitoring phases of the impacts generated by events.

Trentino Marketing has signed a formal Sustainable Development Policy document that details the objectives in the different aspects of sustainability.

The Sustainable Development Policy underlines Trentino Marketing’s responsibility towards stakeholders for measuring and reducing impacts and includes the definition of commitments in relation to the Principles of Sustainable Development indicated by the standard.

  • ACCESSIBILITY – promoting the usability of products, services, environments and facilities
  • INCLUSIVITY – developing stakeholder engagement practices
  • INTEGRITY – safeguarding respect for ethical principles
  • INHERITANCE – promoting a positive legacy on the territory after the Festival
  • MANAGEMENT – share the sustainable development project internally
  • TRANSPARENCY – communicate clearly, accurately, promptly, honestly
  • RESPECT – foster opportunities and no discrimination

In line with the indications of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, with respect to the 17 sustainable development goals and in common with SproSS, Trentino Marketing, through the design and implementation of the Festival, undertakes to contribute to the achievement of the following objectives:

# GOAL 4. Provide quality, equitable and inclusive education and learning opportunities for all

# GOAL  5. Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls

# GOAL 11. Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, durable and sustainable

# GOAL 12. Ensuring sustainable models of production and consumption

# GOAL  17. Strengthen the means of implementing the goals and renew the global partnership for sustainable development

An experience in Trentino for everyone

This year as well, I Suoni delle Dolomiti has successfully met the challenge of bringing people with mobility disabilities to this high-altitude music festival and making concerts accessible to deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences.

In the 2026 edition, four events are scheduled to be accessible to wheelchair users and people with sensory disabilities:

How to reach the concert

These four concerts are accessible even if you use a wheelchair or have mobility difficulties. You can drive close to the event location and cover the final stretch on foot, as it is not accessible by car.

Thanks to the support of Remoove, you can be accompanied from the parking area to the concert using suitable transport solutions, such as wheelchair bikes.

 

Inclusive sensory experience

If you are deaf or hard of hearing, on these four dates you will be able to use Haptic Vests—special vests that convert sound into bodily vibrations. It will be an engaging sensory experience.

In addition, at these accessible events, you will find sign language interpreters (LIS) at the concert venues, ready to assist you with information or support if needed.

How to ensure an accessible experience

These events, like all concerts in the I Suoni delle Dolomiti, are free and open to everyone. However, if you have specific needs, we recommend planning ahead and booking any services or equipment that will help you fully enjoy the experience.

If you need assistance at the concert venue or would like to experience the sensory features of the Haptic Vests, please contact Remoove to make sure everything you need will be available on site.

We also suggest getting in touch with the Remoove team regarding the environmental conditions in which the concert will take place.

Experience uniqueness, together

Each concert of I Suoni delle Dolomiti is unique: the music blends with the rustling of grass in the wind, echoes through the forests, and enters into dialogue with the mountains. The highlands and their music are waiting for you. Get ready to feel their energy and be transformed by the experience.

  • We have not included specific references to cognitive-relational accessibility, as—given its variety and complexity—we recommend that visitors contact the venues they wish to explore to learn about available accommodations and independently assess how best to enjoy the experience.
  • We encourage everyone to gather information through official websites or by contacting the venues directly, in order to ensure the experience is suitable and to make informed decisions about how to engage with it.

Our green tips

  • Bring a reusable water bottle
  • Take your waste back down with you
  • Respect the nature around you
  • Wear clothing suitable for the mountains
  • Choose sustainable transport to reach the events
