Practicalities
Before you climb.
Getting there
- Shuttle
- Buses leave the valley station every 30 minutes from 10:00, and return after the last set. The climb is 40 minutes of switchbacks — sit on the left for the view.
- By foot
- The pony trail from the village takes about two hours. It is steep, honest walking — bring water and start before noon.
- By car
- There is no parking on the meadow. Drop-offs only at the base station; everything above is shuttle, foot, or hoof.
Camping life
- The pitch
- Ridge Camp tents are pitched, sleeping-kit included, and yours for all three nights. You bring the rest of the weather.
- Fires
- Open flame lives only in the ceremony circles — the fire crew keeps them, you keep your distance.
- Cold nights
- At 2,150 m April drops below zero after midnight. Pack like you mean it; the hot showers are real.
Accessibility
- Terrain
- The meadow is grass and stone with graded paths to all three stages. The Hollow bowl has a stepped section — volunteers will route you around it.
- Viewing platforms
- Raised platforms sit at Summit and Fireline with space for companions. First come, no pass difference.
- Quiet space
- A low-stimulation tent sits behind The Hollow, staffed all day. Ear defenders available at the info booth.
- Contact
- Tell us what you need before you climb — accessibility arrangements are made with humans, not forms.
Questions, answered.
Is this a real festival?
No — LAYA is a fictional demonstration created for this website template. Every artist, price, and ritual is invented, and nothing can be purchased here.
Can I leave and come back?
Yes. Your bracelet is your re-entry for the whole stay; shuttles run until an hour after the final set.
What should I pack?
Layers you can dance in, a headlamp, more water bottle than you think, and cold-weather sleep gear if you are camping.
Is there phone signal?
Patchy on the ridge, good at the base station. The schedule board at the info tent is updated by hand, the old way.
