From 11 to 14 June, four days of nature, culture and well-being on the largest lake island in Europe
The perfect combination of movement, culture and sustainability blows out ten candles this year. Born in 2017 from the meeting between LAMU (Free Academy of Movimento Utile) and the ASD Rosa Running Team, the Cammino Festival reaches the finish line of its tenth edition. To celebrate this important anniversary, the traveling event which has already seen over 6,500 people walk for more than 2,800 kilometers chooses an exceptional and highly symbolic location: Monte Isola, on Lake Iseo.
the dates

From 11 to 14 June 2026, the largest lake island in Europe – a territory naturally devoid of cars and devoted to silence – will be transformed into the beating heart of slow travel and reconnection with nature. “Movement must always be linked to something and, with the Festival, it joins culture and art. You walk to discover the territory, its landscapes and its nature”, explains Gabriele Rosa, cardiologist, world-famous coach, creator of generations of elite African marathon runners, founder of Lamu and ASD Rosa. “Celebrating the tenth birthday of the Cammino Festival, a project that I saw born and that I have followed closely since day one, is a great emotion – says Mariella Faustinoni, tireless manager of the Project -. It is a Festival that has come a long way, growing step by step, building a solid community and a loyal audience that shares our same values”.
