Intro

Every year, Château-d’Œx’s “Bois qui Chante” (Singing Wood) Festival celebrates wooden instruments and the natural world.

In the Arses Forest above Rougemont grow some of the world’s most wonderful trees — whose wood is famous for the quality of its resonance. What could be better then than a ten-day festival celebrating this exceptional heritage?

Every year in mid-October, Château-d’Œx’s “Bois qui Chante” (Singing Wood) Festival explores the whole panoply of musical instruments built in wood. Open to every kind of participant, the Festival offers a rich and varied programme, combining concerts of classical and popular music with films, conferences, children’s shows and — a great favourite — forest hikes to visit the magnificent singing trees where they grow.
