Hiking and wellness festival at the foot of Canigou
Created in 2019, the Rand'eau Festival is a 100% outdoor and 100% Occitanie event held every summer in Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda, a spa town nestled at the foot of Mount Canigou in the Pyrénées-Orientales. For ten days in July, the festival offers hikes to discover the secret valleys of Canigou, Nordic walking, wildlife observation in the Prats-de-Mollo nature reserve, and wellness activities linked to the thermal baths. The festival promotes natural health, human connection, and the discovery of heritage between the sea and the mountains.
Since 2019, the Rand'eau Festival has invited nature and outdoor lovers to explore the secret valleys of Mount Canigou from the spa town of Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda. This outdoor festival, supported by local stakeholders committed to promoting the region and artisanal trade, offers about ten days of immersive activities in the Pyrenean nature.
The Rand'eau Festival program revolves around hiking in all its forms: Nordic walking, hikes along the Tech river, wildlife observation in the Prats-de-Mollo nature reserve, thematic walks, and mountain excursions. True to the DNA of the Amélie-les-Bains spa town, the festival integrates a dimension of wellness and natural health into its programming.
The Rand'eau Festival claims its territorial roots with a 100% outdoor and 100% Occitanie positioning. Activities unfold between the sea and the mountains, offering participants a range of experiences from high-altitude hiking to white-water sports. The festival values human connections and the discovery of exceptional natural heritage.
Building on its success, the Rand'eau Festival expanded in 2025 with the launch of a stage in Gruissan (Aude), a sign of the event's vitality and attractiveness. The main edition remains anchored in Amélie-les-Bains, the gateway to Haut-Vallespir and the Canigou massif.
