Festa ta Mont

On Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th of August, Val San Nicolò, one of the most beautiful valleys in Fassa, will once again host the "Festa ta Mont", a two-day event dedicated to the most authentic traditions, made up of customs, stories and legends. Here, amidst the old huts, called "tieja" in Ladin and once used as seasonal dwellings and as barns during the alpine pasture period, you can get to know a cross-section of Ladin culture. Don't forget to sample the tasty dishes of the local cuisine while listening to cheerful folk music. Some 20 stands animate the valley, from "Saùch" to "Baita Ciampiè" refuge, offering platters of cold meats and local cheeses, dumplings, polenta, goulash, spit-roasted pork, pork knuckle and pork ribs, sausages, sauerkraut, sauerkraut sandwiches, pretzels and weißwurst, chicken with french fries, "fortae", apple fritters, apple strudel, tarts, "Kaiserschmarrn", krapfen, yoghurt and malga whipped cream.

And after lunch, you can choose to visit the photo exhibitions, while the children take a zip line ride, jump on trampolines and in the hay, play and participate in fun creative workshops all together.

The "Festa ta Mont" is a demonstration of the liveliness of the local social fabric, thanks to over two hundred volunteers who, with their availability and cooperation, contribute to the success of the event in an atmosphere of friendship and joy.
