Livigno - Trepalle
Alpenfest
The farmers are those who quietly and discreetly work hard throughout the summer. Alpenfest is the day in which the ancient rite of Alpine transhumance is relived, in which the cattle, after spending the summer in the alpine pastures, return to the village for the winter. This edition of Alpenfest will be special, a real celebration: after the traditional parade, lunch will be prepared by the Livigno Cooks and Pastry Chefs Association, who will prepare tasty recipes inspired by the book "Leina da Saor". Following this, performances by local groups, representations of ancient crafts and ballroom dancing will enliven the day.
