A historic heritage of the Aosta Valley
On September 20, 2026, the municipality of Valpelline will host the historic Féa de Vapeleunna, recognized as the oldest livestock fair in the entire Aosta Valley region. This event serves as a tangible testament to the resilience and agricultural identity of alpine communities, keeping the bond between the territory and its original rural vocation intact.
The centrality of the territory
Located within the valley of the same name, Valpelline offers a uniquely evocative geographical setting, characterized by mountain architecture that preserves traditional construction elements. The fair transforms the town center streets into an exhibition path where the village's urban layout serves as a natural backdrop for local customs, highlighting every historic corner of the town.
Excellence in food and wine
From 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, the event features a vast market-exhibition dedicated to the region's agricultural products. Visitors have the opportunity to engage directly with local producers, exploring a selection of excellence ranging from alpine cheeses to traditional cured meats, an authentic expression of processing techniques passed down through generations.
The bond with agricultural tradition
The beating heart of the event remains the area managed by the Pro Loco, entirely dedicated to the livestock world. The presence of the animals is not a mere exhibition, but a tribute to the farming culture that has defined the economic stability of the valley for centuries. It is in this space that one can perceive the historical continuity of the Féa de Vapeleunna, an event that goes beyond simple commerce and serves as a moment of reflection on life at high altitudes.
Information for visitors
Access to the event is free and open to the public. For further details regarding the detailed program of the day, traffic information, or how to participate in the stands, it is recommended to consult the official channels of the local administration. The fair takes place entirely outdoors, so appropriate clothing for high-mountain weather is recommended, even on late summer days.
