Fera dei Set: transhumance and rural tradition in September

The ritual of the return to the valley

On September 5 and 6, 2026, the town hosts the Fera dei Set, an event rooted in agro-pastoral tradition that marks the end of the summer grazing season. The event signifies the moment when herds, after months spent on high-altitude pastures, return to the valley, bringing with them the heritage of an economic and social system still deeply linked to the rhythms of nature.

A cultural heritage within historic walls

The town, characterized by an urban layout that preserves the architectural elements of the Alpine past, serves as a natural stage for this anniversary. The layout of the streets and the exposed stone of the buildings create a context in which modernity gives way to the restoration of ancient agricultural rituals, offering visitors the chance to observe mountain culture in its most authentic expression.

Dynamics of the livestock exhibition

The Fera dei Set serves as a hub for evaluating local livestock heritage. During the fair, experts and breeders dedicate themselves to the selection and analysis of livestock, an activity that combines technical expertise with the promotion of Alpine breeds. This process is not just a moment of commercial exchange but an important professional opportunity for the rural community that guards the mountain territory.

Craftsmanship and gastronomic identity

In addition to livestock exhibitions, the event offers an exhibition path featuring local craft markets and typical food and wine products from the area. The stalls offer a selection of dairy and agricultural products, a direct testimony to the care and biodiversity that characterize local production. The atmosphere is enriched by moments dedicated to conviviality, where historical memory merges with daily life.

Logistical information

Participation in the Fera dei Set is free and open to all visitors interested in rural traditions. It is recommended to plan your arrival in advance, given the expected turnout in the parking areas near the historic center. For further details regarding registrations for breeders or the map of exhibition stands, you can consult the official communication channels of the local administration or the portal dedicated to the event.
