ESECUTIVO STRADE VINO E SAPORI inglese.cdr - Trentino

not to be missed
Third itinerary
High altitude flavours
At sunset, when the Pale di San
Martino are tinged with pink, at 2,200
m on the Tognola Alps and the snowwhite
ski pistes, the “High Altitude
Flavours” event takes place; a tasting
of cheeses and products of the
Primiero, Fiemme and Fassa valleys
served with Trentino wines and for the
youngest with apple juice and wild
fruits. A magical atmosphere, sweet
melodies and a thrilling torchlight
descent on the piste Uno with the ski
instructors provide a unique
experience. A detailed programme is
available at the Funivie Tognola in San
Martino di Castrozza.

This journey, in Primiero, in the shadow
of the Pale di San Martino, starts from
Siror, the first of the 7 communes that,
like a mosaic, form the inhabited part of
this Dolomite valley. In this centre the
delicious ‘carne fumada di Siror’ (20) has
been produced for over 40 years and is
excellent eaten either by itself, or with
fresh cheeses, or local ricotta.

On the way to Tonadico, it is worth
stopping at Villa Welsperg to see the
caretaker’s garden and the laboratory for
the recuperation of the traditional seeds
of the past. Starting from Tonadico the
didactic Tonadico-Cimerlo path leads,
past the old Apiary of Don Fuganti, to Val
Canali, renowned as the “Valle Biodiversa”
for the important ecosustainable
projects started by the
Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Nature
Park. Nature and flavours are the subject
of many walks, also beneath the stars,
visits to the mountain dairies (27),
tasting and workshops organised by the
Park. And for the youngest, entertaining
activities to discover the berry fruits in
the highest located cultivations in
Trentino, at the foot of Passo Cereda
(26).
On the state road leading to Mezzano, a
stop at the Primiero Cooperative Dairy (4)
is a must. Here you can find the Tosèla
cheese and various maturations of the
Nostrano di Primiero to enjoy with the
4
local honey (19). If you order it
beforehand, you can also find the Botìro di
Primiero di Malga butter produced only in
the summer months.
To discover where and how Botìro butter
is made you have to go to Malga
Fossernica in Valle del Vanoi, on the edge
of the Tour of the Ethnographic Path
dedicated to the mountain dairies, their
use and a number of activities combining
traditions and flavours organised by the
Vanoi Eco-museum. The last mouthwatering
stop is above Zortea, on the road
leading to the splendid Lake Calaita,
where you can find not only strawberries
and bilberries, but also herbal teas of mint,
pot marigold, cornflower and nettle (31).
