Dawn in alpine farmhouses and dairies (Albe in malga) is an unforgettable experience in the enchanted treasure chest that is Val di Fassa.
Three dates to experience on a journey that will take you through stunning views and an authentic alpine setting. Fall asleep at high altitude, dreaming of the special awakening dawn will bring. Wake up embraced by the warmth of ancient timber walls, step outside to admire the first rays of sunshine embracing the Dolomites and enjoy the richness of a Ladin breakfast.
Discover the richness of a culture that lives in contact with nature.
The life of the herdsman at sunrise
Set the alarm! "Albe in malga" are back
Experience the life of a herdsman at sunrise, in wonderful locations such as Sasso Piatto, Contrin and Val Jumela. There are three appointments, in the summer, in three mountain refuges, where you can spend the night, and three farmhouses/dairies where you can look after the cattle at dawn. The reward? The most genuine breakfast of your life.
Nothing will ever be the same after a dawn on an alpine pasture. The cowbell will be an irresistible call: you'll want to jump out of bed at 5:30 a.m. in search of a pasture to herd the cattle, you'll long to drink only freshly milked milk, and you'll look at the first rays of sunlight with adoring eyes. These are some of the "side effects" - the worst is that you'll never want to come down from the pasture again - of one of the most fun adventures to be had in Val di Fassa.
The experience can be booked online or in the tourist offices of the valley by the day before the activity.
