Summer in Livigno comes to a close this year with an event that captures the authentic soul of the valley: the Alpen Fest, the great celebration of farming roots and transhumance, when the herds return from the high alpine pastures to the village stables. A moment of folklore, gastronomy, and music that offers unique emotions to those who choose to experience the mountains in September.
Alpen Fest: a journey into Livigno’s traditions
During the Alpen Fest, scheduled for September 27 and 28, Livigno comes alive with parades in traditional costumes, decorated wagons, music, folk dances, and a major live show by Davide Van De Froos.
At the heart of the event are the flavors of the region: cheeses, cured meats, and traditional dishes that tell the story of the valley’s farming heritage. It’s a two-day festival that brings together young and old, tourists and locals, in a warm and genuine atmosphere.
Among the key players of the Alpen Fest is also Azienda Agricola Piccolo, a historic farm in Livigno producing top-quality beef cuts. Their products will enrich the Alpen Fest lunch and have long been featured in the gastronomic offerings of Eno-Bistrot Mota. A collaboration that once again highlights the deep bond between Hotel Mota and local producers.
