Transhumance festival
Summer
Typology:
In autumn, local communities in the Trentino-Alto Adige region celebrate herds coming down from Alpine pastures. These are extremely merry events, especially popular with children. Watch carefully groomed cows, goats and calves spruced up with flowers, ribbons and bells swarm the streets and squares to the tune of marching bands. Don’t miss this feast of sounds and colours.

Say goodbye to summer and welcome autumn
Any time of the year deserves celebrating
The so called desmontegada (the local dialect word for ‘transhumance from Alpine pastures’) is an ancient and meaningful rite of passage. In Trentino-Alto Adige people have been celebrating the gifts that every season brings with it.
