AUTUMN IN THE DOLOMITES

A detox holiday, to live the mountain as a real local!

October and November in Val di Fassa, Val di Fiemme and Primiero Our valleys and mountains are always beautiful, througout the summer as well in winter. But if you ask a local what is his favorite season... many say Autumn! Crispy days, clear light, autumn woods and its colors... In our opinion, it is the perfect time to live a realaxing and detoxing holiday, close to nature and to yourself. Of course, it is impossible for us not to mention the culinary fall delicacies you can find in this period: the first cheeses made with summer high pastures milk are ready, fresh apples, chestnut and pumpkins. Take your time and plan a relaxing holiday; naturally you can't expect a calendar full of events and entertaning as in August, but you can enjoy magnificent landscapes and solo walks, totally in peace. Here, some suggestions - with holiday ideas too - to combine a detox holiday with gourmet experiences!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOT TO BE MISSED: OUR "LOCAL" SUGGESTIONS What do locals do in Autumn, here in the Dolomiti? Let's find out! "Enjoy a sunset at Calaita Lake, after a ten minutes walk you will be in front of one of the most beautiful view of our mountains, colored by pink because of Enrosadira, really intense in the fall. Then enjoy a strudel pie at Miralago restaurant, with lake and mountains view"
Francesca, Imer (Primiero) "Take a walk from San Martino di Castrozza till the meadows just over Maso Col. Take your time to sit down and listen to the nature, if you're lucky you will see a deer! Then with a 30min walk you can reach Malga Civertaghe, where to eat a memorable sandwich!"
Dora, San Martino di Castrozza  "This is the perfect time of the year for sauerkraut with smoked bones and pig sausages, as we do in the past years, when every family had a pig and a garden" 
[you can find this products at Macelleria Bonelli, in Fiera di Primiero or Siror shops]
Tullio, San Martino di Castrozza "In Autumn, i like having an afternoon snak with chestnus and brulè (hot spiced wine) in a warm stube wood room with friends"
[for example, every Sunday afternoon at Maso dello Speck]
Michele, Tesero (Val di Fiemme) "Spend a day between forte Dossaccio (a WWI building) and the violin forest in Paneveggio: the peace, the silence, broken only by some wild animal or by the sound of Travignolo creek..."
[take a walk also on the Marciò trail, which begins at Paneveggio Park visitors center]
Beatrice (Val di Fiemme) "A thing not to be missed in this season, is the Friedrich August trail from Sella Pass to Rifugio Sasso Piatto".
Elisa, Canazei (Val di Fassa)
