Pastry shops at the foot of the Dolomites
Pastry shops not to be missed between one descent and another!
After a day in the snow there is nothing better than a nice cup of hot chocolate! Perhaps accompanied by a slice of strudel or one of those delicious cakes that combine tradition, generosity and simple and genuine ingredients, and which take you on a journey into the heart of the most childlike happiness when you sink your spoon into it. Or you can enjoy some expertly handmade biscuit coated in a cloud of sugar. Behind the preparation of each recipe there are stories that come from afar.
They are stories of workshops that are passed from father to son, stories of families united by a great passion and, above all, stories of secrets... because every pastry shop has its own to pass on to the next generation.
