Desmontegada de le Caore
A delicious weekend which tastes of tradition and solidarity
September is just around the corner and it is time to desmontegar, a long-standing, never-ending Fiemme tradition. This year, the Desmontegada de le Caore has not stopped. On the contrary, goats and their breeders will be parading in the streets of Cavalese in what will be a special edition of this annual event. The breeders will be accompanied by music and folklore, creating a unique atmosphere and unforgettable memories for visitors.
For three days, you will get the chance to savour local food and celebrate the return of goats from mountain pastures in many different ways: tasty activities for gourmets, extraordinary walks at sunset or sunrise, special moments of relaxation, delicious aperitifs at high altitude or in one of the numerous village squares and riveting performances that will allow you to find out the secrets of Cavalese and the Magnifica Comunità di Fiemme.
For a memorable experience, listen to breeders and their fascinating stories, visit cowsheds and the typical alpine farms called malghe, participate in workshops and enjoy tastings of exquisite Fiemme delicacies. And if you are looking forward to discovering the authentic flavours of Val di Fiemme, take a moment to visit the traditional food fair Magnifici Prodotti di Fiemme, where you will find gourmet products and mouth-watering dishes which will turn your holiday into an unforgettable experience.
