An unforgettable adventure that will take you deep into the roots of the mountains, immersed in the heart of Alpine traditions. The “Story of the Farmer of the Past, Today” is an experience that will let you breathe in the authenticity of high-altitude living — an opportunity to dive into the fascinating world of alpine pastures and malgari, the beating heart of the mountains.
The visit to the Battista Agricultural Museum is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey: a journey through history, traditions, and stories of daily life, where the protagonists are the malgari themselves, who, with passion and dedication, have always preserved the bond with nature and the land. Walking through the museum, you will admire ancient tools, vintage photographs, and objects that tell the story of the tough yet fascinating life of those who, every summer, retreat to the mountain huts with their livestock to make cheese and tend to the pastures.
But it’s not just a journey into the past: the true heart of the experience is meeting Battista, our malgaro, who, with a voice full of emotion and memories, will share stories of hard work, joy, and life closely tied to a world of silence, starry skies, and breathtaking landscapes. You will discover what daily life in the malga is like, the challenges faced, and the peaceful moments that only the mountains can offer.
At the end of the tour, you’ll enjoy an even more authentic moment with a tasting of products from the farm, savoring cheeses, cured meats, and specialties born from the work and passion of those who still today keep the ancient traditions of the malga alive.
This journey will offer you not only an accurate testimony of an ancient craft but also a full immersion into the heart of the Alps, where every corner has a story to tell.
