Destination: Melette di Gallio e di Foza - Asiago Plateau 7 Municipalities
On the occasion of the Made in Malga 2026 event, Asiago Guide offers this experience among the Malghe.
"But Tӧnle Bintarn grazed his sheep out of all this; often, in his solitude, he thought of what the charcoal-burner had told him and what life had taught him; And perhaps he could see the things and facts that were happening in a vast historical landscape - the solitude, the mountains? - which escaped most people because they were immersed in it."
Mario Rigoni Stern - History of Tönle
A journey through the mountain huts of Melette di Gallio and Foza, where for centuries shepherds have
lived following the rhythm of the seasons. We will cross pastures and ancient paths to
rediscover the history of Tönle, protagonists of a mountain civilization made up of transhumance,
work and deep connection with nature.
Walking among vast panoramas and silences at high altitude, we will learn about the traditions
of the mountain pastures and the ancient art of sheep's cheese production, with a
final tasting that will tell the authentic flavor of the mountain.
Reservations are required.
The initiative is also intended to be a tribute to Mario Rigoni Stern, who just twenty years ago published his latest book, Seasons. The slow passage of time shapes man, pastures, mountain huts and their cheeses. Step by step, accompanied by the words of the "singer of the Plateau", we will visit places rich in history and nature, meet the protagonists of the mountain and taste the products that tell the story of the territory.
