From June 1st to September 21st, the unmissable Sundays in the Alpine Pastures events return to the mountains of Bielmonte and Oasi Zegna. Engaging experiences during which time slows down and the frenzy of everyday life dissolves in the fresh air of the Alpine pastures. An opportunity to reconnect with nature and the deepest roots of rural life.
Among the green high-altitude meadows, where cows and horses graze peacefully, you can breathe in the tranquility and feel the calm rhythm of life on the Alpine pastures. Touching the animals becomes a unique sensory experience that envelops every visitor.
But the Sundays in the Alpine Pastures are also a journey through time, a dive into the ancient mountain professions handed down from generation to generation. You can witness the milking and the magical process of transforming milk into cheese, an ancient art that requires patience, skill, passion and dedication.
The dates to mark on your calendar are:
◈ June 1, 15
◈ July 6, 20
◈ August 3, 10, 24
◈ September 7, 21
The program includes departure by 9:00 from Bocchetto Sessera. From there an easy walk, on a path with little difference in altitude on a ''dirt road'', of about 45 minutes to reach Agriturismo Alpe Moncerchio.
The activity begins at 10:00 with a presentation of the company and the mountain pasture, a visit to the grazing cows, a demonstration of manual milking with the possibility of tasting the freshly milked milk.
Followed by a short walk to reach the dairy with a demonstration of the processing of the typical local cheese ''Macagn'' and a visit to the cellar.
Possibility of having lunch at the farmhouse and purchasing the products.
