Dry, windy summers provide apples with the ideal climate to ripen without the risk of disease. And the almost absence of anti-cryptogamic treatments means that the apple, the most cultivated fruit in Aosta Valley, reaches here very high levels of perfume and goodness.

For years in Antey-Saint-André, the apple has been celebrated on the Autumn Festival. It is a true apotheosis of colors, perfumes and tastes.

The event is made of exhibitions and tastings, children’s workshops with apple as the theme of the activity. Heart of the event is the market with fruits, fruit trees and apple products that are sold directly by the producers.

  • You can find many varieties of apple
  • Workshops and animations for children with the theme “apple”
  • All products derived from apple
