"Lo Matsòn" - food and wine fair
Resorts: Courmayeur
Centre of Courmayeur
06 September 2025 - 07 September 2025
Lo Matsòn is the celebration of the authentic flavours of the Aosta Valley.
In the heart of Courmayeur, at the foot of Mont Blanc, a unique weekend comes to life, celebrating the finest local food and wine traditions.
On Sunday, the town centre turns into a large open-air market: a stroll through genuine aromas and flavours, meeting producers face-to-face and discovering the stories behind each specialty. Fresh products, crisp air, smiling faces.
Lo Matsòn, which means “snack” in the local dialect, is much more than a market: it’s a convivial experience, a moment to build connections, learn, taste, and buy the very best the Aosta Valley has to offer.
To mark its 25th edition, Lo Matsòn welcomes Michelin-starred chef Carlo Cracco as a special guest.
