From mills to ovens, to discover ancient traditions.
In the beautiful location of the Cervino Valley, a rich program is offered on both days.
On Sunday, don’t miss the interesting itinerary of the mills, where the cereals were ground, up to the finished product: bread baked in the village oven!
You can taste typical dishes where the bread will be the protagonist, in the dinner on Saturday and at lunch on Sunday, there will also be musical entertainment and more!
Each village in the Aosta Valley, in fact, was equipped with at least one community oven, where families used to took turns baking bread for their own consumption, usually once a year, at the beginning of winter. This custom is still current in many villages.
