A mountain dairy festival at Parco Palù, celebrating Vezzena — one of Trentino's oldest cheeses, a Slow Food Presidium, and reportedly Emperor Franz Joseph's favorite. Families can follow milk's full journey from milking to cheesemaking, with tastings, workshops, and hikes across one of Europe's largest alpine pastures.
