Castagnata in vetta – Chestnut Festival at Alpe Foppa

Autumn on Monte Tamaro has an unmistakable scent: chestnuts roasting over an open fire. On Sunday 18 October, join us at Alpe Foppa for the Castagnata, a day of music, seasonal flavours and autumn views at 1,530 metres.

Ride the gondola up from Rivera and step out into meadows, a small mountain lake and peaks in their autumn colours. From late morning, live music fills the terrace. In the afternoon the fire is lit for the moment everyone has been waiting for: chestnuts, on us. It's our way of celebrating Ticino's best-loved seasonal tradition together with you.

Programme

• From 11:00 – Live music with the legendary Ciro
• From 14:00 – Chestnuts offered by Monte Tamaro

For lunch, stop at the Ristorante Alpe Foppa for traditional dishes and views of the Alps before the chestnuts arrive.

A celebration for families, friends and mountain lovers. Alpe Foppa is reached by gondola at the usual fares. Music and chestnuts await you at the top, on us.
