Autumn enjoyment 100% Valposchiavo

When the larches turn golden and the first snow falls on the mountain peaks, the chestnut harvest begins in Brusio, in the lower part of the valley. In the past, chestnuts fed the population during the long winter months and today they conjure up autumnal flavors in fine dishes. In our region, the chestnut is not just a foodstuff, but rather a symbol of a long culinary, agricultural and even social tradition. In mid-October, the inhabitants of Brusio celebrate the chestnut festival, a symbiosis of folk festival, culinary delicacy and cultural event; hot chestnuts, music, a cozy get-together and a small market with local products are a must!
