This is the best time to celebrate the great quality of their milk enriched with the scent of high altitude flowers and to taste their delicious cheeses, especially goat ones.
Cavalese greets 350 goats decorated with flowers which parade through the crowded main roads.
On the other side, cows overrun Predazzo’s centre and start a festival of re-enactments of ancient flavours and crafts.
During the Desmontegade’s weekends there are planned several street markets, tastings, meetings with cheese producers, mountain hut excursions, bike tours, Nordic walking excursions, bovine and goats exhibitions.
Besides these two feast weekends, the gastronomic festival “The magnificent Fiemme Products” awaits for you in the Osterie Tipiche Trentine, Farmhouses and Restaurants of the project Dolomites Cheese Route. They will  present typical dishes and old recipes made out of local products, many of them belonging to the Food Community of Val di Fiemme-Slow Food matched with the best Trentino’s wines.
