Alpini Festival — ANA Group of Baselga di Pinè

An Alpine festival in the heart of the Pinè Plateau

The Alpini Festival is the signature summer event organized by the ANA Group (National Alpini Association) of Baselga di Pinè, located in the province of Trento, in the Trentino-Alto Adige region. Founded in 1931, the local Alpini group has been celebrating this community gathering for decades, bringing together members, families, friends, and supporters to honor the core values of the Alpine spirit: memory, solidarity, deep attachment to the land, and volunteerism.

Between Alpine heritage and village life

The festival is much more than a simple gathering; it is a time for the Baselga di Pinè community to come together and pay tribute to the Alpini and their history. The program, traditionally held over a weekend in July, balances moments of reflection with festive conviviality. The event includes commemorations for the fallen, the blessing of local crucifixes scattered throughout the area, and performances by the ANA Choir, which accompanies the festivities with traditional Alpine songs.

Holy Mass and celebrations at the headquarters

The heart of the event is the Holy Mass celebrated at the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Baselga di Pinè, followed by celebrations at the group's headquarters. Here, the Alpini prepare authentic Trentino cuisine, with traditional local dishes served under the marquee, while the day continues with music, dancing, and entertainment for all ages. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the genuine spirit of mountain festivals, where hospitality and a sense of belonging matter most.
