A week of aromatic herbs, botany, and gourmet cuisine at Cinque Torri
Aromi d'Alta Quota is a themed week organized by Rifugio Averau, at the Cinque Torri in Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno province). The initiative celebrates the high-altitude aromatic herbs that grow on the meadows and rocks of the Dolomites, exploring their uses, flavors, and properties.
The program combines the discovery of alpine flora with mountain cuisine: guided botanical walks to find wild herbs, talks on their traditional and culinary uses, and dishes that enhance their aromas. The highlight is the botanical walk with gourmet lunch, an accompanied excursion culminating in a meal prepared with local flavors.
Set at over 2,400 meters, against the backdrop of Cinque Torri, the event is part of the rich summer calendar of Rifugio Averau and the Cortina Delicious program. It's an invitation to experience the mountains in a slow and mindful way, amidst nature, knowledge, and good food, in the heart of the Ampezzo Dolomites.
The 2026 edition of Aromi d'Alta Quota enlivens Rifugio Averau at Cinque Torri from July 13th to 19th. The week is dedicated to discovering high-altitude aromatic herbs, with gastronomic offerings and initiatives related to alpine flora.
