About Artigiani a Bosentino
The Bosentino Christmas Market
«Artigiani a Bosentino – The Christmas Market» is one of the most cherished Christmas events on the Vigolana Plateau, in the municipality of Altopiano della Vigolana, in the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). For over twenty years, around the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the village sports hall in Bosentino transforms into a warm and welcoming showcase of local craftsmanship and traditions. The event is organized by the Pro Loco Altopiano della Vigolana with the support of local volunteers and associations.
Crafts and local products
The heart of the market lies in its strictly handmade goods: ceramics, embroidery, wood carvings, jewelry, and small creations made by artisans and hobbyists from the Vigolana area. Alongside the craft stalls, local agricultural producers offer the genuine flavors of the Trentino mountains. It is a perfect opportunity to find original gifts while supporting the economy and creativity of a small alpine community.
Gastronomy, music, and Krampus
During the market days, there is no shortage of traditional gastronomy — canederli, spätzle, and the afternoon snacks that define the day — as well as live music and workshops for children, with the comet star serving as the symbol of Christmas on the Plateau. The most anticipated moment is the Krampus Parade: unsettling figures with hand-carved masks, goat skins, wooden clogs, and menacing horns that march through the village in a procession of fire, noise, and mystery, following an ancient alpine tradition.
An authentic Christmas in the Alpe Cimbra area
Part of the Christmas calendar for the Alpe Cimbra area, «Artigiani a Bosentino» offers residents and tourists the chance to experience an authentic and convivial Christmas, far from the frenzy of large city markets. The setting of the Vigolana Plateau, nestled among the woods and mountains of Trentino, adds charm to an event that unites tradition, community, and tourism.
