About Chocomoments

For Ferragosto, Santa Caterina Valfurva becomes the capital of chocolate with Chocomoments: the artisan chocolate exhibition market in all its forms. Stands of master chocolatiers, workshops for children, cooking shows, processing courses, and delicious tastings liven up the town centre, at the foot of the Alta Valtellina mountains. A very sweet event that combines taste, mountains, and fun for the whole family.

Chocolate goes up the mountain

Every summer, in the heart of Santa Caterina Valfurva — a renowned resort in Alta Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio — comes Chocomoments, the artisan chocolate festival. For four days around Ferragosto, the town centre fills with fragrant stands where master chocolatiers present and sell chocolate in all its forms and qualities.

Workshops, cooking shows, and courses

Chocomoments is not just an exhibition market: it's an immersive experience. The little ones can participate in the Choco Baby workshops, learning to make chocolates, while adults can sign up for chocolate processing courses. Every day, cooking shows demonstrate live the preparation of Sacher cakes, typical pralines, and spectacular creations, including record-breaking chocolate bars.

A delicious Ferragosto

The event is part of Santa Caterina's rich summer calendar, which during Ferragosto offers numerous initiatives involving sport, tradition, and entertainment. Chocomoments adds a sweet and festive note to one of the liveliest weeks of the Valtellina summer, attracting tourists and food lovers from all over the valley.

Amidst the mountains of Alta Valtellina

Santa Caterina Valfurva is a pearl set in the Stelvio National Park, loved in winter for skiing and in summer for hiking. Experiencing Chocomoments means combining the pleasure of artisan chocolate with the beauty of a unique alpine landscape, in one of the most charming municipalities in the province of Sondrio.
