Cornàt Festival — Sondalo

The Cornàt Festival of Sondalo

The Cornàt Festival is one of the most characteristic gastronomic events of the summer in Sondalo (Province of Sondrio), in Alta Valtellina. Organized by the Youth Association Gli Sgangherati from the hamlet of Frontale, the festival is dedicated to the cornàt, a typical Valtellina focaccia that can be enjoyed in both savory and sweet versions, and is held at the town's Centro Polifunzionale.

The Cornàt and its Variations

The absolute star is the cornàt, offered in various forms. The savory version is presented as cornàt "in padéla" and in the Fiadarda variant, accompanied by salad and local products. The sweet version, on the other hand, is enjoyed with apples or the new Fugascia, a sweet focaccia with raisins, served with creams and fruit compotes. A journey into the flavors of Valtellina tradition, accompanied by craft beer from Birrificio Revertis.

A Festival for Everyone

The festival is also about celebration and fun. The program includes an afternoon opening with the craft market and a play area with traditional wooden games, the aperi-cornàt with a DJ set, the opening of the kitchen, and in the evening, live music. A young and convivial atmosphere, with the collaboration of APT Sondalo, AVIS, local Alpini, and local producers.
