Dosig-Morkt (Craft and Flavours Market)

The Dosig-Morkt in Prato allo Stelvio

The Dosig-Morkt is the mid-August market in Prato allo Stelvio/Prad am Stilfserjoch, a village in the Val Venosta, in the Province of Bolzano, in the heart of South Tyrol (Südtirol). The name comes from the local dialect: Dosig refers to the mid-August period, the central days of the month when the village gathers in its square for a festive morning. The event draws on the long tradition of valley markets, rooted in centuries of trade and village fairs.

Crafts and Flavours of Val Venosta

Throughout the morning, the village's main square transforms into an open-air market dedicated to high-quality craftsmanship and regional products. The stalls offer handmade items, creations by local artisans, and gastronomic specialties of the region, highlighting those who preserve trades and recipes passed down through generations.

• Artistic crafts and handmade items by local masters
• Typical South Tyrolean products: speck, mountain cheese, traditional bread, and preserves
• Gastronomic specialties to taste and purchase directly in the square
• An opportunity to meet producers and discover the excellence of Val Venosta
