Farmers' and Artisans' Market

A zero-kilometre market in the Tures Valley

The Bauern- und Handwerkermarkt (Farmers' and Artisans' Market) in Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers is a weekly event that brings the flavours and crafts of the surrounding valleys into the town centre. It takes place in the Atrium of the Tubris Center, along Hugo-von-Taufers-Straße—a welcoming, covered space that allows the market to operate in any season, from spring through winter.

The guiding principle is zero-kilometre: farmers, alpine dairymen, and artisans from the Tures and Aurina Valleys sell their products in person, often sharing stories of how they were cultivated, raised, or crafted. It is a direct way to connect with the region, far removed from the logic of mass retail.

What you will find at the market

The stalls offer a wide range of genuine South Tyrolean specialities:

• Fir honey and other mountain honey varieties;
• Herbal salts, herbal teas, and aromatic plants;
• Alpine cheese, eggs, and dairy products;
• South Tyrolean speck and other cured meats;
• Rye bread, traditional pastries like cherry cake, and poppy seed dumplings;
• Jams and preserves, including lingonberry;
• Traditional spirits and liqueurs, such as stone pine Tirschtlan and juniper grappa;
• Local handicrafts: calendula creams, scented soaps, felt items, and small-batch manufacturing.

An authentic South Tyrolean experience

Surrounded by imposing mountains and pristine forests, the village of Campo Tures is an ideal stop for those seeking the most authentic side of South Tyrol. Many visitors combine a morning hike, perhaps towards the famous Riva Waterfalls, with an afternoon visit to the market, taking home a piece of the Bolzano province's tradition.

The market is organised by the Campo Tures/Sand in Taufers Tourist Association and represents one of the many initiatives in Trentino-Alto Adige that safeguard mountain agriculture and traditional crafts. Admission is free, and the atmosphere is the genuine, friendly one of a small village market.
