Festa della Birra a Caduta di Rhêmes-Notre-Dame

A Different Kind of Beer Festival

The Festa della Birra a Caduta (Gravity Beer Festival) in Rhêmes-Notre-Dame, a small municipality in the Province of Aosta nestled in the Gran Paradiso National Park, is an event that defies the clichés of typical beer festivals. Here, the watchword is quality: Ganter beer, unpasteurised and without added gas, is tapped "gravity-style" and served in half-litre and one-litre glass mugs to preserve its organoleptic qualities.

In the Pavilions of Frazione Bruil

The festival takes place in Frazione Bruil, the main village, in two connected and fully heated pavilions that offer shelter from the unpredictable high mountain weather. Alongside the beer, the kitchen offers typical Aosta Valley dishes, while live music accompanies the evenings. Ample parking and a free camping area are available for those who want to enjoy the festival without worrying about the journey home.

An End-of-Summer Event

Scheduled for the second-to-last weekend of August, the Festa della Birra a Caduta is organised by the Pro Loco of Rhêmes-Notre-Dame and is one of the most beloved events in the Rhêmes Valley. It's an opportunity to discover one of the most picturesque corners of the Aosta Valley, where the conviviality of good beer meets the wild beauty of Gran Paradiso.
