Festa Paesana di Ferragosto - Santa Caterina Valfurva

The community's Ferragosto

Ferragosto in Santa Caterina Valfurva has the flavour of a village festival. On August 15th, in the municipality of Valfurva (province of Sondrio), the community gathers at the Circolo Sportivo Madonna dei Monti for the traditional Festa Paesana, a moment of sharing that has marked the summer of this Alta Valtellina resort for years.

Communal lunch and lottery

The heart of the day is the communal lunch, an opportunity for everyone - residents and tourists alike - to sit together and enjoy traditional dishes in good company. There is also the classic lottery, with prizes and lots of fun, in a familiar and welcoming atmosphere that is the hallmark of mountain festivals.

A summer full of events

The Festa Paesana di Ferragosto is part of Santa Caterina Valfurva's lively summer calendar, which in mid-August offers numerous events combining sport, tradition, and gastronomy. It is one of those events that tell the most authentic soul of the village, away from the big events and close to its people.

At the foot of Stelvio Park

Santa Caterina Valfurva is a renowned mountain resort nestled in the Stelvio National Park. Celebrating Ferragosto here means combining the pleasure of a village festival with the beauty of a spectacular alpine landscape, in one of the most charming municipalities in the province of Sondrio.
