Edition 2025 — Fëta de l'Ano

In 2025, the Fëta de l'Ano once again animated Ollomont on the third Sunday of July, with the traditional Palio degli Asini and the tasting of donkey meat, polenta, and fontina. A popular festival that draws teams from various Aosta Valley municipalities and curious visitors eager to experience a unique Valpelline tradition.

The 2025 edition of the Fëta de l'Ano confirmed the established format of the festival in Ollomont, Aosta Valley. The heart of the day was the Palio degli Asini, the race between teams of three people who compete to guide the donkey along the course, amidst fun and unpredictability.

The gastronomic aspect was not forgotten, with the tasting of donkey meat accompanied by polenta, fontina, and local cheeses, a symbol of Valpelline's mountain cuisine. The festival, born in the seventies to commemorate the role of donkeys in transport to the mountain pastures and in mining activities, brought the community and numerous visitors together in an atmosphere of popular celebration.

Highlights
