Edition 2025 — La Veillà
In 2025, La Veillà once again transported one of Cogne's hamlets back in time, with the evening re-enactment of ancient mountain crafts and a gastronomic tour of flavours from the past. Blacksmiths, shoemakers, and wool spinners animated the village streets until late evening.
In 2025, La Veillà confirmed its charm: an evening immersion into the Alpine peasant civilisation of Cogne. Among the stone houses of the village, the gestures of ancient crafts returned — blacksmiths, shoemakers, women spinning wool — while the gastronomic route offered a taste of Aosta Valley traditions. An authentic experience that, year after year, enlivens the valley's various hamlets.

Re-enactment of ancient crafts; traditional gastronomic route.
