Lo Pan Ner - The Breads of the Alps

The tenth edition of Lo Pan Ner - I Pani delle Alpi was held on October 18 and 19, 2025, reigniting the community ovens in numerous villages of the Aosta Valley. Among the participating municipalities were: Chamois, Valtournenche, Saint-Christophe, Arnad, Gressoney-La-Trinité, Courmayeur, Rhêmes-Saint-Georges, and La Salle, along with partner municipalities in Piedmont, Lombardy, and Switzerland.

During the two days of the festival, the historic ovens once again baked the traditional rye bread, which was distributed and sold among residents and visitors. The program featured village festivals, convivial moments, show cooking with chefs, bread-making courses, and competitions for the best black bread and creative bread, confirming the event as one of the most cherished traditions of Aosta Valley Alpine culture.
