Magnatonda de Caoriana

Magnatonda de Caoriana

The Magnatonda de Caoriana is one of the most beloved food and wine walks of the Trentino autumn. It takes place in Capriana, a small village in the Cembra Valley overlooking the Fiemme Valley, in the province of Trento, in the heart of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The event, whose name in the local dialect literally evokes the idea of "eating while walking" around Caoriana (Capriana), is organized by the Pro Loco Capriana Da l'Aves al Corn APS in collaboration with local associations.

A 14 km loop of taste and nature

The route is a 14 km loop starting from Piazza Roma, in the center of Capriana, and winds through the village streets and the trails that cross the woods up to the borders with Anterivo and the Monte Corno Nature Park. The trail is designed to be suitable for everyone: families can even tackle it with trekking strollers, following the slow pace of the gastronomic stops.

Seven zero-mile gastronomic stops

Along the way, participants encounter seven food stands that accompany the entire day, from breakfast to chestnuts. The stages follow the rhythm of a true peasant festival:

• starting breakfast;
• aperitif along the trail;
• lunch with traditional autumn dishes;
• seasonal fruit and dessert;
• coffee and a final rustic snack.

All products are zero-mile and come from the valley's local supply chains, with a special focus on sustainability: each participant receives a reusable kit of plates and cutlery to reduce waste.

Theater, guided tours, and traditions

Magnatonda is not just about good food. Along the route, moments of entertainment and culture alternate: theatrical performances with the Feisbuk Sisters, demonstrations by the Volunteer Firefighters, the recreational stand of the Monte Corno Nature Park, and guided tours to symbolic local landmarks such as the small church of Carbonare and the Mulino della Meneghina. It is a way to discover the history, craftsmanship, and popular traditions of this corner of Trentino.

A limited-capacity event

Magnatonda de Caoriana is a limited-capacity event with mandatory booking: registration includes all gastronomic stops and activities along the route. The format, now in its many consecutive editions, has made this appointment an autumn classic for lovers of slow tourism, nature, and the genuine flavors of the Trentino mountains.
