Marcé di pöresc - Flea Market

A flea market in the Dolomites

The Marcé di pöresc - Flea Market is a summer tradition dedicated to second-hand goods and antiques, held in Corvara in Badia, in the heart of the South Tyrol Dolomites. The event's name is in Ladin, the historic language of Val Badia: "Marcé di pöresc" literally means flea market, an expression that reflects the cultural identity of this corner of the Bolzano province.

What to find at the stalls

The market offers a wide range of second-hand items and antiques: vintage furniture, tableware, books, retro toys, traditional farming tools, vinyl records, second-hand clothing, and all sorts of curiosities. It is the ideal destination for collectors and vintage enthusiasts, as well as for holidaymakers looking for an unusual souvenir or simply wanting to stroll through the stalls in an informal and convivial atmosphere.

When and where

The event takes place in the market square of Corvara, along Str. Col Alt, easily accessible on foot from the town centre. The market is held on select Sundays throughout the summer, from early morning until evening, taking advantage of the long, mild days in the high mountains. Admission is free, and the setting, framed by the peaks of the Sella Group and Sassongher, makes the visit particularly picturesque.
