The monthly farmers' and craft market in the Passeier Valley
The Mårtiner Genuss Marktl is a monthly event that transforms the center of St. Martin in Passeier, in the province of Bolzano (South Tyrol), into a vibrant farmers' and craft market featuring local, zero-mile products. Every first Saturday of the month, from March to November, the village's Festplatz fills with stalls showcasing the authenticity and culinary culture of the Passeier Valley.
At the heart of the event are the region's typical flavors: honey, alpine cheeses, speck, local wine and beer, as well as fresh bread, homemade pasta, Tyrolean krapfen, and fragrant apple strudel. Visitors can taste and purchase directly from the producers in a convivial atmosphere that combines daily shopping with the pleasure of discovering genuine specialties.
Alongside the gastronomy, the market highlights traditional South Tyrolean craftsmanship: felt items, wood carvings, and decorations created by local artisans. There is also a wide selection of mountain herbal products, such as creams, ointments, scented pillows, and natural herbal teas prepared with herbs from the valley.
With its monthly schedule throughout the beautiful season, the Mårtiner Genuss Marktl is more than just a market: it is an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of a typical Passeier Valley village, meet the producers, and bring home a piece of South Tyrolean authenticity. The event is organized by the Passeier Valley Tourist Board and takes place in the heart of St. Martin, outdoors and with free admission.
The 2026 calendar for the Mårtiner Genuss Marktl includes nine market days at the Festplatz in St. Martin in Passeier, always from 8:00 AM to 12:30 PM: March 7, April 4, May 2, June 6, July 4, August 1, September 5, October 3, and November 7, 2026. At each event, stalls offer honey, alpine cheeses, speck, local wine and beer, bread, krapfen, and strudel, alongside felt and wood crafts and mountain herbal products.
Admission is free and the event is organized by the Passeier Valley Tourist Board.
