Mountain Festival

An Alpine celebration by Pro Loco Flavon

The Mountain Festival is the most anticipated summer event organized by the Pro Loco Flavon, a volunteer association based in the municipality of Contà, in Val di Non, within the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). Traditionally held on the second Sunday of July, the festival transforms the Rifugio Doss de la Quarta into a vibrant meeting point for the Flavon community and the many hikers who choose to spend a day in the mountains.

The walk to Rifugio Doss de la Quarta

The program begins in the village with a mountain walk that leads participants to the refuge, situated at an altitude of 1,653 meters in the Campa sub-group, inside the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park. The trail, perfect for those who enjoy walking through forests and pastures, offers a chance to discover an authentic corner of the Brenta Dolomites, far from the more crowded spots of Val di Non.

Polenta, tradition, and music

Once at the destination, the day continues with the most convivial moment: a traditional polenta lunch prepared by the Pro Loco volunteers, followed by an afternoon of music and singing. It is a genuine expression of Trentino's folk traditions, where mountain culture, hospitality, and local cuisine blend together in a single day outdoors.

National Pro Loco Day

The Flavon Mountain Festival is part of the National Pro Loco Day, an initiative promoted by UNPLI (National Union of Pro Loco of Italy). Every year, on the weekend of the second Sunday of July, this event connects local associations across Italy to showcase the vital work of volunteers in their communities. In Trentino, the initiative involves around 240 Pro Loco and twenty thousand volunteers, coordinated by the Trentino Pro Loco Federation.

An event for the whole family

With its mix of hiking, good food, and music, the Mountain Festival is designed for families, walkers, and mountain enthusiasts alike. It is a simple and authentic way to experience summer at high altitude in the municipality of Contà and to support the activities of the Pro Loco Flavon, the guardians of tradition in this corner of Val di Non.
