Prosciuttiamo – Gran Festa del Prosciutto di Saint-Marcel
Eighteen kilometers of festivities along the Via del Prosciutto of Saint-Marcel
About Prosciuttiamo
The Aosta Valley ham festival
Prosciuttiamo – Gran Festa del Prosciutto di Saint-Marcel is one of the most beloved food and wine events in the Aosta Valley. The Municipality of Saint-Marcel, in the Province of Aosta, is a scattered territory that develops vertically, from the valley floor up to 1,800 meters in altitude: it is precisely along this difference in height that the famous Via del Prosciutto unfolds, a route of about eighteen kilometers dotted with tasting points.
The Via del Prosciutto
The heart of the event are the merenderie (mountain refreshment huts) and agriturismos located along the route, where you can taste the renowned Saint-Marcel ham and alpine cuisine specialties. Alongside the tasting stands is the famous Vassoio Prosciuttiamo (Prosciuttiamo Platter), a convivial symbol of the festival. The expected attendance exceeds ten thousand visitors over the three days.
Sport, music, and tradition
Alongside the food, Prosciuttiamo offers the Vertical Saint-Marcel, a mountain running race that takes athletes along the village slopes, and a rich evening music program with concerts and dance nights. A mix of taste, sport, and popular celebration that makes Saint-Marcel a key destination in the Aosta Valley summer.
Prosciuttiamo — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Prosciuttiamo takes place from June 19 to 21 in Saint-Marcel.
