Summer Marktl am Hoferhof
Summer farmers' craft market in Velloi, above Lagundo
About Summer Marktl Hoferhof
A farmers' market at the foot of the Texel Group
The Summer Marktl am Hoferhof is a delightful summer market celebrating rural craftsmanship. It brings the Hoferhof farm to life during summer evenings in the village of Velloi/Vellau, a mountain hamlet located at approximately 970 meters above sea level in the municipality of Lagundo/Algund, near Merano, in South Tyrol. The event is hosted at a farm certified by the Red Rooster (Roter Hahn) network, which promotes authentic South Tyrolean rural crafts.
Handmade crafts and local materials
The market brings together regional artisans offering unique, entirely handmade pieces, ranging from meticulously crafted small items to textile creations and home decor. The Hoferhof is particularly renowned for its South Tyrolean sheep's wool products—including cushions, blankets, rugs, and crochet items—made from the wool of the mountain sheep raised on the farm. It is a wonderful opportunity to discover authentic craftsmanship, far removed from mass production, and to chat directly with the makers.
Local flavors with the Fire Brigade
The culinary side of the event is managed by the Velloi Volunteer Fire Brigade, who run a stand serving local gastronomic specialties. Surrounded by orchards, meadows, and panoramic views of the Merano basin and the peaks of the Texel Group, the market offers a relaxed, social atmosphere perfect for families and hikers.
Dates and times
The Summer Marktl takes place on three Saturdays between June and August, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM. For the 2026 edition, the dates are June 14, July 12, and August 9. The market is cancelled in case of bad weather.
How to reach Velloi
Velloi/Vellau can be reached by car or via the Lagundo–Velloi chairlift, which climbs from Algund through vineyards and forests. There are also hiking trails connecting the village to the valley floor. Visitors arriving by car will find parking near the Velloi bus stop, about a 10-minute walk from the farm; the last urban bus returning to Lagundo departs at 10:00 PM.
