Vigolana Camina e Magna

A walk where taste meets charity

Vigolana Camina e Magna is one of the most beloved events on the Vigolana Plateau, located in the heart of the Autonomous Province of Trento (Trentino-Alto Adige). Established in 2006, this food and wine walk returns every May, attracting hundreds of families, hikers, and food enthusiasts drawn by its unique blend of gentle sport, alpine scenery, and local cuisine.

The concept is simple and successful: a 12-kilometre loop trail winding through farm roads and nature trails at the foot of the Vigolana mountain range. The route is easy and designed for everyone, from children to seniors, with sections accessible even with a stroller.

Refreshment stops featuring Trentino specialties

The true highlight of the day is the series of gastronomic stops along the route. At each station, hikers can pause to sample traditional local dishes and products, ranging from breakfast with coffee and krapfen to hot mountain-style meals. Recent editions have featured specialties such as spätzle, smacafam, gulasch, and local desserts, paired with apple juice and aperitifs prepared by local farms and producers.

• Start and finish at the Vigolo Vattaro Sports Centre, in the Caolorine area
• Staggered group departures throughout the morning to enjoy the route at a leisurely pace
• Hot and cold dishes at every stop, featuring traditional Trentino products
• Activities and games for children along the way

An event with a charitable heart

Vigolana Camina e Magna is more than just a food festival: it is organised by the Solidarietà Vigolana ODV association, and all proceeds are donated to charity. Over the years, the event has supported international cooperation projects and local solidarity initiatives for families in need, turning a simple walk into a concrete gesture of support.

Discovering the Vigolana Plateau

The event is the perfect opportunity to explore the Vigolana Plateau, a scattered municipality just a few kilometres from Trento that includes the villages of Vigolo Vattaro, Bosentino, Centa San Nicolò, and Vattaro. Surrounded by meadows, forests, and the imposing mass of the Vigolana, the area offers an authentic alpine setting where gastronomic tradition and hospitality come together for a day of conviviality.
