The Desmalgada in Centrale di Bedollo: The Ritual of the Trentino Autumn

On September 20, 2026, the Piné Plateau prepares to host one of the most authentic events in the mountain calendar: the Desmalgada. In Centrale di Bedollo, time seems to stand still to celebrate the return of the herds from high-altitude pastures, a ritual deeply rooted in the rural history of Trento and its surrounding valleys.

This day is a tribute to tradition. The herds, adorned with flowers and handcrafted decorations, parade through the village streets in a procession that captivates both adults and children. The atmosphere is made even more vibrant by the sounds of live folk music, accompanying visitors through markets filled with local produce and traditional crafts.

The culinary experience is a highlight, with food stalls offering the genuine flavors of the mountains, the result of a long-standing dairy and agricultural heritage. For families, the event offers workshops and rural games designed to introduce children to alpine life in an educational and playful way. Attending the Desmalgada means immersing oneself in an atmosphere of genuine conviviality, where the bond between man, animal, and the landscape is renewed with respect and gratitude.
