In the heart of Trentino, in a charming spot not far from Rovereto, an event is preparing to merge the eccentricity of a British tradition with the allure of our mountains. On May 30 and 31, 2026, San Valentino di Brentonico will host the Italian Cheese Rolling Championship, a one-of-a-kind event inspired by the famous Welsh cheese race.
Imagine a black ski slope, transformed for the occasion into a theatre of breathtaking challenges. Here, intrepid participants will chase a five-kilogram cheese wheel down steep inclines that test balance and courage. It is more than just a race; it is a spectacle of pure adrenaline, where staying upright is nearly impossible, and the descent becomes a whirlwind of fun and unexpected tumbles.

The event unfolds over two days packed with activities. On Saturday, after the opening of the food stalls, an engaging tug-of-war competition will take place, followed by a vibrant DJ set that will energize the evening with music and entertainment. Sunday will see the culmination of the celebrations with the “Vertical Cheese Rolling,” an uphill climb on the steep slope, and of course, the 14th Italian Cheese Rolling Championship, where finalists will vie for the coveted title. Completing the picture, a light-hearted beer and sausage competition will add a touch of cheer and local flavor to the day.
The Brentonico Cheese Rolling is more than a sporting competition. It is an opportunity to experience the authentic atmosphere of the region, share laughter, and be swept away by the energy of a festival that celebrates community spirit and the love for unconventional challenges. An experience not to be missed, whether as a spectator or, for the more daring, as a participant.
