Tradition and Innovation in the Sardagna Chestnut Grove: A Journey into the Heart of Trentino

The call of nature and tradition resonates on May 24, 2026, with a unique experience inviting you to discover the secrets of the Sardagna landscape, just outside Trento. This excursion is designed for those wishing to immerse themselves in the history and agricultural innovation of a territory that has always linked its identity to the chestnut tree.

The adventure will begin at first light, at 8:00 AM, from Piazza Santi Filippo e Giacomo. A walk of approximately one hour, with a moderate elevation gain of 80 meters, will lead participants to the evocative locality of Baloton. Here, wonder unfolds before majestic secular chestnut trees, some of which have defied time for nearly four hundred years. These silent giants represent a living testament to a past where the chestnut was a pillar of life and sustenance for local communities, truly a ‘bread tree’.

The journey will then continue towards Spiazzi del Bazoert, where the past meets the future. Here, visitors will have the opportunity to explore a new plantation, a developing chestnut grove with 120 young trees grafted with the prized “Marrone di Sardagna” ecotype. Expert technicians will be on hand to share knowledge on modern cultivation and management techniques, to illustrate phytosanitary challenges, and to outline the promising prospects for valuing this precious crop.

This is an opportunity to connect deeply with the Trentino region, observing how history, nature, and agriculture intertwine in a fascinating narrative. This excursion is not merely a walk, but an educational and sensory journey, a tribute to the resilience of nature and human ingenuity.
