Mountain foraging
Who to go with, where to go, and when to collect wild plants... to enjoy them at their best
SUMMER 2024 - Whether it's for fashion, passion, curiosity, because they’re great tasting, or just to spend time in nature, you have so many opportunities to enjoy foraging in Trentino this summer.
Because here, the tradition of collecting edible wild greens, berries, fruits and medicinal plants is as old as the hills and widely practised.
As well as guaranteeing a supply of food and contributing to building the culinary traditions you probably already know and love within our valleys, foraging is a fun activity for the whole family to enjoy. And we provide the experts!
From meadow to meal
A truly relaxing experience to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Noris, the "Lady of the wild plants", will lead you on an exploration along mysterious trails during which you’ll pause to collect wild plants which will then become tasty dishes to be savoured. You can enjoy this experience every Tuesday from 18 July to 29 August, in Val Rendena.
Foraging and survival: herbs you can eat
Every Monday, from April to October, it is foraging time in Valle dei Mocheni. While it might seem strange to city-dwellers, this practice is second nature to mountain folk. Here, where the forest is a natural kitchen garden of the season’s first bounty, you will learn to spot, pick and taste the most delicious wild herbs.
Mountain farmers
From June to September, every Friday, Aurora and Alessandro open the doors of their Agritur Ciasa dò Paré in Soraga to introduce you to medicinal herbs, as well as artisanal honey, a Slow Food Presidium, delicious organic cheeses, and vegetables.
