In the heart of Corvara, the street transforms for one day into a vibrant place of connection. Le lüch te paisc comes to life: a celebration of the land, of the people who cultivate it with dedication, and of the knowledge passed down through generations.
Local producers bring to the village what has defined their farms for centuries: aged mountain cheeses, golden honey, wild herbs, and ancient grains. Together with local chefs, they create authentic and creative dishes, made precisely with these ingredients. A cuisine rooted here – born from the close dialogue between farming and culinary art.
As the flavors of the region come to life on the plate, stories unfold all around – through scents, sounds, and smiles: a botanist revealing the secrets of alpine herbs, a beekeeper in harmony with his bees, a cheesemaker who knows every stage and shape of his craft – and many more waiting to be discovered.
The closed-off street of Corvara turns into a true open-air market. Visitors can meet beekeepers, cheesemakers, farmers, and herbalists in person, who present and sell their products: organic honey, artisanal cheeses, alpine herbs, local flours, and preserves. The food stands, run by local restaurateurs and associations, offer dishes prepared with the same ingredients, providing a genuine farm-to-table experience. Craft beers, natural juices, and other regional beverages complete the offer. The entire event is accompanied by live music from !nes and Aurela Cörta.
Ps. In case of bad weather, the event will be postponed to Monday the 4th oh August.

Is it a market?
Yes, but not the kind you rush through. No shouting, no hurry. Just time – the time it takes for cheese to age, for bread to rise, for bees to dance around their queen. You don’t come here to shop. You come here to listen, to taste, to understand.
What happens when you really slow down?
You start to see. The cheesemaker’s hands, steady and sure. The glint in someone’s eye as they name a wild herb by scent alone. A story about barley, planted by hand and harvested with care. And suddenly, food feels like something sacred again.
Who are the real stars here?
Hands. The ones that milk, knead, stir, harvest. Voices that carry the language of the land. Smiles that don’t need translating. Le lüch te paisc belongs to those who stay – and those who choose to return.
What do you take home?
Maybe a taste that lingers. A story you didn’t expect. A name jotted down on a scrap of paper – the beekeeper with that unforgettable honey. Or maybe just a quiet question that stays with you: What does “good” really mean?
