Experiences to discover Ladin culture

A small language. A remarkable heritage.

The Ladin language is part of everyday life in Alta Badia. It is spoken at home, in schools, and in village squares, and it has accompanied the history of the Dolomite communities for centuries. During this week, the language becomes the starting point for discovering more about the culture, traditions, and identity of the valley.

For several days, Alta Badia hosts meetings, cultural moments, and activities for those who would like to get closer to the Ladin language. It is an opportunity to understand where this language comes from, how it developed over time, and why it still represents a fundamental part of local life today.

Throughout the week, there are opportunities to learn more and to meet the people who speak Ladin every day. Through stories, conversations, and cultural encounters, visitors can experience a language that has ancient roots and continues to be part of the present.
