DISCOVER THE BEST OF OCTOBER ON THE ALTOPIANO DEL SOLE
Autumn has officially begun and the landscapes of the Altopiano del Sole slowly begin to change their colours, tinged with vibrant hues that create a veritable visual spectacle.
In October, nature prepares to show its most fascinating side, and when the sun shines through the peaks and profiles of the mountains, the paths of the plateau capture the imagination of anyone who sets foot there.
There is also no shortage of enchanted family-friendly places to admire the magic of foliage, a phenomenon not to be missed as the season progresses.
Below, you will find the main events scheduled in October on the Altopiano del Sole (we remind you that they are constantly being updated in the CALENDAR section)
OSSIMO SUPERIORE – CROSS-BORDER FESTIVAL LO PANNER – I PANI DELLE ALPI – 2, 9, 11 AND 14 OCTOBER

This will be followed by an afternoon of music and roasted chestnuts.
BORNO – SABATO 21 OTTOBRE – HAERETICA
Saturday 21 October in Borno “Haeretica” returns, the fixed appointment that evokes the imagery of fear of medieval nights.
In the afternoon, jesters, acrobats, falcon displays and birds of prey in flight, a dark market and themed venues will enliven the streets of the old town centre, while from 10 p.m. onwards the town will descend into the deepest darkness and demons and Satanasses, plague victims, flagellants and heretics will emerge from the shadows for a truly terrifying spectacle.
Not to be missed in the evening is the show ‘Meraviglie de foco’ by the Drago Nero company.
OSSIMO INFERIORE – SUNDAY 22 OCTOBER – ROASTED CHESTNUTS
The traditional pro-asylum chestnut festival in Ossimo Inferiore is scheduled for Sunday, 22 October.
