OCTOBER ON ALTOPIANO DEL SOLE

Welcome October! When nature is tinged with the colours of foliage and the forests are aglow with shades of gold, red and orange, the Altopiano del Sole takes on a hypnotic charm, inviting you to slow down and immerse yourself in an atmosphere of pure magic.
Thanks to the still mild temperatures, hikers and bikers can venture along the numerous paths that connect the villages. One of the most popular autumn activities is chestnut harvesting, which can be found in the areas of Pat, Creelone, Lozio and Angolo Terme. But what are the October events on the Altopiano del Sole?

We discuss them in this new article.

BORNO

19-20 OCTOBER – HAERETICA

The flagship event of the Bornese autumn, ‘Haeretica’ is the historical re-enactment that takes the small village ‘into the imagery of fear in the medieval night’.
The event will begin in the afternoon of Saturday 19 October, with performances by jesters, hawks in flight, and entertainment for young and old. At nightfall, instead, the streets of the centre will be populated by frightening creatures, such as the Krampus from Pozza di Fassa, who with demonic masks will contribute to creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the dark nights of the Middle Ages.
New this year will be the double appointment with Haeretica on the morning of Sunday 20 October.
At 10.00 a.m., the meeting will take place at the town hall for those who would like to participate in a guided tour with Prof. Francesco Inversini, for a journey to discover the history and mysteries of Borno.

OSSIMO

4- 5 OCTOBER – OSSIMO BEER FEST

The 1st Ossimo Beer Fest kicks off on Friday 4 October. The undisputed protagonist of the event will be beer, served in collaboration with local producers and accompanied by dishes from the food stand for dinner. On Friday evening don’t miss the show of The Raggy Dolls, a rock/alternative cover band with raw and electronic sounds, while on Saturday DJ Man will be playing a DJ set until late at night on the stage of the Ossimo Superiore sports field.
