Autumn Treasures

In the crisp atmosphere of autumn, when the leaves dance to the gentle sound of the wind and the scent of wet earth fills the air, embark on a unique foraging experience in the picturesque Val di Sole, in the heart of Trentino. The valley is transformed into a natural stage, where the bounty of the earth is revealed through succulent fruits, aromatic roots and mysterious mushrooms.

Already at the first step into the woods, the golden carpet of crunchy leaves welcomes you into autumn, the season of many flavours and colours. Val di Sole proves to be the ideal territory for foraging, with a wealth of natural treasures ready to be discovered.

The hawthorn, with its red fruits and serrated leaves, is a precious gift in the autumn harvest. Its delicate aroma and slightly sweet flavour make the fruit ideal for teas and infusions. Harvesting requires care to avoid thorns, but the reward is a cup of refreshing drink enriched with heart-healthy properties and an excellent remedy against anxiety, stress and insomnia.

Walnuts, with their tough shell, require some effort to open, but the rich, buttery taste repays the effort. Hazelnuts, on the other hand, are a gift wrapped in a leathery shell. Their intense flavour and crunchy texture make these little gems culinary gems, perfect for enriching sweet and savoury dishes.

If you walk through the forest and find a carpet of yellow spiny shells, take a good look. That's where chestnuts are kept. Harvesting these autumn fruits requires a certain delicacy, but their rich and nutritious flavour completes the foraging experience with a unique and colourful touch.

Nature, generous and varied in autumn, offers a palette of tastes that reflects its richness and vibrant spirit.
