Val Badia is the cradle of Ladin culture with its ancient traditions of authentic flavors, folk festivals, and engaging music and songs. In August, for example, during the " Mill Festival" you can learn more about the workings of water mills. While on August 15, "Santa Maria dal Ciüf" is celebrated with its colors, herbs and flowers being blessed. At every festival, there are always parades with traditional costumes, a local band, and a wide range of typical products such as turtres or cajincì, or traditional barley soup or even homemade sweets. All you have to do is taste!
