ALTA BADIA MOUNTAIN PICNIC
ALTA BADIA MOUNTAIN PICNIC
In Alta Badia, in the heart of the Dolomites a UNESCO World Heritage site, picnics are back in fashion. You can order a picnic basket from ten refuges taking part in this initiative and enjoy your meal in the peaceful meadows next to the hut.
It's going to be a different kind of summer this year, even in Alta Badia. Despite this, our region remains a charming place to visit and offers many sports activities and culinary delights to people looking for a holiday surrounded by nature and dedicated to relaxing outdoors.
One of the food and wine proposals is called "Mountain Picnic", which allows visitors to taste the best products of South Tyrol, while comfortably lying in a green pasture at 2000 metres above sea level. Tourists can order a picnic basket with a unique menu at the ten huts taking part in the initiative. Each mountain hut offers a different selection based on local specialities and products. Upon collecting your picnic basket, you'll also be given a blanket - no good picnic is complete without one! - and you can enjoy your picnic in the meadows near the huts. This allows all excursion enthusiasts to choose a safe spot to enjoy lunch.
The baskets can be purchased in advance by contacting the hut or collected directly, with no prior order, at the participating mountain huts.
Once you have finished your picnic, you can bring the baskets back to the hut, showing respect to the natural landscape by leaving the meadow as you found it. The baskets will be sanitised before being used again. Prices range from 20 to 28 Euro per person depending on the menu selection.
