WHAT TO EXPECT/ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Do you want to experience what it’s really like to be a shepherd? Has farm work always fascinated you? Would you like to drop everything and move to the mountains? Try spending a morning with our shepherd to see if high-altitude living is right for you! The sheep, the altitude, the smell of cut grass and freshly cut wood will be the setting for a true shepherd's experience that’ll take you far away from your daily grind for a fun adventure. And there’s an appetising surprise in store for you to round off the experience.

WHO ARE WE
The experience is organised by the Mezzana Marilleva Consortium in partnership with the Caseificio Sociale Presanella dairy cooperative and the Casa dell’Ape. The Presanella dairy cooperative collects the milk produced by farmers in the Upper Val di Sole. With care and dedication, it carefully and lovingly processes it into premium cheese, including Trentingrana, Nostrano, Casolèt della Val di Sole (Slow Food presidium) and ricotta, fully respecting nature and the age-old local cheesemaking traditions. The Casa dell’Ape is located in Ortisè and makes mountain honey, maintaining high levels of quality and authenticity. Made only in small amounts, Val di Sole honey is a rare and special honey.
