Mèngia e viègia i li èlp - Mangia e cammina sugli alpi

"Mangia e cammina sugli alpi" (Eat and walk on the alps) is a food and wine walk along an 8.6 km path of medium difficulty, leading from Alpe Cruina di Osco to Ronco.

The walk passes through enchanting landscapes, which, together with the culinary delicacies on offer, all scrupulously from the region, will make it a special event for everyone. In four stages, regional gastronomic delicacies accompanied by Ticino wines will be offered.

We are talking about more than 2000 hours of voluntary work by about 100 friends of the Pro Bedretto, 150 kg of cheese and the same number of cold cuts and mortadella, more than 120 kg of polenta, 300 bottles of wine, 400+ litres of beer and more than 900 litres of soft drinks. Very large figures for a maximum of 1,200 participants.

At the last stage there will be a communal lunch and the opportunity to buy some of the products that were offered during the walk, at the market set up for the occasion. The afternoon will be enlivened with live music.

Useful advice for participants: the route is practicable for people with a minimum of fitness. It is not possible to walk the route with buggies. Clothing and footwear suitable for the mountains and the expected weather conditions must be worn. Payment is required at the time of registration by credit card.
 

Departure by coach to Alpe Cruina is scheduled between 07:30 and 10:30 from Ronco, at the Cava Leonardi, where there is parking. The departure time must be indicated by the participants at the time of registration and cannot be changed. On arrival at Alpe Cruina, all participants will receive a pass for unlimited food and drink throughout the day.

The organising committee will adapt the walk depending on the weather and trail conditions. Any cancellations will be announced the day before the event at 7 p.m. by e-mail to the person responsible for registration and on the website.
