Full moon events

A relaxed mood under the stars, with gastronomic delicacies that reflect their star-studded creators and visually bring the universe onto your plate: rice pudding in the style of the Milky Way, dumplings that depict a lunar eclipse, Pluto mozzarella and numerous other heavenly dishes. At full moon the Val d'Ega becomes a celestial stage for events, with sufficient culinary conviviality to make anyone starry-eyed!

Star treks in summer

Every Friday during the summer months of July and August the star village offers an astronomically special day: starting at 10:00 in the South Tyrol Planetarium with a screening in two languages, followed by a walk in the company of an astronomer on the planet path at San Valentino di Sopra (approx. 1½ hours) and, after a break for lunch, a view of the sun at 15:00 through the telescope of the solar observatory.
