Primiero

Dairy production is the hallmark of agriculture in Primiero. The local dairy accounts for 10 percent of the cheese production and markets the famous Tosella (Tosèla), fresh white cheese cut into slices, made from freshly milked milk, cooked in butter or grilled - a direct dive into the scent of these mountains' meadows. Mushrooms, dark honey and other local cheeses enrich the simple but tasty products of Primiero. 

The Caseificio di Primiero, based in Mezzano, has more than 60 members, plus about 15 farmers who work only during the summer pasture period. it cares for the alpine pastures and runs two agritourisms, a testament to the increasingly close relationship between guest culture and the enhancement of local products.

Primiero is a wide alpine basin enclosed by the spectacular Pale di San Martino and Vette Feltrine peaks. The sun's rays striking the rocky spires of the Pale at sunset are spectacular: all the way up to the Cimon, nearly 3,200 meters of sculptures and rock walls seem to reach for the clouds. From the moonscapes of the mountain plateaus to the green valley floor, nature here is powerful and harmonious. In the past, miniere of iron, silver, copper and the exploitation of wood in the service of the Serenissima Republic of Venice sustained the economy. 

Scattered farmsteads, quaint villages with intact historic centers, stone and wooden houses, ancient fountains and wash-houses, woodpiles that become works of art, as in Mezzano - all these things make every corner of Primiero's villages romantic. Today, tourism in the four seasons is increasingly slow. Another small enchanted kingdom is the more defiladed Vanoi Valley. Here there is no shortage of water, starting with the Cismòn stream.  The Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino Nature Park is the added value of the strong naturalness of this corner of Trentino: it skillfully combines the environmental values of the forest and those of the natural rock monuments that are the Dolomites.
