In Trentino, between Folgaria, Lavarone and Luserna, lies the Alpe Cimbra, one of the largest pastures in Europe, a place full of charm during the winter. The Alpe Cimbra has always been a land of great champions of skiing, such as Giulio Corradi, who today works wood, but who was part of the mythical "blue avalanche"; or as Aldo Forrer, "kilometer launched" champion. Near the village of Guardia, known as the painted country, Florian Grott, a wood sculptor who draws inspiration from nature, also lives and works. Among these mountains, we still speak the cimbro, an archaic language introduced by the Bavarian settlers around the year 1000, which the expert Andrea Nicolussi Golo considers a great cultural treasure. Above Luserna there is also the "Refuge Malga Campo", where traditional dishes such as "potato polenta" are cooked. On Lake Lavarone, on the other hand, every year "Under Ice" takes place, an event dedicated to diving under the ice. Myths and legends surround the atmosphere of San Sebastiano di Folgaria, where stands the Maso Guez, a farm run by Andrea Incani that breeds two breeds of goats: the Camosciata of the Alps and the Blonde of the Adamello. In addition, Andrea created the "slambrot" cheese, dedicating it to the ancient dialect spoken by the shepherds of these valleys, where the "first snow cat" was also invented. Finally, the Martinella Choir of Serrada was founded here. His repertoire spans every part of the world and celebrates the union and friendship between peoples.
