Agritur Malga Venegiota

In the heart of Val Venegia, beneath the magnificent Pale di San Martino, there is a place where the mountains can still be experienced in a simple and authentic way. This is Malga Venegiota, a traditional mountain dairy farm built in stone and wood, where the warmth of the open fire still accompanies the preparation of local dishes.

Here, the cuisine carries the flavours of Primiero. Polenta is cooked over the fire and served with Tosèla and sausage, while the menu changes according to the availability of local ingredients and the inspiration of the kitchen. Mushroom soups, local rabbit, oven-baked pork ribs, canederlotti with Fontal di Primiero and other traditional specialities may find their way onto the menu. Homemade desserts complete the meal, to be enjoyed indoors or outside, surrounded by meadows and one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Dolomites.

Tosèla, the traditional fresh cheese of Primiero, is one of the house specialities and expresses the deep connection between the malga and its surroundings. The milk from the alpine pastures is processed by Caseificio di Primiero, and some of its cheeses can also be purchased directly at the malga, allowing visitors to take home a taste of the mountains.

Getting to Malga Venegiota is part of the experience. During the summer, it can be reached on foot with an easy walk of about an hour from Pian dei Casoni. For those looking for something a little more special, it is also possible to arrive by horse-drawn carriage, upon reservation.

Warm family hospitality, genuine flavours and an extraordinary mountain setting make Malga Venegiota a place to enjoy without rushing. A place where sitting down for a meal also means rediscovering the rhythm of the mountains, surrounded by meadows, pastures and the magnificent Pale di San Martino.
