- Information
On 26 and 27 September 2026 the summit of Plan de Corones once again hosts the annual event celebrating gastronomic tradition: the South Tyrolean Speck Festival – Speckfest.
This year's edition promises to be of particular institutional and historical significance, as it will provide the setting for celebrations marking 30 years since the PGI designation was obtained for South Tyrolean Speck.
The event, promoted by the South Tyrolean Speck Protection Consortium in partnership with the Plan de Corones Dolomites region, will take place at 2.275 m above sea level: a unique scenic setting for one of the most popular tourist destinations in every season.
The event area will be easily accessible to the public via the lifts operating from Bruneck/Riscone and Olang/Geiselsberg. The central focus of the event will be PGI South Tyrolean Speck, a symbol of a strong local production tradition.
The programme includes the participation of the Consortium's official exhibitors and selected producers, who will offer the public guided tastings, technical demonstrations and culinary pairings. To complement the gastronomic offering, an exhibition trail dedicated to the typical specialities ofSouth Tyrol, with stands dedicated to local crafts and zero-kilometre products, all accompanied by performances by live traditional music.
To ensure that the event takes place in complete safety and continuity, the organisers have prepared an alternative plan: in the event of adverse weather conditions (rain), the entire event will be moved to the centre of the city of Bruneck, while the programme and offering for the public remain unchanged.
Amid festively decorated mountain huts and the unmistakable aroma of gentle traditional smoking, the Speck Festival – Speckfest 2026 confirms its status as the perfect opportunity to experience the true spirit of South Tyrol, whether you are with your family, a trekking enthusiast or a food explorer.
