DISCOVERING THE NATURAL HERBS OF THE DOLOMITES AND HIGH-ALTITUDE FLOWERS

Experiencing the mountains also means learning to read them, to recognize their scents and to bring them to the plate. In July and during the first week of September, Ambra Cortina invites you to discover the most authentic and hidden soul of our meadows with an exclusive sensory experience, surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Passo Giau.

Guiding you on this botanical and gastronomic journey will be Luigi Dariz, Chef of the renowned restaurant Da Aurelio and certified expert in mountain herbs. A true guardian of the secrets of the native flora of the Dolomites.
