5th Mountain Honey and Undergrowth Fruit Festival
The fifth edition of the event will take place on Sunday 6 September, featuring local products, music and Alpine tradition
USSEGLIO (TO) – A small celebration with an authentic character, gathered in one of the most evocative corners of Usseglio. The Mountain Honey and Undergrowth Fruit Festival, organized by the Usseglio Pro Loco, returns for its fifth edition on Sunday, September 6, 2026.
The event will take place inside the ancient parish complex, in a deliberately intimate and evocative area, where a small exhibition of producers and themed stands will accompany visitors on a discovery of the mountain’s flavors and traditions. An intimate setting, far from the big fairs, which values the direct relationship between the public and producers and the atmosphere of the Alpine village.
The local producers’ market will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with special offerings dedicated to mountain honey and undergrowth fruits, along with other local specialties.
Rounding out the day will be the music of the choir “I Polifonici delle Alpi”, which will perform at 3:30 pm in a concert dedicated to songs of love, war, and nature, a repertoire rooted in the culture and tradition of Alpine communities.
Throughout the event, it will also be possible to visit the Alpine Civic Museum “Arnaldo Tazzetti”, open to the public for the occasion, thus offering visitors the opportunity to learn about Usseglio’s historical and cultural heritage.
Space, of course, for gastronomy too. The Pro Loco will have a refreshment point where you can taste sweets, a special tasting dish with tome and honey and the characteristic “Mac Usoei”, a sandwich with mountain toma and turgia salami.
A simple and collected day, designed to meet producers and the region, savor the excellence of the Viù Valley, and rediscover, through music, culture, and gastronomy, the authenticity of the mountain.
The meeting will take place on Sunday, September 6, 2026, in Usseglio, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm, in the ancient parish complex.
