On the mountain pastures the sense of community and the attachment are very strong.
A gathering place
Until a few years ago the mountain pastures were places of shelter for shepherds and animals; today they are a gathering place for Premana’s people, especially during summer.
The sense of community and attachment is really strong.
Every Mont (“mountain pasture” in premanese dialect) has its association and its president (“capo alpe”) in order to manage the common spaces.
Every “alpeggio” has a common farmstead which was once used for milking and milk processing; today it’s the usual gathering point for the “alpigiani”.
Thanks to these habits, Premana was able to preserve its traditions and to take care of the mountain territory.
Grazing animals
Every premanese feels part of the community of its Alpeggio and often there are fun squabbles about which “alpeggio” is the best.
Obviously there is never an agreed conclusion!
In many mountain pastures there are stilll grazing animals (cows and goats) and it’s possible to buy dairy products.
The sound of cowbells is the typical background from June to September and it marks the beginning of summer.
In addition to this sound, in many mountain pastures there’s also the sound of the stream flowing.
A paradise for children
Green meadows and fresh air create a paradise for children, who can have fun without danger; it’s a beautiful idea to have a picnic here on the weekend.
In some “alpeggi” you can find family-run “ristori”.
All the mountain pastures are linked (between them and to Premana) by a network of dirt roads, muletracks and paths.

Lööch
Closer to Premana and easily accessible you can find the Lööch, places which hosted cattlesheds and haylofts where the animals stayed during winter. They are surrounded by green meadows and they are perfect for an afternoon outdoor with your family!

The “Grest” and the mountain pastures’ songs
In the past years children who attended Grest (Gruppo Estate- “summer group”) were asked to compose a song for each mountain pasture.
Every Alpeggio has now its own song.
