Full description
Delicious in every way: let’s talk about her, Her Majesty Polenta!
If, like us, you love it too, here’s a mountain refuge that features it as the star of this tasting menu, based on traditional mountain dishes from the Stura Valley.
Whether it’s concia-style, with ragù or with mushrooms: the important thing is to enjoy it piping hot, just as tradition dictates!
What we will do
The meeting point is at the Ferrere mountain refuge, in the hamlet of Argentera (CN), set against the stunning natural backdrop of the Stura Valley.
You will be welcomed by the staff and shown to your table to begin your lunch of traditional dishes, prepared with passion and respect for tradition.
The tasting menu will consist of the following:
- Salami with bread, butter and homemade pickled vegetables
- Polenta with two sauces (one cheese-based and one meat-based, or, on request, a vegetable ragù made with lentils)
- A dessert of the house’s choice
The children’s menu (for children up to 12 years old) includes: tagliatelle with ragù or a half portion of polenta and a dessert.
After lunch, you can relax outside the mountain hut or set off along one of the many hiking trails in the area.
Who it is aimed at
This experience is ideal for groups of friends, families or couples. For children up to the age of 12, a children’s menu is available at €10. 00 per person.
