Shepherd's Hut Visit & Local Cheese Tasting

Experience the authentic traditions of the Gran Sasso by visiting a working shepherd's hut (stazzo) on the Campo Imperatore plateau. Learn about traditional sheep farming and cheese production, culminating in a tasting session of local pecorino cheese, ricotta, and other typical products. This intimate experience offers a glimpse into the pastoral life that has shaped the region for centuries. Transport to the stazzo might require a short hike or 4x4 access. Prices typically range from €20-€40 per person, including tasting. Available from late spring to early autumn when shepherds are on the plateau.
