This year’s Chestnut Festival will bring together 41ers from 12 different countries, including many National Presidents, the International President, Past Presidents, Secretaries, Treasurers and Tabler friends from across Europe.

✨ Why join us?

  • Unique international friendship in a relaxed atmosphere
  • Gentle autumn hikes surrounded by stunning Alpine landscapes
  • Delicious Italian and South Tyrolean food
  • Excellent regional wines and, of course, the famous new wine of South Tyrol
  • A festive Saturday evening celebration in a beautifully restored historic venue near Castle Schenna
