Sunrise of the Word: Readings and reflections at high altitude with Dolomites writer Matteo Righetto.

On Col Margherita, before the sun fully illuminates the peaks, there is a space dedicated to listening: Matteo Righetto recounts the Dolomites through the words of someone who knows them, lives them and writes about them.

Through readings from his novels, the author will take the audience on a journey through landscapes, stories and his deep, moving connection with the Dolomites, in an event where literature and nature come together.

In conversation with journalist Elisa Salvi, the writer shares stories, reflections and insights born from observing the mountains, their landscapes and the people who live there.

A truly unique experience.

The Col Margherita cable car at Passo San Pellegrino opens at 4.45 am, giving everyone the chance to ascend to 2,500 metres and watch the sun rise from the ‘Dolomiti Viewpoint’ panoramic balcony.

A dawn gathering dedicated to the mountains as a place of contemplation, silence and connection with nature.
