  • Corner of typical old Alpine timber hut in the Pralongià above San Cassiano-St. Kassian in the Dolomites, south Tyrol, northern Italy. In winter, the Pralongià meadows are the heart of Alta Badia’s skiing area. The oldest barns in this region are called Tierstaller and follow the same basic design: That of for warmth in the long, hard winters in the mountains and for coolness in the hot summers. But farming has changed dramatically in the Alps. Barns reflect and accompany this transformation. In villages and open landscapes, more and more barns are abandoned, used for other purposes, or falling into disrepair. Contemporary farmers build new barns for stockbreeding, fruit storage, and wine pressing. San Leonardo is in the municipality of Badia populated mostly by people who speak the ancient Ladin language.

  • Grazing Alpine cows in a field where a chairlift operates overhead in Leonhard-St Leonardo, a Dolomites village in the Badia region of south Tyrol, Italy. Peering over the fence we see the cow in summer sunshine with ample supplies of fresh grass to feed on. South Tyrolean freshness begins on family farms with an average of 12 cows each. Every day, the mountains farmers at 800 to 2000 m above sea level make sure that their South Tyrolean milk gets from the cow to the refrigerator within 24 hours. South Tyrolean milk is naturally also used to make cheese. The region has over 90 different types of cheese - the most famous being Dolomiti, Alta Badia and Pustertaler mountain cheese.
