If you are in Trentino around Christmas and you have some time to spare than we recommend a visit to Miola di Pine' near Baselga di Pine' in Val di Cembra. Every year this little village organises an interesting open air exhibition of various nativity scenes, scattered around the narrow village streets. During the time of "El Paes dei Presepi", as the exhibition is called, you'll have a chance to try some of the region's traditional dishes and sweets. Other attractions include live music and farm animals. There is also a little competition in which you can win one free entry ticket to the ice stadium. The way it works is at the beginning of your walk around Miola you get the booklet with the snippets of some of the figures from the nativity scenes. We got the booklet from a place right in the centre of Miola where the cribs are. During your walk you must spot the figures and put the correct stamp next to the picture in your book. My kids loved collecting all the stamps in their booklet and it added an interesting twist and some thrill to going and seeing the cribs.
Opening times 2010:
4-5-6-7-8-11-12-18-19 December 2010 and from 26 December 2010 to 6 January 2011. If you go there between 2pm and 6pm you should be able to see something.
