A historic mountain-community festival at the foot of the Belluno Prealps, built around s'cios — snails, cooked alla borgognona — with a full ton prepared each year. The exact recipe is a closely guarded secret, kept by volunteers sworn not to reveal it. Also features a vintage car rally and trail races named after the snail itself.
