VAN DAM CHAPULTI UNDER D'FLUA - ANCIENT WALSER PROCESSION
- Procession
Cappelletta in roccia sotto la parete del Flua, Alagna Valsesia
Every first Sunday of October, Alagna Valsesia renews the procession of the Rosario Fiorito, known as 'Van Dam Chapulti Under d'Flua', a devotion that combines faith and mountain hiking. The 2026 edition will take place on Sunday, October 4, on the occasion of Thanksgiving Day. Meeting at 1:30 PM at the small chapel set in the rock below the Flua wall, on the path leading to the Barba Ferrero Refuge. From there, the faithful walk reciting the rosary, descending through the alpine pastures of Safejaz, Blatte, Bitz, Pile, and Stiga to the oratory of Sant'Antonio Abate. At 4:00 PM, a Holy Mass Te Deum is celebrated, as a vow of love for the mountain and thanksgiving for the past summer season. Participants wear traditional costumes and read prayers in the ancient Walser language. The image of the edition is dedicated to the memory of Adriana Prato.
