Sauris

The name Sauris has always been linked to its exquisite cured ham, with its unmistakably sweet flavour, lightly smoked over beech wood and spiced with juniper and herbs. Its producers today have inherited this ancient tradition and still use the same techniques as their forefathers. Sauris ham is ideally accompanied by the handcrafted, high-quality wholemeal beer which is neither pasteurized nor filtered: a blond Pilsen, a red Vienna, hemp beer and smoked beer, brewed using the properties of the water which bubbles up cool and fresh from the Sauris springs.

Zaharmonie is a music festival with a line up of internationally renowned musicians. The music blends with the genuineness of nature in a calendar of weekly appointments and mountain excursions, where the artists join the audience on walks to some of the most stunning “wildlife spots” in Sauris, with their instruments slung over their shoulder. The magic atmosphere in Sauris inspires art in all its forms: in summer there are a host of wood sculpting workshops; in winter there is a sculpture symposium, “I volti della neve” (The faces of Snow), where enormous piles of snow are shaped by the artists into majestic works of art.
