25/10/2025: Trattoria dei Cacciatori (in Italy's smallest municipality)
If you're looking for an authentic mountain retreat—away from the hustle and bustle—then Trattoria dei Cacciatori in Morterone is a truly worthwhile stop. This small village in Valsassina is the least populated municipality in Italy.
The trattoria is historic: run for years by a family that has preserved the local mountain and culinary traditions. Today, an interesting generational change is taking place: the Viviana sisters (and her partner) are joining their parents, bringing new energy without losing sight of their history. The result? A beautiful vision for Morterone: continuity + innovation, respecting the context.
On the menu, you'll find typical Valsassina dishes, local and authentic ingredients, and—a special mention—the homemade cakes: always excellent and worthy of a second course.
The service is familiar, informal, yet attentive. The parents (who deserve respect for their dedication) welcome guests with kindness, while the sisters bring vision and freshness to the project.
If you pass through Morterone, not only for trekking or to breathe good air, but also to eat well, go to Trattoria dei Cacciatori. And you will be able to say that you supported a piece of community that keeps the mountain alive.
