The Alpine Brown cow is a familiar presence on our mountains and embodies the area’s rich traditions. During the Summer, it grazes on high-altitude pastures, and it’s easy to hear the sound of its cowbell as it feeds on fresh grass; in Winter, instead, it rests warmly in the stable while we enjoy skiing on meadows that have turned into ski slopes. From its milk, rich in Omega-3, delicious cheeses are produced—cheeses you can taste in local restaurants and mountain huts. That’s why it has been given the role of mascot of Pontedilegno–Tonale.

A young skilled local craftswoman has personally made the plush toys depicting our Adamellina Cow. She carefully selected the materials and handcrafted each piece with great attention to detail, spending between 6 and 10 hours on every single one. These are therefore unique items, which may differ slightly from one another precisely because they are not made from a mold, but are the result of the craftsmanship and sensitivity typical of handmade creations.

These plush toys can be purchased at our ticket offices—just ask our staff. The Adamellina Cow is waiting to be adopted so it can keep many children company.
