The small village of Miola on Altopiano di Piné has become famous over time for El Paés dei Cribs.
The event celebrates the custom of the inhabitants to set up dozens and dozens of cribs, some handcrafted and others of considerable artistic value, such as the mobile crib of the Anesin Family, on the windows and in the ancient arcades during the Christmas period. It is a real tradition that is enriched by games among the nativity scenes and lots of entertainment for the whole family.

- DISCOVER the HIDDEN object: find the mysterious objects among the cribs and search for René, scan the QR Codes and win!
