Green pastures, beautiful expanses of pine trees overlooking picturesque steep cliffs, geological sculptures, larch and fir forests where the calls of peaks and the voice of expert hunters, such as the raptor, resound.
This is the view that can be enjoyed in Val San Nicolò, not far from Pozza di Fassa. The place is famous both for the view of the Marmolada and the Catinaccio, and for the waterfalls that emerge from the source of the river that gives its name to the valley. As you climb to the top, walk or ride a mountain bike, you can see the silhouettes of many wild animals: ermine, marten, mountain francolini. If you continue further on, you will enter the air realm of the golden eagle. An emotion to which few remain indifferent. The scene is not just stolen from the fairytale landscape. In fact, the historical aspects are interesting (the traces of the Great War are still very evident), religious (the Via Crucis and the church at the entrance to the valley, the wooden chapel dedicated to Santa Maria delle Vette), alpine (the care of the pastures that look like embroidered carpets) and botanical (the presence of very rare species).

STRONG POINT
