Val di Fiemme is encircled by two natural parks, so close to each other but extremely different.
They are very different though very near - the coppice sub-Mediterranean wood of the Natural Park of Monte Corno and the “Forest of violins” of the Natural Park of Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino. The first presents the most varies species of birds and even pitcher plants, the latter houses a deer reservation among the resonance spruces whose sounding properties were discovered by Stradivari and luthiers from all over the world are still appreciating.
Moreover, at the feet of the mount Corno Bianco, one of the peaks that Unesco declared World Heritage Site, you can experience an extraordinarily beautiful place: the Geoparc Bletterbach canyon. Since the Ice Age, about 15000 years ago, the Bletterbach has dug a cavity – 8 kilometres long and 400 metres deep – where you can “read” and interpret the origin of Earth. Besides being a natural document with rocks and stones of any colour, the Geoparc is an amusing adventure park.
