Animal Trail

A special path starts from the top station of the "Le Cune" gondola, dedicated to the animals of the forest. It is an easy and fun route that, combining natural surprises and wild encounters, will take you back to Valbona. The adventure begins by taking path no. 614, which partly follows the ski slope. Keep your eyes peeled! After a while, you will descend into the basin at the foot of Mount Viezzena, home to a colony of talkative marmots. Can you hear their warning whistles? They're warning their friends that you're there!

At the crossroads, turn left following the signpost no. 622. Now the landscape changes: you cross a moraine dotted with monumental trees, bent over time by the weight of winter avalanches. They look like sleeping giants protecting the path... After the steepest stretch, the path moves away from the ski slope and enters an almost magical grove. Here, a path takes you through soft carpets of moss, rhododendrons in bloom, small mountain pines and very rare alpine flowers. Take a deep breath: can you smell the scent of resin? Continuing gently downhill along the slope, you leave the woods and find yourself immersed in a wonderful alpine pasture, overlooking Malga Pozza. Look carefully in the tall grass: you might see a bee, a spider, a snail, a red ant or a weevil! Follow the path that cuts diagonally across the grassy slope and leads to just above the top station of the "Valbona" ski lift. But the adventure is not over yet! Return to the mysterious forest, where the path snakes in wide bends among the trees. Then you come to path no. 614, also known as "Troi di Soldai", which climbs towards the "Sas da Mesodì". Follow it south and… surprise! Without even realising it, you've arrived: right next to the "Valbona" playground!
