SKITOUR MAGNIFICA COMUNITÀ VAL DI FIEMME/OBEREGGEN
The Forest of the Violin
Three variety packed skiing tours show off the sunny arena of the
Magnificent Community of Fiemme/Obereggen: Alpe Cermis, Alpe Lusia and
the Latemar skiing centre. It's possible to set off from almost all of
the town centres and free buses go between the skiing resorts. The Forest
of the Violin skiing tour runs from Cavalese on to Alpe Cermis. From the
Paion 'rifugio' you not only have a wonderful view on to Latemar and the
Sella Group, but also on to Marmolada and the Pale di San Martino. The
thick forest of the mountain slopes of the Fiemme Valley is also a wonder
to see. Some 300 years ago in the Paneveggio Forest the Stradivari family
from Cremona searched for mature samples of hazel spruce for that right
quality of resonance. From this wood the Stradivari violins were fashioned,
each one a masterpiece in its own right, which are played to this day
by the finest of musicians.
Rich in Fables and Stories
In Bellamonte the tour follows on to the sunny terraces of Alpe Lusia
with an amazing panoramic view and lovely slopes. The Fables and Stories
tour leads us through a fantasy world. You'll encounter dwarfs, giants
and bewitched princesses! In the region's mountain huts ('rifugi') you'll
also find information about those old fables.
The Coral Mountains/ The Latemar Marionettes
In Predazzo, Pampeago or alternatively in Obereggen the Coral Mountains/Latemar
Marionettes skiing tour starts off at the Latemar skiing centre at the
heart of the Latemar Group. At one time the Dolomites were coral mountains
within a sea of algae and fish. Great land movements shaped the mountains
which rose out of the water 270 million years ago. In 1796 the "Dolomite"
mineral was first presented to the world, named after its discoverer,
Deodat de Dolomieu. In fact you can understand about the development of
the region just by looking at the rocks. The Val di Fiemme/ Obereggen
Valley is in itself a geological museum within the mineral garden of the
Alps.
Tip:
Spectacular views are no rarity in the Dolomites. Among the most beautiful
is the panoramic view from Paion del Cermis. Rosengarten, Langkofel, Sella,
Marmolada and the awe inspiring Tower of the Pala Group are some of the
fantastic peaks to be seen from here. The majestic beauty of these mountains
is both astounding and simply unforgettable!
