The valley

Val Pettorina is a beautiful and quiet valley. On the south side there is a barrier of high Dolomite and Limestone peaks including Marmolada, the highest mountain in the Dolomites. To the north are lower volcanic conglomorate peaks. To the west you find Passo Fedaia with it’s reservoir, and to the east Caprile, an ancient Roman settlement. It’s narrow and densly wooded, providing cover for all sorts of animals, including Wolves.

And at it’s heart is Sottoguda with its famous gorge, the Serrai di Sottoguda. It’s a Unsesco World Heritage site and its deep canyon is awe inspiring in both the winter and the summer.
