DESCRIPTION
Singular path on the slopes of the Sciliar.
We begin our enthralling tour starting from Lavina Bianca, following a suggestive circular itinerary that will lead us to discover some of the naturalistic pearls of the place. First stop: the Tschafonhütte, a true paradise for families. But that's not all: our journey continues along the Path of logs, also known as Knüppelweg or Prügelweg, a path that takes its name from the many wooden sticks of different sizes (the so-called Knüppel or Prügel) that make it up. This path of medieval origin winds along a suspended walkway over the Rio Sciliar/Schlernbach, allowing us to pass the suggestive Fossa dello Sciliar and reach the mountain pastures and the Malga Sessel/Sesselschwaige. An exciting and unforgettable experience, enriched by the breathtaking view of the Fossa, a sort of small canyon.
