Ortisei – DOLOMITES Val Gardena
moderate
Distance 3.5 km
Along the geological trail between Passo Pinei and Bulla, you can find interesting information panels explaining the evolution of the world-renowned Dolomites. The path leads through geological highlights on the margin of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers fantastic panoramic views on the mountains of Val Gardena. The highlight of the trail is marked by panel No. 2; here the excursionist physically passes through the Permian-Triassic boundary, which marks one of the greatest changes in the development of life on earth. In fact, 250 million years ago, more than 90% of all species, plants and animals in water, land and air became extinct due to enormous volcanic eruptions.
