16 • UCIEI DE FRËINES – SINGING ART The trail starts near the valley station of the Col Raiser cable car in S. Cristina and winds through the woods above Cristauta. Along the way, accessible from directions, there are five information stations, each dedicated to a different bird species in Val Gardena. Each station features a wooden sculpture, handcrafted by a master sculptor from Val Gardena, and offers interesting facts about the habits, lifestyle and characteristics of each species. You can hear the bird’s calls by scanning the board’s QR code, making the experience even more engaging. Time: 1:19 h (Return trip) • ANNA VALLEY AND DIALOGUE WAY Starts at the valley station of the Seceda cablecar. It leads up a gentle incline reaching the children’s playground. Following the path, you get to the Café Val d’Anna (duration about 20 min.) Suitable for families. Return way as way there or crossing the meadow Pincan in direction of Col de Flam to Ortisei. Following along that foot path for 500 metres, the path branches off in the direction of Col de Flam. The path, in a gentle incline, is characterised by works of art in porphyry and metal that represent dialogue in its various shapes and forms. That’s an amazing place to relax and get in touch with the nature. • VALLUNGA Walk on path no. 14 from the entrance to the Vallunga valley to S. Silvestro chapel. The walk slowly becomes steeper as you stroll through larch and mountain pine thickets. No worries, as you can rest on the many benches and tables places on the path: sit down, relax and revel in the unique view stretching out before you. The valley slowly becomes narrower as the vegetation predominantly turns to mountain pine groves. It then returns to its customary, wide expanse upon reaching the meadows. Continue walking until you reach rocky walls reaching to the sky. Return on the same path.
