The Alpe Cisles, the barren landscape of Puez and Vallunga are of unique natural beauty and therefore part of the Puez-Odle Nature Park and the Dolomites UNESCO site.
Author’s recommendation
The Nature Park Puez-Odle was founded in 1978 and covers an area of 10,722 hectares. The nature parks of the Dolomites were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009.
Here you can discover the various rock types, sedimentary layers and weathering. This is the reason why the Puez-Odle Nature Park is also called the “history book of the earth”.
