Parco Naturale Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino

This sprawling natural park encompasses diverse ecosystems, from dense 'forests of violins' (famous for spruce wood used in instruments) to high alpine environments. It offers numerous well-marked hiking trails, including educational nature paths suitable for families (e.g., Sentiero Natura at Val Canali). Wildlife spotting (deer, chamois, marmots) is common. The Visitor Center in Paneveggio provides detailed information, maps, and often hosts interpretive programs. Entrance to the park is free, but some specific activities or guided tours may incur costs. Open year-round, but access to higher trails is limited by snow from late autumn to late spring.
