Tips
Legend has it that the Queen of the Dolomites and her entourage found refuge with the marmots on the high plateau of the Fanes, where they are still waiting today for their redemption. According to legend, they fled from a king full of falsehood, a "Fausto rego" as the Ladien say. This greedy ruler betrayed his empire and abandoned it to ruin.
