チェジオマッジョーレのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

The villa, built in 1853 and once the residence of the Counts of Welsperg, has housed the Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino Natural Park Authority and its Visitor Center since 1996. The complex of three buildings—the villa itself, the small church, and the barn (tabià)—is surrounded by a garden and a large meadow-pasture that, in the lower section, fades into a small peat bog. The Visitor Center offers an experiential tour through six rooms where visitors can experience the unique characteristics of each geographic sector of the Park. Coincidentally, the layout of the ground floor spaces bears a striking topographical resemblance to the actual territorial layout. The first room is dedicated to the entire Park and the value of biodiversity. The other five rooms each present a portrait of the major sectors: the Val Canali, the Pale di San Martino Plateau, the Paneveggio Forest, the Lagorai ridge, and the Vanoi. Within the Villa Welsperg complex, the ancient Tabià is a typical example of rural architecture. Having undergone a conservative restoration, it has been transformed into a large multipurpose room. The ground floor, the stable, which retains its original "salesà" (packed earth) flooring, is used as a support space for environmental education activities, while the first floor, the hayloft, can be used for conferences, meetings, and as a space for temporary exhibitions. Adjacent to the Tabià is the "Barch," a structure always open for rest and shelter. A monumental beech tree, estimated to be 300 years old, stands in the driveway leading to the villa. Centuries-old lime trees and horse chestnut trees welcome visitors and lead them to a pond with various aquatic species. To the side of the main building are the fern garden and the ancient rose garden, while opposite the large barn are the medicinal herb garden and the caretaker's field. The former hosts plants once used in the local folk pharmacopoeia; the latter cultivates food varieties no longer commonly used in the gardens of Primiero and Vanoi. https://parcopan.org/poi/centro-visitatori-di-villa-welsperg/

Commonly known as Laghetto Castrona (or Lago Turchese), it is a small body of water suitable for swimming created by an artificial dam on the Canali stream. Renowned for its crystal-clear waters and white sandy shores, it lies between Villa Welsperg and the Al Cacciatore hotel, near a convenient parking area.

Beautiful suspended valley! CAUTION: Do not descend the path that leads to the former "Bagnin" via ferrata towards the Treviso refuge; the route is too dangerous! Instead, descend towards Gosaldo and the Cavallera mountain hut.

A former disused via ferrata, only the bolts remain without the rope. The sections are very exposed and very risky. Absolutely not recommended!

I was a bit disappointed with the food at the Rifugio Pradidali: - small bowl of minestrone, €10 (4 spoonfuls) - potatoes and eggs, €14 (tiny plate, about 2 bites) - bread basket, €2.50 - large bottle of water, €5 Total €31.50 If a family of four has to spend almost €130 to eat at the refuge, the mountains are only for the rich. I'm all for "supporting" refuges, but with high prices and ridiculous portions, I understand those who bring their own sandwiches. And I don't expect to find gourmet dishes, much less trucker-sized portions at a trattoria. PS: It's in a stunning location, and the staff is very kind and friendly.

The Rifugio Velo della Madonna is located in the heart of the Pale di San Martino. It is a starting point for excursions and mountaineering routes, including the famous "Spigolo del Velo" route. The refuge offers hospitality with beds and a restaurant service, offering typical dishes of the local cuisine. It is open during the summer season, for more information: https://www.rifugiovelodellamadonna.it/

From the top of this pinnacle, which rises slender above the Rifugio Canali “Treviso”, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Vallon delle Lede and the Cima dell’Ostio to the NW and the Dente del Rifugio and the Sass d’Ortiga to the NE. https://primierohiking.com
