In this article you will learn how to protect the wonderful landscape of the Val Gardena
The fresh winter air, the snow crackling under your shoes and the impressive rock walls of the Dolomites sparkling in the winter sun... This UNESCO world heritage site is the frame of your outdoor activities and we need to protect it by taking care of the environment and by living in a sustainable way.
The ecosystem of this area where you can undertake ski mountaineering tours and winter hikes is very delicate and must be treated respectfully. Chamois, mountain hares, and black grouse need retreats where to spend the cold season. By staying on the marked paths, pistes and routes you won't disturb the fragile ecosystem and thus contribute to protecting the wellbeing of wildlife and yourself.
Use public transport means and leave your car at home. The numerous skibusses and public transportation means connect the villages to the valley station of the lift facilities. And if you cannot do without your car we recommend turning off the engine every time you stop for a break.
Thereafter, we report some essential rules to follow:
-
Stay on the marked paths and pistes to protect the local flora and fauna.
-
Be careful when staying in the wildlife's habitat
-
Use public transportation means to reduce traffic and emissions
-
Turn off the engine of your car when stopping for a break.
By following these easy rules you will enjoy nature in a conscious and respectful way. Your efforts are crucial in preserving and protecting the natural environment of the Val Gardena and the Dolomites.
