Description

Additional information

Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino Nature Park

The Park is located in the middle of the Dolomites, in the eastern part of Trentino on the border with Veneto.
On the Park territory, in a relatively restricted spatial area, a great variety of ecological situations alternate, giving rise to naturalistic realities of extraordinary interest and biodiversity.

The iconic element is the Paneveggio Spruce Forest, also known as the Violin Forest.
