A gateway to the Ampezzo Dolomites Natural Park and the Sennes and Fanes Natural Park, the Lagazuoi 5 Torri area is a great nature oasis.

An ideal habitat for ibex and chamois, it is home to hares, partridges and even eagles, which hunt and nest here.

Further down towards the valley live black grouse and nutcrackers.

You are likely to hear the unmistakable shrill whistles of the loveable marmots keeping guard and warning of your approach.

Not to be missed in June is the spectacular pink flowering of the "Rhododendron ferrugineum”.
