| The Forest of the Violin. Three varieties packed skiing tours show off the sunny arena of the Magnificent Community of Fiemme/Obereggen: Alpe Cermis, Alpe Lusia and the Latemar skiing centre. It's possible to set off from almost all of the town centres and free buses go between the skiing resorts. The Forest of the Violin skiing tour runs from Cavalese on to Alpe Cermis. From the Paion 'rifugio' you not only have a wonderful view on to Latemar and the Sella Group, but also on to Marmolada and the Pale di San Martino. The thick forest of the mountain slopes of the Fiemme Valley is also a wonder to see. Some 300 years ago in the Paneveggio Forest the Stradivari family from Cremona searched for mature samples of hazel spruce for that right quality of resonance. From this wood the Stradivari violins were fashioned, each one a masterpiece in its own right, which are played to this day by the finest of musicians.
Spectacular views are no rarity in the Dolomites. Among the most beautiful is the panoramic view from Paion del Cermis. Rosengarten, Langkofel, Sella, Marmolada and the awe inspiring Tower of the Pala Group are some of the fantastic peaks to be seen from here. The majestic beauty of these mountains is both astounding and simply unforgettable! |
