The
Forest of the Violin. Three variety 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!
