Passo Volaia-Wolayersee
Along the “Lake Wolayer” Geotrail you will discover the remains of an ancient ocean and its fossilised inhabitants
Cross-border Geotrail Pramollo-Nassfeld
The Pramollo-Nassfeld cross-border Geotrail allows observing in detail the sedimentary rocks deposited at the end of the Carboniferous, the penultimate period of the Paleozoic Era.
Passo Cason di Lanza – Findenig
Carboniferous and Permian are well represented north of the Cason di Lanza Pass with rich fossil records: plants, bivalves, brachiopods, but also large amphibians’ footprints.
Zoufplan: marine deposits and glacial lakes
This geotrail is laid out on the slopes of Monte Zoufplan and lets the observer examine the transition between the Dimon Formation
Bordaglia: signs of orogenesis and glaciations
The route allows you to reach sites of great beauty, such as the Alpine lake of Bordaglia, and to take in the evident signs left by the Hercynian and Alpine Orogenies and by the erosive action of glaciers in the landscape.

The source and the caves of the Fontanon
This geo-excursion lets the observer examine the karst phenomena that characterize the limestone outcrops of the Alta Valle (upper valley) of the Bût torrent. The itinerary also leads to the karst source of the Fontanon and to one of the caves that form the complex subterranean system of the mountain overlooking the village of Timau.
The Monte di Rivo and Campanili del Lander Geotrail
Along this route you will be able to observe aspects linked to landslides, erosion and the accumulation of debris.

Rivoli Bianchi debris flow
The site's name says a lot: the "Rivoli Bianchi", in fact, is the fan of debris that opens before us, at the foot of Mount Amariana, descending from the deep fracture through which the Rio Citate flows. Its scientific name is "alluvial cone", and what we are facing is one of the largest active cones in Europe.
The “Las Calas” Gorge
The Las Calas gorge is a natural monument carved out of the rock by water, which has polished it, creating evocative scenes. Along the way we can observe also the result of the enormous forces in action during the two orogenies and the crustal deformations that shaped the outcropping rocks.
