The peaks of the Little Dolomites are the emerging remains of the great glaciations of the Quaternary period and host, as refuge massifs, preglacial botanical varieties. The considerable altimetrical excursion (ranging from 400 m. above sea level to 2259 m. of Cima Carega) determines a significant temperature range that means that you can find all the vegetation belts typical of the Alps, from chestnut forests to beech forests, from mixed forests to fir trees, to the alpine meadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The territory is inhabited by a rich fauna: from the swift of the lower altitudes to the hawks, to the buzzard, to the numerous crows, “le grole”, which live among cliffs and rocky walls, to the gallo forcello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Recoaro, as a landscape – <\/strong> wrote Nietzsche at the end of the nineteenth century – is one of my most beautiful experiences”.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A territory that offers many possibilities of leisure, through the walks you can admire the districts and the “malghe” discovering the history and the traditions of the place, you can practice mountaineering, trekking, nordic walking, mountain bike, gliding and climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The territory is crossed by the Ring of the Little Dolomites<\/strong>is an eco-tourist route that connects the ten municipalities of the Agno Valley and the neighboring Valley of Chiampo, and that extends for more than 120 km between hilly and mountainous areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Ecotouristic Ring of the Little Dolomites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
