Alpine Path no. 2
Alpine Path no. 2 is the fascinating trail that connects Bressanone to Feltre, an ancient city that over the centuries became a core of Venetian civilization at the foot of the Alps. The route unwinds through slopes, pastures, and forests, mainly on rocky terrain and well-marked trails. This road is also known as the Alpine Path of Legends for the fairy-tale atmosphere that surrounds it, in the wake of myths and fairy tales handed down by the local populations, which include devils, witches, and ogres, like the Dantesque Devil's Square lying at the bottom of a wild valley in the Feltre peaks. Following planned stops, you get to cross the most classic among the Dolomitic groups, such as the Sella Marmolada massif, the Pala group, and the Feltre Alps.
