A project dedicated to the forests of Alta Badia
Alta Badia and WOWnature together for reforestation
In autumn 2018, many forests in Alta Badia were severely affected by Storm Vaia. In the months that followed, a bark beetle outbreak spread across the area, affecting additional woodland zones.
Alta Badia, together with Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel, supports a number of initiatives dedicated to the restoration of the areas affected by the storm. During spring and summer 2020, the Campolongo Pass area was cleared and, as part of the WOWnature project, 2,000 larch and spruce trees were planted within a 12-hectare area. The activities planned within the project are followed over time through monitoring and maintenance of the area.
There is more to discover: by adopting a mature tree, you can take part in the WOWnature project and support activities such as forest maintenance, trail maintenance, the installation of information panels and the creation of themed trails, including the Food Forest. The adoption of a tree supports these activities and does not constitute a CO₂ emissions offsetting programme.
Music Forest
The soundtrack of the forest
In June 2024, the international Musixmatch team, together with Alta Badia and WOWnature, launched a special project by planting 150 native trees in the WOWnature area at Campolongo Pass.
The event brought together 150 members of the Musixmatch team, each of whom had the opportunity to link the lyrics of a song to their own tree. This is how the Music Forest came to life – a project that combines tree planting with a shared musical experience.
Alongside the trees, the Music Forest also takes shape through a dedicated playlist, created to tell the story of the project through music.
Food Forest
A forest to discover and taste
This is no ordinary forest.
At Campolongo Pass, among the trees, something has changed. After Storm Vaia, this area underwent restoration work and became home to the Food Forest, created through the WOWnature project in collaboration with Etifor.
Not a perfectly designed garden, but a place where plants, berries and aromas typical of the Alpine environment grow together. Blueberries, wild strawberries, juniper, elderberry and many other species can be found along the trail.
In summer, visitors can walk along the path, read the information panels and discover the species found in this area. They may even recognise some of the same herbs and berries that are part of Ladin cuisine and traditions passed down through generations.
An invitation to take your time, follow the trail, observe the landscape and discover this project up close.
Food Forest: the forest garden of Passo Campolongo
Alta Badia, in collaboration with Etifor, has identified the Masisti Forest at Passo Campolongo in Corvara as the ideal location for creating the Food Forest.
