The Dolomites wouldn't be the same without forests
Alta Badia and WOWnature together for reforestation
In the autumn of 2018, many forests in Alta Badia suffered significant damage due to the violent Vaia storm. As a result, a bark beetle epidemic developed, causing even greater damage. Alta Badia, in collaboration with the Maratona dles Dolomites-Enel, is supporting various initiatives aimed at restoring the damaged forest areas. In the spring and summer of 2020, the Campolongo area was cleared, and thanks to the WOWnature project, 2,000 larches and spruces were adopted and planted for reforestation.
But there’s more: by adopting a mature tree, you too can help clean up the forests that need maintenance, repair the trails, install information panels, and create themed paths like the forest-garden. Together, we can give concrete value to words like sustainability and environmental protection.
Music Forest
The playlist bringing the forest to life
In June 2024, the international Musixmatch team, in collaboration with Alta Badia and WOWnature, planted 150 trees in the WOWnature area at Passo Campologno. A total of 150 dedicated team members took part in this special event. Each of them had the opportunity to connect the lyrics of a song to a tree using a wooden tag, creating the unique music forest. As a lasting memory of this inspiring project, we have put together a special playlist. This playlist contains the songs that motivated and inspired the Musixmatch team during the tree planting campaign. Immerse yourself in the sounds of our Music Forest and enjoy the music that accompanied us during this important initiative.
Food Forest
A forest you can taste
This isn’t just any forest.
Up at Passo Campolongo, something is quietly changing among the trees. After the storm Vaia, this place has slowly come back to life. And it’s done so in the most powerful way possible: by letting nature take the lead. Thanks to the WOWnature project and in collaboration with Etifor, a Food Forest has taken root here.
Not a manicured garden, but a living weave of plants, fruits, and scents. Blueberries, wild strawberries, juniper, elderberries... They grow where they like, how they like. And that’s exactly the beauty of it. In summer, visitors can walk the trail, read the signs, gather a few things, have a taste. And maybe discover that these very berries and herbs find their way into traditional Ladin dishes, prepared with gestures passed down for generations.
There’s nothing staged here. Just an invitation: walk slowly, observe, listen. The forest will do the rest.
