In Alta Badia you encounter the oldest culture in South Tyrol and during your excursions it is easy to meet traces of typical cultural assets such as the "viles", the ancient rural settlements with their classic Ladin architecture.
This leisurely circuit leads through meadows and forests slightly above the valley floor, along some of the typical Ladin farmsteads.
The height difference of this walk is small, so the route is recommended even for less experienced and trained hikers.
