From La Val to the Rit meadows
Peace, nature, wide views – to the Rit meadows with panoramic vistas over La Val and the Dolomites.
The destination of the hike, the green meadows of Rit, within the Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are an expression of an untouched natural environment, peace, and tranquility, where you can immerse yourself and breathe in the delicate scent of wild orchids.
After two hours of walking, you will reach the Crusc da Rit cross, where a breathtaking panorama will unfold before you, spanning from the Sas dla Crusc massif to the Pütia mountain. From this vantage point, you will be able to distinguish the three churches of La Val.
