ATIRA - Responsible excursions
- 09:30 AM-02:30 PM
What is the current state of waste on the trails in Alta Badia?
What are the environmental impacts of litter left in these areas?
What are the best practices for managing waste during hikes and outdoor activities?
How can we, both individually and collectively, minimize the impact of waste in the mountains?
An educational stroll that's simply irresistible. Because with Alessia, a hiking guide and ambassador of Alta Badia, the conversation turns to trash, starting with the waste left on the trails, to understand how certain behaviors can be truly harmful to the Alpine environment. Walking along the most frequented paths of Alta Badia, Alessia encourages collecting the waste left by the careless, all the while sharing curious anecdotes, prompting reflection and awareness.
The experience wraps up in a convivial and relaxing moment: a picnic at the base of the Pisciadú waterfalls. Alessia takes care of the organization, and as a memento of the experience and a thank-you for the commitment to the environment, each guest receives an eco-friendly box designed to reduce the use of packaging during mountain snacks.
This experience is part of ATIRA: a series of weekly meetings and excursions designed to raise awareness about crucial issues for maintaining sustainable territorial development. With ATIRA, you become a guardian of the Dolomites: you will not only learn fascinating facts about the mountains but also how to actively contribute to the protection of our territory. It's an opportunity to connect with the Dolomite nature, which is everyone's heritage and thus requires everyone's respect.
