WINTER HIKING IN SAN VIGILIO

Hiking between snowy Dolomites peaks

The beauty of the Nature Park Fanes-Sennes-Prags can be explored very well with a winter hike. You can either take a leisurely stroll through the snow-covered woods or learn more about the place and its legends on the “Fanes-Sagen” trail.
