In La Villa take the Gardenacia chairlift and then walk up the steep hill through mountain pines and larch trees to reach the Gardenacia hut, where the scent of stone, moss and mountain summer fill the air. At the top, you’ll find a quiet plateau - bizarre, vast and almost lunar-like. Hiking through the eastern part of the Puez-Odle nature park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you reach the Puez hut located at an altitude of 2,475 metres. Here you can enjoy the view of the Dolomites over a snack platter surrounded by giant rocks and calling jackdaws. You can return the same way you came or go via Colfosco.
