Hiking

Winter hike along the artists' path from La Villa to San Cassiano

La Villa/La Villa, Badia, Dolomites Region Alta Badia
from center

The open-air art gallery, with works by artists from the Dolomites region, is quite unique. The "Tru di Artisć" (artists' path) between La Villa and San Cassiano was created in summer 2011 and a new sculpture is added every now and then. Continuing across meadows and pasture land, you pass through San Cassiano to Armentarola at the feet of the Lavarela and Conturines.

The "Tru di artisć", as the path of the artists is called in Ladin, is an open-air gallery that was inaugurated in summer 2011 and is regularly enriched with artworks by various artists from the Ladin valleys. The starting point of the exhibition is in La Villa in the neighbourhood of Altin. The approximately 3.5 km long path is closed to motorised traffic and winds along the San Cassiano stream to the Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus in San Cassiano.

As among the various artistic forms, poetry plays an essential role in addition to sculpture several panels have been erected along the path in this regard, presenting verses in Ladin language.

Itinerary
