The WOWnature Alta Badia Project

Alta Badia is a resort in UNESCO World Heritage site of the South Tyrolean Dolomites of northern Italy.

The valley is located between the Fanes-Senes-Braies and Puez- Odle natural parks, which help to keep the landscapes and surrounding nature in their original state. The Ladins (the name of the local inhabitants) are committed to protecting these mountains which architect Le Corbusier described as "the most beautiful architecture in the world".

The WOWnature Alta Badia project
In late October 2018, the forests of Alta Badia suffered significant damage due to storm Vaia. Through the WOWnature Alta Badia project, the resort and the Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel cycling granfondo support the reforestation of one of the worst affected areas. 

On the www.altabadia.org and www.maratona.it websites, it is possible to adopt one of the 1,000 new trees being planted. This reforestation will cover 12 hectares of the Passo Campolongo area and the trees. 

The purpose of The Alta Badia 
The Eco-Hiker raises awareness of environmental protection and the Dolomites as a During the three Alta Badia Eco- Hiker meetings scheduled for summer 2020, excursionists can make a tangible impact on their surrounding environment.

The events are planned for 13th and 27th July and for 24th August and will take place accordingly to the Coronavirus rules.
