From Moena to Soraga, where water has marked history
As you reach the oasis of Lake Soraga, can you picture Fairy Moena whispering through the leaves along this loop trail by the Avisio River, passing on the ancient Ladin art of wood carving to those who walk here?
Perhaps this is where the fairies' playful spirit was born - a kind of magic that still inspires the tireless work of sculptors and woodcarvers today. Pink sunsets, sparkling cascades and wide open meadows, together with the wood of the surrounding forests, tell an ancient story of skilled hands and boundless imagination. In Val di Fassa, the Ladin people have woven fairy tales, legends and art into a truly unique heritage. Wood - a living material that breathes and transforms - still reigns here, a symbol of a tradition that has crossed the centuries.<br />This easy walk leads through a peaceful rural landscape, in the quiet rhythm of nature. Along the way, you'll pass eco-friendly farm stays that speak of the past and present of mountain life. The craftsmanship of local artisans is reflected in every detail: everyday objects, religious carvings, small masterpieces and toys that bring back the scent and wonder of childhood.<br />From one generation to the next, the art of woodcarving in Val di Fassa has taken many forms, keeping alive a tradition that tells of beauty, skill and a deep connection with nature.
