    Climbing M. Chiavals is a unique experience thanks to the extraordinary variety of views. Located in the Nat. Reg. of Val Alba, the 'area is of great ecological interest, representing a transition zone between the Alps and the Pre-Alps, Carnic and Julian. Rugged reliefs and deep valleys intertwine in an ecosystem in which animal and plant species from different geographical areas coexist, with different peculiarities.

    The itinerary begins among beech forests that, as they climb, give way to flower meadows with an extraordinary multicolored floral variety.

    Towards the top a 360° panoramic view opens up, providing a unique spectacle: the Carnic Alps on the horizon stand out majestically, while the surrounding peaks emerge in their magnificence.

    Long and challenging ring, repaid by the charm of thewild environment and the beauty of the places. A journey through time thanks to the fusion of nature and historical evidence of rural mountain life and the Great War.
