How to reach the Tre Cime nature Park
Founded in 1981, the Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime Nature Park extends over a 11,891 hectare area comprising the villages of Toblach / Dobbiaco, Sexten / Sesto and Innichen / San Candido. It encompasses the northeastern cornerstone of the Dolomites and is bounded to the north by Pustertal / Pusteria valley, to the east by Sextental / Val di Sesto valley, to the south by the provincial border with Belluno, and to the west by Höhlensteintal / Val di Landro valley.
The Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime Nature Park is notable for its rugged landscape and world renowned peaks and mountains, and above all for the world renowned Drei Zinnen / Tre Cime di Lavaredo mountains, where, beginning in the first half of the 19th century, mountain climbers from far and near achieved pioneering feats of mountain climbing. Today, expert climbers from around the world exhibit their climbing acumen on the vertical rock faces of these mountains.
The park is part of the European-wide Natura 2000 sites, which aim to promote habitat, flora and fauna conservation and were established under the EU’s FFH Directive (92/43/EC) and Bird’s Directive (2009/147/EC). Article 6(1) of the FFH Directive requires EU member states to elaborate conservation measures for Natura 2000 sites, to which end the province of South Tyrol commissioned so called management plans.
Each park has an executive board whose members are representatives of the relevant municipalities, an expert in natural sciences, representatives of nature conservation associations, farmers’ rapresentatives and representatives of the relevant provincial agencies.

How to reach the Sciliar-Catinaccio visitor centre
Where the Ciamin valley begins, in the locality of Bagni di Lavina Bianca, you will find the visitor centre of the Sciliar-Catinaccio Nature Park. Once the house served as a rare Venetian water mill, called “Steger Säge”, but today it hosts the park’s valuable information centre. The centre tells you all about the geology of the Sciliar massif and the origins of the Dolomites in a lively and interesting way. It also features a media room, where a film about the world of rocks is displayed in regular intervals.
Additionally to the visitor centre in Tires there is an info point near to the Pond of Fiè. Here you might get lots of information about the flora of the pond, the local fauns and reeds, and about the fish living in the pond. Also in Siuso allo Sciliar a visitor centre is under construction (inauguration scheduled for 2018). Did you know that building mountain huts has also promoted the spread of certain animals as ermines or black redstarts, a small passerine bird? In search for food they’ve moved towards the mountain huts.

How to reach the Beekeeping Museum Plattnerhof
In Wolfsgruben/Costalovara, not far from the stop of the Railway Renon, you will find the Beekeeping Museum at the historical Plattnerhof farm, located on a small hill and easily visible from a distance.
The Plattnerhof farm is one of Renon’s oldest farmhouses. Today, it is a fascinating historical farmhouse museum, and in its ancient barn it hosts the region’s largest collection of beekeeping tools and machinery. So, visitors walking through the living courters of the farmhouse travel back in time and see how farmers lived in the past. Then, upon entering the barn, they move into the world of honey making and are told about bees and beekeeping in South Tyrol. The educational trail outdoors on the picturesque little hill explains the world from a bee’s point of view. Definitely worth a visit!
Note: Free entry with RittenCard.

How to reach the Messner Mountain Museum Dolomites
The Museum in the Clouds, located on Monte Rite (2181 m) between Pieve di Cadore and Cortina d’Ampezzo in the heart of the Dolomites, is sensational for the views alone. The plateau at the summit offers a 360° panorama of the most spectacular mountains in the Dolomites: Monte Schiara, Monte Agnèr, Monte Civetta, Marmolata, Monte Pelmo, Tofana di Rozes, Sorapis, Antelao, Marmarole. The theme of the museum in the old fort is “rock”. The museum illustrates the process of the conquest of the Dolomites – with reference to those natural scientists and mountaineers who wrote alpine history with their discoveries, new routes, and first ascents. At the heart of the museum, there is a big gallery housing a collection of unique paintings of the Dolomites, from the Romantic period up to today.
Inside, the renovated fort resembles the nave of a church with twenty side altars, where Reinhold Messner gives a phase-by-phase account of the development of the Dolomites.
He tells the story with the help of relics and souvenirs and with reference to those natural scientists and mountaineers who wrote alpine history with their discoveries, new routes, and first ascents – from Dolomieu and the British pioneers to Michl Innerhofer and Georg Winkler, from Angelo Dibona and Michele Bettega to Emilio Comici and the Sixth Grade, as well as the Direttissima climbers like Alexander Huber and Lothar Brandler on the Moderne Zeiten route.

How to reach the Naturatrafoi Visitor Centre
In the village of Trafoi along the Stilfserjoch/Stelvio Pass, the naturatrafoi Visitor Centre shows how nature has successfully managed to adapt in this high Alpine region. With sometimes extreme weather conditions as well as the unique geology of the Ortler, both animals and plants have had to evolve a number of ingenious survival strategies.
The exhibition thus offers fascinating insights into the geology of the Ortler Cevedale Mountain Group and into the survival, adaptations and strategies of plants and animals under the extreme climatic conditions of the high mountains.
The exhibition demonstrates the hard fight for survival of flora and fauna in the upper mountain regions.
Only a few specialist plants can withstand the inhospitable and rough conditions beyond the tree line. Impressive photo panels, an exhibition cinema, as well as rocks and furs introduce visitors to the ‘Life on the Edge’. For our little visitors, we have prepared some games, fairy-tale listening stations, as well as a stone puzzle for ‘active understanding’.
