D'estate

On the southern foothills of a broad plateau, located amidst Folgaria, Lavarone and Passo di Vezzana at 1,350 m - here you will find the village of Luserna.

From a linguistic point of view, Luserna is a particular place: People of this village still speak Cimbrian, which is sort of Middle High German with Bavarian intonation. This language has been spoken for almost thousand years now at Luserna and environs. For this reason Luserna itself is called “Kamous vo Lusern” in Cimbrian language.

Skiing is the main winter activity, as the “skitour dei Forti” and the ski carousel Skirama Dolomiti is only a stone’s throw away from the village. The cycling trail “100 km die Forti”, however, passes by the village in summertime and is really popular with cyclers.

Arte Sella is an international exhibition of contemporary art which began life in 1986. It takes place in the open, in the fields and woods of the Sella Valley (Borgo Valsugana municipality, in the Province of Trento). Since 1996 the Arte Sella project has been laid out along a path in the woods on the southern slope of the Armentera Mount. The ideal route, named ARTENATURA (“Art in Nature”) which has taken shape in this way is designed to enable visitors to observe the works of art and at the same time to enjoy the natural site itself with its different types of woods, rocks and monumental trees.

The valley shelters an enchanting, uncontaminated wild.
The white gravel beaches are dashed by the crystal clear water of the Centa and also offer a spectacular view of the Valimpachwaterfall.
The variegated undergrowth offers a great assortment of plant and flower species, then the remains of an old water mill stand witness of the ancient settlements and chamois often come down the steep slopes to drink from the river.
Outfitted tracks for trekking on foot, MTB and horseback follow the banks of the river for several kilometres. This very recent river natural park offers a welcome to anyone who wants to spend a day away from the city smog and summer heat.
