Holiday apartment in Canale D'agordo between valley and nature

The Valle di Gares is a glacial valley approximately 7 kilometres long, stretching from the main town of Canale d’Agordo towards the Pale di San Martino. Its approximate length makes the Valle di Gares easy to include in your plans. Specific destinations in the valley include the Comelle Waterfalls. They can be reached via CAI trail no. 704, which begins near Capanna Cima Comelle.

In the Pian de Giare area, at an altitude of 1,381 metres, you can walk near the Gares pond. The Gares pond is designated as a biotope. This allows you to take different priorities into account when planning a holiday apartment: a stay with walks through the valley, an excursion to the waterfalls or time in an area whose natural environment is expressly designated as a biotope.

There is also a specific destination for winter activities. The Centro Fondo Valle di Gares has a challenging cross-country ski trail groomed for both classic technique and skating.
