Directions
To reach the Geotrail Dos Capèl path, take the cable car to Gardonè and then the chairlift to Passo Feudo (2,200 m).
From Passo Feudo, descend slightly to the right, leaving the refuge behind. The path is unpaved, with a vast panorama over the peaks of the Dolomites and the Lagorai Chain. The direction is marked by arrows and installations: there are 19 of them, each helping you to read with curiosity the rock layers and the plant adaptations to different types of soil. It feels like walking back in time: among rocks that echo a sea from 250 million years ago and black layers of volcanic rock.
At the Info Point in Gardonè you can request “Geotrail Dos Capèl. Easy to Read”, a guidebook in EtR (Easy to Read) language that facilitates reading and a special geological kit (€6.00) containing a lens, a pair of glasses, gloves, and bags for collecting small pieces of rock.
The walk is free. But if you want to understand the natural spectacle you are crossing and have fun with children, the EtR (Easy to Read) guidebook is a useful tool: with clear, readable, and illustrated information to understand, remember, and be able to tell your discoveries!
After returning to the valley, you can deepen your curiosity about fossils with experts from the Geological Museum of the Dolomites in Predazzo.
Geotrail Dos Capèl – Dolomites, what a discovery! is a project curated by Muse-Museum of Sciences of Trento, the Geological Museum of the Dolomites of Predazzo, and the Civic Museum Foundation of Rovereto in collaboration with Irifor of Trentino, Albinova, and Anffass Trentino.
