The path becomes even more exciting and fun for children with the “Searching for Froggie” game. Purchase the kit composed of a booklet, pen, and binoculars at the ticket offices of the Cavalese station or the valley station: the whole family will be involved in a fun treasure hunt that, clue by clue, leads with ingenuity and cheerfulness up to the Lo Chalet refuge. Children won’t even notice how much they are walking!
