Le marmotte, sentinelle della Val Venegia

Distinctive features: thick and rough fur, protruding teeth, unmistakable whistle. The physiological and behavioral characteristics typical of the marmot make it an extremely interesting subject for study; in fact, its presence can represent an important indicator of how the high-altitude environment is changing.
In the company of an expert zoologist, you will experience an afternoon as a true researcher in Val Venegia, a wonderful Dolomite setting and a sample area of a multi-year monitoring project carried out by the Park Authority focused specifically on this exceptional alpine rodent. You will personally participate in the data collection activities, and in between your observations, you will learn more about the scientific research work carried out daily by the Park.
At the end of the measurements, a delicious snack awaits you at Malga Venegiota, featuring cakes and typical sweets made on-site.
