The Foran dal Mus geological trail was designed to offer visitors to the Park the chance to fully appreciate one of the most peculiar and striking aspects of the protected area: the extraordinary geological phenomena of the highest part of the Canin Massif. These areas, dear to climbers and speleologists, embody the charm of stone carved by water which shapes surfaces and then descends into the deepest recesses of the mountain, the dwellings of spirits and fantastic beings who populate the legends of these territories. They have as extraordinary companions the flowers and animals that a keen eye can find in the immense rock garden.
The views are evocative, majestic and unusual. The trail offers some variants depending on your interest, your time, and your physical condition.
