Climbing Monte Chiavals is a unique experience thanks to the extraordinary variety of panoramas. Located in the Regional Natural Reserve of Val Alba, the area is of great ecological interest, representing a transition zone between the Alps and Prealps, Carnic and Julian Alps. Rugged reliefs and deep valleys intertwine in an ecosystem where animal and plant species from different geographical areas coexist, each with different peculiarities.
The itinerary begins among beech woods which, as you ascend, give way to flower meadows with an extraordinary multicolored floral variety.
Towards the summit a panoramic view opens 360°, offering a unique spectacle: the Carnic Alps on the horizon rise majestically, while the surrounding peaks emerge in their magnificence.
Long and challenging loop, rewarded by the charm of the wild environment and the beauty of the places. A journey through time thanks to the fusion of nature and historical testimonies of mountain rural life and the Great War.
