In ladin legends “Vivane” are handsome women with human and supernatural features. They are mysterious creatures who populate Val di Fassa forests, and they live near water springs inside caves. You will hardly meet them in the wood, if this would happen, you would see a witch (Bregostana). There are many tales related to these mystical figures, but we will just look for their lanterns in the wood. We start with Fly-Line descent till Pian Pecei, then a reascent with Ciampedie chair lifts. Here the team challenge starts: each team will be characterized by a specific colour and you will move for different destinations at the same time. You will receive a compass and the degree direction… and good hunting. The team who will find all the Vivanes’ lanterns, will award the prize of an extra Fly-Line run. 

Thursday 10.00 a.m., on the trail of the Vivane at Gardeccia (between legends and reality) Departure at 10.00 from Ciampedie.

Going up to Pra Martin or alternatively crossing the forest path, we head to Gardeccia following the ancient footsteps of the Vivane. Since ancient times they live in these woods characters of Ladin legends that for centuries have populated our homes, the mountains and cheered our children. Bregostane, Salvan, nurseries, gnomes, witches and elves will be presented by our guide through the magical forest path immersed in the kingdom of King Laurin, where at sunset is clearly visible the phenoment of the "enrosadira"
