Vanoi - Canal San Bovo: the "green heart" of the Trentino
The valley of Vanoi surely merits its sobriquet "green
heart" of the Trentino. The name Vanoi refers not to a single
village, but on the one hand to the river, which flows through the
region. On the other hand it names as well the whole valley between
the coarse rocks of the Lagorai and the rank forests of the nature
park Paneveggio-Pale di San Martino.
The first venturous mountaineers came to Vanoi
already in the middle of the 19th century. Over the years the
village emerged as a nice holiday resort, which is now a
particularly popular not just amongst alpinists and mountain
climbers; many guests explore the valley also by
skis or with snow shoes.
Canal San Bovo is the principal town of the
Vanoi valley, a pretty and hospitable village on 750 m above sea
level. From here, you can start innumerable
excursion in the vicinity.
