Get close to the stars!

The planetary trail that starts from the Max Valier astronomical observatory in San Valentino di Sopra will take you far into space: the solar system is laid out for walkers at a scale of 1:1,000,000,000, offering an interplanetary trip through the natural surroundings of the star villages – a total of ten kilometres and 2½ hours, all the way from Mercury to Pluto.
