Family hike through the Dragon Forest with artworks, views & stories – stroller and wheelchair accessible. Ideal for little and big explorers!

A walk like from a fairy tale: The Dragon Forest near Gardoné takes little and big visitors into a imaginative world full of secrets, art and nature.

Directions

The hike through the Dragon Forest (Foresta dei Draghi) starts at the mountain station of the Predazzo–Gardoné gondola at 1,650 m altitude.
From the mountain station, follow the well-signposted theme trail “Foresta dei Draghi”. The path runs on a slightly ascending, wide gravel track through the forest and is ideal for strollers and wheelchairs.
On the approx. 1.4 km circular trail you will encounter several imaginative land art works, viewpoints and info boards about dragons and nature. Along the way, benches and small clearings invite you to linger. The pure walking time is about 45–60 minutes.
The path ends again at the mountain station, where the Gardoné information point is located – there the activity book with stories and puzzles is available.
