Experience genuine Ladin tradition on a walk through the Ladin viles and admire the ancient architectural style of a bygone era. The viles are groups of wooden or masonry houses and wooden barns that stand close together in the middle of a slope or on the edge of green terraces. They are compact nuclei exposed to the sun, built to protect each other and help with the agricultural products that everyone produces, whether milk, eggs or meat, but also with the various handicraft activities that everyone carries out, while preserving the little arable land available. 
Get involved in this rural life, but one that is so precious that it can still be told and experienced again here and there.

Once you have left the village centre, you will understand why La Val is called the village of Alpine meadows: green, well-kept meadows will constantly surround you during this hike. The man-made landscape between 1300 and 2000 metres above sea level developed through the hard work of our farming ancestors, which today is facilitated by the use of agricultural machinery. 

As the altitude increases, so does the consistency of the meadows: from meagre meadows to the larch meadows of Armentara. Along the route you will find wonderful viewpoints, a sulphurous water spring at Al Bagn and several refreshment points where you can refresh yourself with some of the delicious Ladin specialities that can satisfy every palate: try the typical bales (dumplings) or snack on a well-earned slice of strudel.
