    Descrizione

    This circular themed educational path is suitable for visually impaired people and is located near Rifugio Levi Molinari (which serves as a reference and starting point). The route is self-guided, and assisted by the presence along the route of a rope handrail supported by wooden poles and waymarkings. Themed points of interest have been set up to educate walkers about local cultural and environmental issued. They are based around sensory perception: 4 panels and 2 wooden totems are set up along the circular route in such a way as to enable people to discover information about the local area using images for their hands and using tactile, auditory, olfactory and gustatory exploration. Right from the start of the route, panels with Braille inscriptions have been positioned along the forest access road to the refuge to present and enable tactile exploration of the path, of some forest species, for the presentation of information about the the natural environment, surrounding area and endemic fauna. The sense of hearing is stimulated through stages along the path aimed at encouraging walkers to recognize different types of water courses (brooks, streams and waterfalls), and it is also possible to appreciate other sounds of nature in the less frequented and sites further away from the refuge (birdsong, and in autumn the call of deer etc.). At the centre of the meadow in front of the refuge there are two totems that present two typical alpine activities, through images and texts in Braille and in plain text, as well as the presence of objects that are designed to focus on the sense of touch, namely, wood sculptures and rock climbing. And so on for other information points along the route that ends near the intersection with the path that goes up to Col d'Ambin, where a large rock is situated which visitors can boulder on, thus enabling them to try out the sport of climbing. At the refuge, in collaboration with the manager, it is also possible to organize tastings of typical local products (including cheeses of different maturities, honey, etc.), associating the available products to their origin and production method. There are personnel at Rifugio Levi Molinari who have been specially trained to assist disabled and visually impaired people and thus guarantee correct management of the path and of the educational activities connected to it.
