In 1995 the tomb of a prehistoric hunter who lived about 7 thousand years ago was discovered.
The hunter was about 1.70 meters tall and probably died because of a fracture of the backbone. He was buried in a big rock shelter together with objects that he used during his life.
The itinerary develops on a wide area covered by snow outside of the thick wood.
You first reach the saddle "forcella Giau" below the vertical walls of the Lastroi de Formin, then you arrive to the peak of the mount Corvo Alto, in a white natural paradise.
