Dalla cima del Passo Staulanza imboccare il sentiero n.472. Raggiunta la meta si possono ammirare tre distinte impronte risalenti al Triassico. E’ consigliato abbinare questa escursione alla visita del Museo Vittorino Cazzetta a Selva di Cadore, dove il visitatore può scoprire la storia geologica della Val Fiorentina. Vi si ritrova anche l’ ”Uomo di Mondeval”, un sepolcro mesolitico completo degli oggetti di sepoltura. I resti di Valmo, l’uomo qui sepolto hanno più di 7.500 anni. A pleasant and non-binding excursion that offers the chance to see the footsteps of the dinosaurs, discovered by Vittorino Cazzetta, a local man of few words but a great passion for mountain and solitary wanderings to the discovery of traces of the past and just on the mountain during one of his lonely excursion he lost his life still young. Already in 1970 he had identified the footprints of dinosaurs dated 220 milion years ago on a boulder detached from Pelmetto. A lot of time goes by still before he decides to talk to someone about this discovery. Now they still are at the time the first findings with these characteristics in Italy. From Staulanza pass, take the path n. 472 which runs through the wood along Monte Pelmetto and leads to cross the path that goes up to the rock. The latter is slippery in some sections due to the dirt and gravel ground. From the bottom it is already possible to see the boulder and climbing up towards the wall of Mount Pelmetto, you reach the place of discovery. Here you can see three distinct dinosaur tracks from the Triassic period. This excursion is easy and suitable for the whole family and it is complementary to the visit of the Vittorino Cazzetta museum, in Selva di Cadore, which with its exhibition rooms, guides the visitor to the geological history of the valley: it offers a synthesis, starting from prehistory, of the Val Fiorentina, showing the geological conformation of the Dolomites and guards the skeleton of the “Man of Mondeval”, in an intact Mesolithic sepulcher, with a rich funeral equipment, another sensational discovery in 1987 by Vittorino Cazzetta. Valmo, as this Mesolitic man was called, dates back to 7500 years ago and it is the main character of the museum which every year welcomes lots of young students, families and scientists who want to discover more about this ancient valley. Who knows how many other witnesses of the past the land here keeps still undiscovered.

Ideale per famiglie. Parte dalla piazza centrale della località Masarè di Alleghe sulle rive del Lago di Alleghe, che si è formato nel 1711 a seguito dello slittamento di una parte del Monte Piz. Alla sua origine sono legate alcune curiose leggende. Per raggiungere la cascate oltrepassare impianti tennis di Pian Grant e continuare sulla destra. Lo scroscio dell’acqua annuncia ben presto La cascata Ru de Rialt. Easy walk, suitable for families and people without particular physical preparation. It starts from the central square of Masarè di Alleghe, on the shore of the Lake of Alleghe whose origins date back to 1771 when a part of Monte Piz collapsed, creating a huge landslide that blocked the Cordevole river as it flowed down the valley creating a natural basin. A second minor landslide occurred in May of the same year collapsing in the newly formed lake and causing a wave that rose in the direction of the valley of the Zunaia stream. It reached the village of Alleghe destroying the rectory, part of the church and a number of houses. Legend has it that the church bell tower collapsed completely, swept away by the enormous wave and the bells dissapeared into the deep of the lake. According to the legend, you can still catch a glimpse of the tip of the submerged bell tower on certains days when the waters are particularly clear. The walk towards the waterfall climbs up to the tennis court at Piàn Grant, and then turns right onto a path that leads to a water intake. Here proceed to the left, always slightly uphill to a short flat stretch that leads to a wooden bridge, that should not be crossed; instead continue straight in the direction of the water jump. In a few minutes you reach the Ru de Rialt Waterfall, announced by the rush of water and preceded by the refreshing fall of the nebulized droplets. Return back to the same path. This escursion is ideal for children or people who want to approach the world of trekking in a simple way, or who just need a short and restoring break from the stress of the everyday life.
