The Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Nature Park is an embrace of nearly 200 km² where nature reigns supreme, from the majestic Pale di San Martino to the ancient Paneveggio forests. Here, man and nature dance together in balance, with rural activities blending harmoniously with tourism, creating a true sanctuary of life. Its lands, such as the Pale di San Martino, Val Venegia, and the Colbricon lakes, are strict reserves where nature remains untouched, while in other areas like Val Canali, traditional activities are celebrated. The deep green of the centuries-old forests merges with the ethereal pink of the Pale and the intense gray and reddish hues of the Lagorai rocks. A place where the blue of the lakes reflects the sky and the tawny coats of roe deer and stags move gracefully.

The deer mating season
At the beginning of autumn, in the Paneveggio Pale di San Martino Nature Park, you can witness one of nature’s most thrilling spectacles: the deer mating season. The forests resonate with their deep roars, a powerful call that breaks the silence of autumn nights. Males compete for dominance over the harem, sometimes engaging in spectacular duels that showcase the strength and majesty of these animals.
A unique experience in the heart of the Dolomites, best enjoyed with the guidance of the park’s wildlife experts during guided excursions and themed evenings dedicated to listening to the stags’ calls and discovering the park’s wild fauna and biodiversity.
