At the western edge of the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park there are some beautiful mountain meadows, characterised by a great variety of flowers in late spring and at the beginning of summer: the gentian, the globeflower and the alpine anemone grow here for example. Above the timber line the managed alpine pastures extend beneath the mighty rock faces of Mt. Sasso delle Dieci and the Sasso di Santa Croce Group. Also the famous Rif. Santa Croce (La Crusc) mountain hut with its homonymous pilgrimage church can be found here.
The Armentara Meadows (Roda de Armentara) cover a surface of 300 hectares and are accessible in a beautiful hike either from La Villa/Furnacia on the “Roda de Armentara” trail (1 hour) or from Badia/San Leonardo (90 minutes). In winter, however, they represent a popular destination for winter hikes: the snowy nature and the shining rocks create a very special atmosphere.
