Puez-Geisler (o delle Odle)

The Puez-Geisler/Puez-Odle Nature Park, which covers an area of 10,722 hectares, can be described as the “building site of the Dolomites.” Geologists can observe all of the rock types, tectonic upheavals and erosion forms typical of the Dolomites. The upper reaches of the Park include desert-like karst plateaus, fertile Alpine pastures, bizarrely jagged peaks, majestic rock walls. The deep gorges carved out by erosion and dense forests of conifers offer a kaleidoscope of landscape forms rarely found in such a limited area.
