The town of Predazzo
is the most populous of Fiemme, built on the valley at the confluence of the Avisio and Travignolo.
It is famous for its volcanic activity contemporaneous with dolomite formations, which have promoted the beginning of 'eight hundred an interesting form of cultural tourism - geology.
Some houses in the old town are decorated with frescoes of value.
Interesting heritage of traditional life is the "Regola Feudale" with 800 neighbors and Feudal lords, the great church dedicated to SS Philip and James, the church of S. Mary of the Snow, set by farmers and blessed in 1722 and that of Our Lady of the Assumption rebuilt in 1926.
The nature in Fiemme
is a great resource 30 000 hectares of forests, 60 million trees, 2 parks for 20 000 hectares of protected areas, a dense network of footpaths and mountain trails and unique geological area. Although the long tradition of hospitality has led us to develop a comprehensive accommodation and facilities for sport and leisure, this valley has remained in harmony with an environment where nature continues to be a great resource for tourism . Various development projects of the area enable the guests to take advantage of this properly
esclusivo heritage, thanks to the careful and respectful of the local population by age-old,
from this natural wealth, has managed to draw the resources to live, now handing the tourists a "corner" green path for over 200 km of forest trails and an extensive network of trails, once constructed and used for agroforestry activities.
Of the 49,772 hectares of land Fiemme, 30,000 (60%) are occupied by forest, 10,000 (20%) from the pasture, meadows and cultivated fields extend over 3,000 hectares (6%) of the remaining 6,700 hectares, 12 % is occupied
rocks and streams, and only 2% from the areas urbane.Nel its territory, the Fiemme includes two protected areas of great
interest: the natural park of Monte Corno who shared with the neighboring province of Bolzano, dating from the slopes of the valley of the Adige and the natural park of Paneveggio, 19 000 hectares of protected area, characterized by a large wooded area, which framed by the Pale di San Martino, with geological features, flora and fauna uniche.Ma really the whole valley can be called a real park, thanks to the vast extent of woods, cultivated for centuries in a respectful , represented, especially in the past, a source of livelihood
for the local population. These forests, which for decades will expand at a rate of about one hundred acres per year, to the detriment of the meadow and pasture, less used, also positively affect air quality and climate, also favored by the orientation of Valley, which stretches from west to predominantly Est.
Higher up, the summer pastures, rich in lakes and streams. And higher still, the rocks, not only peaks, but also an outstanding testimony
geological layers from the period of volcanic porphyry (270 million years ago) to the youngest dolomite concretions, barriers
coral, 5 million years ago, have turned into real
"Mountains fossil", have become famous throughout the world.
