Geotrail Dos Capèl

The Geotrail Dos Capèl is a walk in the mountains of medium difficulty for children and families. Take the cable car to Gardonè and the chair lift to Passo Feudo where the Geotrail Dos Capèl starts. The walk is a loop of 3.5 km, with a vertical drop of 268 m. Without reservation.

The trail starts and ends at the same point, a few meters from the chair lift and the Passo Feudo mountain hut. Panoramic and sunny, it takes about 2 hours and  no need to be guided. The walk is suitable for families and children; a baby carrier for kids 0-2 years is recommended. The Dos Capèl is located at 2200 m (7218 ft) in Val di Fiemme at the foot of the Latemar in Trentino Dolomites World Heritage Site.

The best way to walk the Geotrail Dos Capèl path and discover the geology of these mountains is with the gamebook full of clues and riddles. You will need observation skills, memory and spirit of adventure. Don’t forget to come and visit on Wednesdays to experience the travelling show “The Adventures of Gea on the Earth Crust” (in italian).

The Geotrail Dos Capèl is a thematic path with installations set by the MUSE–Trento Science Museum and the Geological Museum of the Dolomites in Predazzo. It is a mid difficulty walk for children and families to discover the beauty of the Latemar, the geology and the Triassic world.
