Crisp air in the MontagnAnimata and something different every day. The travelling shows will take you on 3 thematic paths: the Forest of Dragons, the Absent-Minded Shepherd and the Geotrail Dos Capèl. MontagnAnimata is in the mountains between Gardonè (1650 m) and Passo Feudo (2200 m) a few minutes from Predazzo in Val di Fiemme in Trentino in the Dolomites World Heritage Site.
You can choose to walk on these easy paths ideal for families and children and enjoy yourself, together with strange, funny and unexpected characters. Some of them know what they’re doing, others are like characters come out of a book.
The travelling shows along the paths are planned on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The shows taking place on Thursdays are staged in the natural amphitheatre, a few steps from the cable car Predazzo-Gardonè.
All kind of shows for families and children await you in Gardonè. Whether you decide to join the travelling shows or the exhibitions in the amphitheater, you will have a crazy fun!

travelling shows along the Dragon Forest
ideal for families and children from 2 years of age (duration 1h30′)
Of never seen before proportions, between persian red and scarlet, slightly wrinkled, motionless. “It’s a giant egg! A sensational discovery”, after so much wandering in search of clues, Nikolaus Drache does not hold back his emotion. “Au-scul-to-sco-pio is what is needed to capture the frequency and intensity of a dragon’s heart”.
Tuesday, from 4 July to 22 August, 2023 (except 11/07 and 25/07)
cable car arrival Predazzo-Gardonè
at 11.00 am
ideal for families (duration 1h30′)
Many clearings left free from trees, covered with heather and wild flowers. Nature takes its course and our scientists, observing the bees on the Latemar, have an intuition: maybe the Dahù does communicate also with pheromones! It is those tiny substances that attract, repel and alarm us. Is that so? Maybe the Dahu knows.
Walking along the path of the Distracted Shepherd, the walk for children and families, will be even better with the travelling show.
Wednesday, from 5 July to 23 August, 2023 (except 12/07 and 26/07)
chair lift arrival Gardonè-Passo Feudo
at 11.00 am
ideal for families and children from 5 years of age (duration 1h30′)
Along the Dos Capèl trail, our intrepid Gea meets a young geologist. The past and the present, the experience and the science, all come together. Two women with the same desire: discovering the secrets hiding among the most beautiful mountains of the world, the Dolomites.
Walking along the Geotrail Dos Capèl will be even better with the travelling show.
The shows in the amphitheatre are ideal for the whole family. As you reach take the trail on the left and then left again and you will find our open-air amphitheatre. You can sit down on a trunk, on a rock or on the meadow. Let yourself be captivated by a thousand different stories.

with Cristiano Marin
Juggler, entertainer and tightrope walker. He offers a colourful show and amuses families and children. He loves danger, just like the best jugglers. He amazes everyone with his improbable acrobatics and interacts with his audience from the top of his giant unicycle.

Squares, streets, theatres: Otto the Dachshund has travelled everywhere. In less than 10 minutes he disappears in a giant balloon and begins to dance. He moves lightly, he has got only rubber in his luggage! His giant balloons are special: handmade and, when spread outdoors in the sun, they dry like egg pasta sheets.

In the woods, in the open-air, we are ready to reactivate the senses and discover the circus game. Acrobatics, flying balls, tightropes: the circus is a creative gamee that awakens the body and entertains.
You can learn better by doing, and that’s exactly what we will do! It will be a true botanical circus laboratory.
