Observe the things of the world as if they were ancient rocks formed by layers and layers of stories. Listen to what they say: they can connect you to the past and offer you a solid foundation for the future.
Good mountain air, the changeability of the landscape and the magic of the scenery: light and compact, this Personal Jo is the ideal companion during your excursions . It takes up little space in your backpack but it knows how to broaden your horizons, it doesn't weigh you down but it knows how to inspire deep reflections.
Majestic deer and ibex horns alternate with delicate flowers bathed in the sun; the profiles of the most beautiful and well-known peaks give way to lakes in which trees and mountains are reflected, in a silent continuous dialogue. Popular stories give a voice to nature: it seems that witches usually gather well protected by the fog that caresses the valleys. The legend of King Laurin, however, tells the origin of enrosadira , the phenomenon whereby the peaks here take on a fairy-tale reddish color at dawn and sunset.
The Dolomite rocks can be austere, but don't be fooled! As soon as the sun's rays peek out from behind the peaks, everything changes in an instant.
