The old secrets of the mountain peasant tradition

Sora i Pré is a panoramic path on the slopes of Ciampedie that crosses the history of mountain agricultural culture, its urban and architectural development.

A walk winds above the meadows of Pozza that reaches Pera, skirting the woods upstream and the meadows downstream. All around, the panorama reveals the Costabella ridges and the Valacia Group. The meadows that give the path its name, until the 50s, were land used for the production of barley, rye and potatoes. They were divided into very fragmented land plots which over time even became pulverized. In fact, in the Ladin tradition, contrary to the rule of the closed farm, the land was divided equally among all the family heirs. While you walk, try to imagine sloping fields where agricultural work was particularly tiring, where every spring it was necessary to plow, bringing back upstream the soil that the winter had accumulated downstream with wooden wheelbarrows, trip after trip. This work was entrusted to young people and women because men, in the warm seasons, emigrated for work.

Walk from Vigo to Pera (n. 32)

This walk connects the villages of Vigo, Pozza and Pera with a panoramic route that develops on the lower slopes of Ciampedie, on the border between the forest and the meadows of Sorapoza. The route alternates flat stretches, modest climbs and descents, overcoming numerous depressions. The walk is largely shaded and equipped with tables and benches placed in the most open and panoramic places. From the center of Vigo, go up Strada de Piz turning right near a covered fountain. A little further on, you cross the Ruf de Pantl stream and continue along an easy dirt forest road, accompanied by a magnificent panorama of the peaks that protect Pozza. You skirt the town from above, then losing altitude, across the meadows, near the first houses of Pera (Strada de la Taboca).
