Stunning views and multi-coloured wildflower meadows

Santa Croce and the Tour of Armentara

Splendid views that open up from the Runcac Hotel in Badia to Sasso di Santa Croce are just a brief preview of natural marvels reserved for those who decide to explore this magnificent place. With the help of the chairlifts Santa Croce and La Crusc (the most well-trained ones can also hike uphill) you will reach in a few minutes the sanctuary of Santa Croce at 2045 m a.s.l. Here the incredible beauty of the landscape takes the breath away and invites for an exciting downhill hike through the meadows of Armentara, famous for their amazing multi-coloured flowering. Another attraction of this area is the snow cave that can be usually visited throughout the whole summer. The trail is particularly recommended for nature lovers, but is also suitable for families with children.
