The route unfolds in the village of Dimaro Folgarida, within the hamlets of Monclassico and Presson: an open-air art gallery featuring over 50 sundials scattered throughout various locations in the two villages.
Strolling through the streets of these small villages, you will feel as if you are in a true open-air gallery, which changes depending on the season in which you embark on the route. The sundials, scattered across various points in the two villages, number more than 50 and were created by renowned local, national, and international artists, in collaboration with expert gnomonists, under the initiative of the Cultural Association "Le Meridiane." Among these, particularly notable are the horizontal sundial and the camera obscura.

Safety information

For a mountain hike, we suggest:

 

Choose a route suitable for your level of preparation. If in doubt, contact our Information Offices.

Plan your hike: check the weather forecast, the route you will follow, and the lift operating times if your itinerary includes their use. Remember that the accessibility of mountain trails is closely linked to current conditions and depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. Therefore, make sure to gather detailed information about the route and its conditions before setting out.

Leave information about your itinerary, your approximate return time, and bring your mobile phone.

Pay attention to the signs and markings along the way: signs of the Stelvio National Park, white and red SAT signs, and red and white paint marks on rocks or trees.

In case of an emergency, call 112.

Book in advance at the alpine hut or mountain lodge where you plan to eat or stay overnight.

Never leave trash behind, and if possible, avoid leaving it at huts or mountain lodges you visit.

If you spot wild animals along the trail, we urge you to stay on the path, avoid getting too close, don’t shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing and scaring them.
