Exploring the woods is a unique experience, but it requires attention to avoid dangers such as slippery terrain, fog, cold or storms. Prevention and preparation are essential: check weather reports, use hiking maps and follow marked trails. Wear sturdy shoes, technical clothing, long trousers and bring a small first aid kit, food and water.

Walking in company is safer; if you are alone, inform someone of your itinerary. Avoid picking plants, berries or mushrooms without the necessary knowledge, as they can be toxic. Always stay on the trails and observe wild animals from a distance without approaching or feeding them, as this could harm them. Keep your dog on a leash to avoid accidents with wildlife and to prevent the transmission of diseases.

If you encounter a puppy or an injured animal, do not touch it and contact the Provincial Forestry Corps at 112. In Fai della Paganella, the bear is present as a shy and fearful animal: avoid surprising it and leave space for it to escape.

Finally, take your waste back down the valley: the presence of bins is limited to avoid attracting wild animals. Respect the forest, keeping it clean and safe for everyone.
