A sculpture made with the wood wreckage from storm Vaia
Just like the famous Winged Vaia Dragon and The Vaia Stag on Alpe Cimbra, this piece of art was made from the wood from trees that were destroyed by storm Vaia. On the night of 29 October 2018, this relentless storm unleashed its hurricane-force winds and deeply wounded our mountains. On that night, Vetriolo was the hardest hit, with uprooted trees and entire forests destroyed.
As in all of his sculptures, Martalar did non paint or treat the wood used to make the Lagorai She-wolf to protect it, rather he left the material in its natural state The She-wolf is destined to gradually disappear as time, wind, and snow take their toll on it.
Where is the Lagorai She-wolf?
The Lagorai She-wolf, with her head raised to the sky, is an uplifting sculpture. In order to see it you must go to 1,600 metres asl and reach a clearing that opens up to the Valsugana and its two lakes, Caldonazzo and Levico.
Once you have parked your car in Vetriolo, you can walk the Pian de la Casara forest road for approximately one kilometre which is near the car park for the paragliding and hang gliding launch pad.
