One-day excursion to the Geo Park at the top of Col Margherita to immerse yourself in the history and geology of the Dolomites, including volcanoes, glaciers, islands, seabed and fossil traces
The Col Margherita Geo Park, created with the MUSE of Trento, is an incredible theme park at 2500 metres above sea level that offers an exciting journey through volcanoes, glaciers and islands, revealing step by step the history and geology of the Dolomites. A fascinating journey for all ages, where adults and children can explore the seabed and take a dip into the past, back 290 million years ago when the entire area was affected by violent volcanic eruptions that gave rise to the reddish-brown rocks.
