THE SEATED PATH
Going up with the chairlift to the exceptional panoramic point of Sella Brunech (2428 metres) you reach a plateau surrounded by the Dolomites and the wonderful wooden works of art by the artist Marco Nones.
Using recycled wood from ancient huts of the area, Marco Nones has created unlikely seats, which spark cheerfulness in visitors and enrich the surrounding natural environment.
More than ten thrones and benches to try: from the bench for a checkered tan, which consists of a wooden chessboard and a throne, to the happy bench and the uncomfortable thrones. But also the napping throne, the VIP area with the chaise longue, the bench for lovers and other fun seats.
After admiring and trying out the various seats at Sella Brunech, you can hike along the panoramic ridges leading to Col de Valvacin and discover the other fun thrones installed in the Buffaure area along the trail.
We are waiting for you at high altitude to have fun and take some beautiful pics on your favorite throne!
