The exclusive Ecorifugio della Cicerana, located at 1560 meters above sea level, is the ideal place as a starting point for excursions to aim fauna. Here bears have found their ideal habitat, with its dense woods, karst environment full of cavities and large clearings as grazing areas. We will wait patiently for the appearance of the magnificent plantigrade. We will enjoy the starry sky after sunset and will enjoy the warm hospitality of the Lodge.
