The Catinaccio area was the kingdom of Laurin, the king of the dwarves, who once cultivated a beautiful rose garden on this mountain. After abducting Princess Simhild, whom he was madly in love with, he was attacked and defeated by none other than the great Theodoric, king of the Goths, who also destroyed the marvellous rose garden. Since then, the king of the dwarves, embittered and with injured pride, took refuge inside the mountain where he continues to grow his roses with an even more intense red that, at sunset, colours the Dolomite’s spires in memory of the magnificent rose garden destroyed by his enemies.
These itineraries will take skiers from one slope to the other with magnificent and always new views over fairy-tale landscapes that don’t need a magic wand to be changed into reality. It is a very beautiful and emotion-packed area especially for young people interested in stories and tales of adventures in this part of the Alps.
