Sentiero delle Marmotte

We loved them! We went around 9 in the morning and it was just us there and a big family of animals. They’re on the left side of the waterfall.

Fabulous experience! We arrived at lunch time and as expected, we could not see the animals, but we've managed in the late afternoon at around 6 pm. The place is easy to find according to the suggestions already given by other travelets. We've decided that next time we will bring other type of vegetables for them as they seem to have had enough of carrots! :)

Unfortunately we didn't see the marmots, I would recommend to visit really really early (marmots only come out in the morning and afternoon, but when you come early in the morning there aren't a lot of people and dogs)
The waterfall is also really amazing and you could even take a little swim!

We found the marmots and fed them some apples which was fun! There were so many people feeding them though that I now wonder if tourists are more harm than good (I know I was no help to this today). Some people were petting them which I definitely think must be a bad idea (because we can transfer diseases to them? I’m really not sure though). This is not a zoo, this just seems to be their natural habitat.

They are also hard to find. When you walk toward the waterfall, you have to cross the river bed away from the water fall toward a wall (we saw rock climbers the day we went which was cool).

Unfortunatelly I can't see any Animals, but the mountains here are beautiful. You must see the small waterfall.

It didn’t disappoint. We saw a marmot at the spot. We learnt that marmot don’t like apple.
The location is also a great spot for rock climbing. In addition, there is the crystal clear fresh streams you can dip your feet in. Snow melting cold, but refreshing!

We went around 7am and we saw 3-4 super cute marmots. If you go later on I think they will be scared away, because many people bring their dogs and there are a lot of climbers around.

One of the nice surprises in the Dolomites. 10 minutes walk off the road and you get to ‘holes’. Try to be quiet, patient and bring carrots and peaches.

Sooo cute these little fluffies 😻

Bring some peanuts in a shell, they love them the most! And please don’t stack rocks near their caves, as when marmots play outside the rocks fall on them 😞

It is a really nice place to stop, the area was quiet and impressive. The marmottes live around a bench in front of the mountain wall at the left side of the waterfall

Don't forget to take carrots with you!

With patience you can get really close to the animals. Great place

The marmots were right there just chillin. Bring some carrots.

Nice, especially with children!

Quaet nice place with beautyful waterfall

Come specificato è consigliato da altri utenti e visitatori, mi accodo pure io, recatevi in questo luogo la mattina presto o la sera. Noi siamo arrivati intorno alle 10 e a malapena siamo riusciti a intravedere 1 marmotta. Fermo restando che le marmotte non sono lì per il nostro diletto, ma vivono stanzialmente al di sotto di una ripida parete roccioso, se proprio volete immortalarle vi consiglio queste 2 fasce orarie. Ormai le marmotte sono abituate alla presenza dell'uomo e vi tollereranno.

Sulla strada che porta da Canazei al passo Sella, a ca 6 km dal passo si trova il rifugio Pian Schiavaneis e nelle immediate vicinanze parte il sentiero che porta prima a delle cascate e poi ad un luogo "magico" dove potete entrare in contatto con un gruppo di marmotte che fanno capolino ben volentieri dalle loro tane per farsi ammirare e anche accarezzare con un po di accortezza (prediligono frutta secca, ma non disdegnano anche le carote). È presente un cartello che ricorda che è vietato dare da mangiare agli animali selvatici. Il tragitto è di ca 10-15 minuti senza soste. Il sentiero parte a monte del rifugio.

Percorso facile. Dal parcheggio lungo la strada in 10 minuti si arriva sotto una parete dove viene fatta arrampicata. Qui ci sono numerose tane di marmotte e se si arriva presto è possibile vederne numerose e dando loro qualche verdura da mangiare è possibile avvicinarle. Fantastico, esperienza molto carina.

Esperienza unica! Bellissimo ed emozionante.. ci siamo recati due volte. La prima volta erano le 10:30 e le marmotte erano già andare via. Si consiglia di andare presto, tipo le 8/9 e soprattutto senza cani al seguito perché le marmotte appena sentono i cani da lontanato, entrano nelle tane e non escono più.
