This geo-excursion lets the observer examine the karst phenomena that characterize the limestone outcrops of the Alta Valle (upper valley) of the Bût torrent. The itinerary also leads to the karst source of the Fontanon and to one of the caves that form the complex subterranean system of the mountain overlooking the village of Timau.
Along this route you will be able to observe aspects linked to landslides, erosion and the accumulation of debris.

The site's name says a lot: the "Rivoli Bianchi", in fact, is the fan of debris that opens before us, at the foot of Mount Amariana, descending from the deep fracture through which the Rio Citate flows. Its scientific name is "alluvial cone", and what we are facing is one of the largest active cones in Europe.
The Las Calas gorge is a natural monument carved out of the rock by water, which has polished it, creating evocative scenes. Along the way we can observe also the result of the enormous forces in action during the two orogenies and the crustal deformations that shaped the outcropping rocks.
Ancient fossil trees and the force of water characterize this Geotrail.
