DISCOVER VAL FIORENTINA
Agricultural farm managed by Renè Spada
Come and discover Malga Pien de Vacia. We will welcome you with the warmth and kindness that distinguishes us, to make you experience the very special world of a Dolomite mountain pasture. Savour the genuine products of our produce, have lunch on the panoramic terrace of the Malga in a typical mountain environment, the starting and ending point of enchanting excursions.
The Malga is run by the Spada family who practice mountain pasture, an agro-zootechnical activity carried out in the mountains, in the summer months.
The house, the stable, the small dairy, the well-stocked shop, the delightful farmhouse, the meadow-pasture, and our numerous animals, are the set of stable and changing elements that make up our Malga.
For the happy functioning of this typical alpine reality and the good attendance by the numerous tourists who visit it daily, we wish to share with you the necessary precautions to preserve its consolidated harmony.
A Malga is also the home of many animals that every day follow a precise routine for their balance. The respect we wish to maintain with our four-legged collaborators is one of the fundamental aspects of our reality.
SO WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO:
• Limit the noises so as not to frighten cows, calves, horses, dogs and all animals that could suddenly and unexpectedly move and therefore be a risk to their own safety.
• Respect the spaces frequented by animals. Therefore, not entering the stable or the enclosures / spaces dedicated to them without asking for the supervision of the employees of the Malga itself.
• All the animals of the Malga follow a precise and balanced diet. We therefore ask you not to give them food as it could unintentionally cause them eating disorders (io metterei digestive issues che è’ meno grave).
• Like all of us, animals also have a natural protective instinct towards their puppies. They also have different characters and lived experiences that can make them react in sometimes unpredictable ways. Also for this reason we remind you that you are entering their home. Therefore the correct attitude must be that of a respectful guest.
• For the visitors of the Malga, tables with benches are available in the lawn in front of the structure, where you can consume the products purchased at the Malga. It is not allowed to consume one's own food and drinks, and of course you must not leave waste behind. A golden rule in the mountains is that "Everything that is transported upstream must be brought back downstream".
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in keeping this area clean and tidy.
• Access by motorized vehicles from the valley is allowed only for the purpose of frequenting the Malga. It is therefore not a parking lot for personal excursions or mushroom picking. We also ask you to moderate your speed along the entire route and to keep the vehicles at walking pace in the vicinity of the Malga as the area is frequented by children and free animals.
• In the woods surrounding the Malga area, and in the Malga itself, there are electrified fences to contain grazing animals. Please do to touch them and do not damage them during your walks, taking care to open or close the passages correctly so that no gateways are created for the livestock.
• There are many guests who come here with their little four-legged companions. We are happy to welcome your little friends to our Malga. However, we would like to point out that they too are guests who enter an area that has always been home for our animals. We therefore ask you to keep dogs on a leash so as not to incur into involuntary misunderstandings with our resident animals.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation
