The Serrai di Sottoguda, located in the Marmolada Nature Reserve at the foot of the Val Pettorina, are a marvellous natural treasure set in a gorge carved into the rock by the Pettorina Torrent, with walls over 100 metres high. Waterfalls and streams dominate this spectacular natural temple, which stretches for about 2.5 km. This oasis became a symbol of the disaster caused by storm Vaia in the autumn of 2018, which resulted in its immediate closure, still ongoing for a few days.
Between October and November 2018, the Pettorina torrent, due to the heavy rainfall caused by Storm Vaia, overflowed along the Serrai gorge, destroying its infrastructure. The flood caused irreparable damage to the road crossing the Serrai, sweeping away bridges, embankments and masonry. Immediately after the disaster, the6 unanimously decided to commit to planning the recovery of the Serrai, recognised as a landscape and environmental heritage of great value.
