A steep and little frequented valley immersed in lush and wild nature, isolated but easily reachable, Val Nardis is one of the access points to Presanella.
Val Nardis is a side valley of Val Genova. To access it, you must travel the valley road starting from Carisolo up to the Ponte Verde area, before the famous Nardis Waterfalls. If the barrier after the La Prisa restaurant is closed (seasonal closure), you will have to walk a short stretch to Ponte Verde.
From here you access the narrow and little frequented Val Nardis (trail marker 210), once traveled by shepherds and livestock who used to graze at the pastures of Malga Nardis and the higher Malga dei Fiori.
During the Great War, the hut area was involved in military positions and when, in 1916, the cableway was built that from the Carisolo glassworks reached Monte del Tamalè (essential for supplies and for transporting the first artillery pieces destined for Passo Scarazon delle Rocchette), the transport of supplies was also entrusted to Russian porters and prisoners housed at Malga Nardis and near the cableway arrival station. The Val Nardis cableway continued its precious work throughout the conflict.
