Grillstelle Plang la Curvanera

This is where the La Niva Natural Forest Reserve stretches out. The barbecue area can be reached on foot from Savognin in about 1.5 hours. In the La Niva Natural Forest Reserve, nature can develop freely. Trees are prohibited on around 50 hectares, and livestock must remain outside. The forest can thus unfold undisturbed. Here, trees can grow old, dead trees slowly decay and provide the basis for new life. This benefits countless fungal, plant and animal species that find little space to live in a managed forest. 70% of all trees in La Niva are mountain pines. In places like La Niva, where survival is hard, mountain pines are superior to other tree species. In this natural forest reserve, the forest becomes looser and looser towards the top and finally turns into open land. The black grouse feels at home here. There's plenty of food: leaves and buds of heather and alpine rose as well as blueberries.

In principle, it is also possible to use the fireplaces in Val Surses in winter, provided that the snow situation allows it. In this case, however, it would be necessary to bring the wood yourself. In addition, the risk of forest fires must also be taken into account in winter.
