Connection to Novella river
AlMeleto is a very unique and special trail located in Val di Non, the apple valley. A walk for everyone, along which it’s possible to explore new places, know more about apples and its cultivation, enjoy amazing unknown view of Val di Non, rest in the wood, guess, read or simply have a walk. Anyway, the main theme of the walking path is the interactive storytelling of the apple’s production available through visual and educational elements.
Some of the designing themes along the trail
Here as follow, some of the themed point of interest that have been designed and created.
These spontaneous species bloom with different timing and, as a consequence, they attract so many butterflies and bees that guarantee biodiversity and amazing landscapes too.
Biodiversity
The collaboration with local craftsmen it’s a marketing effort to enhance the local economy and the trail could be seen as a sort of open air showroom.
Craft and territory
A wooden panoramic view will let visitors discover the villages on the left side of the valley, the Rio Novella canyon and the whole overlook of the valley full of apple trees.
For that reason, the wooden platform is a perfect point for painting, sketching and foliage lovers.
Craft and territory
Each variety of apple will be showed and presented as well as the various modality of cultivation and the biological characteristics of the apples. Several educational boards will guide the trail, provide informations through illustrations and descriptions and ask for the explorer’s interaction.

The project wants to integrate the spontaneous plant life with some groups of Thymus serpyllum, Lavandula angustifolia, Salvia pretenses and Santoreggia montana.

This piece of furniture encourages a pit stop and suggests the spontaneous abandonment of books that will be then available for the following explorers in order to become a book crossing point. Since the wooden stationing is covered, it will also play as perfect shelter for those who want to have some rest even during the autumn.

Among the many outdoor furniture, mostly created with wood by local artisans, you will find a long track for wooden marbles, a tagada and a wide relax area suitable for children too.
