Discover Ike’s World in Val Lumnezia
The story of Ike the fox is, as with many novels, based on real events😉. Well, perhaps that might be a slight exaggeration, but it certainly contains elements of truth. The first is the location where the adventure unfolds – the enchanting Lumnezia Valley.
Val Lumnezia is the largest valley in the southern Surselva. Sunny and expansive, it is affectionately known as the «Valley of Light». Despite its breathtaking beauty, the valley remains tranquil and secluded – the absence of through traffic makes it a hidden gem, accessible only to those who choose Val Lumnezia as their destination.
This enchanting valley is where Ike the fox and his family were born and grew up, and it serves as the setting for their adventures. Its serene landscapes, from dense forests to shimmering riverbanks, provide the perfect backdrop for their journey of discovery and resilience.
Val Lumnezia is a year-round haven for nature lovers, offering something magical in every season – calm walks through soft, snowy scenery in winter and breathtaking hikes through vibrant alpine meadows brimming with life in summer.
Beyond its beauty, Val Lumnezia is also a place of healing. Its springs, riverbanks, waterfalls, mountains, gorges, rocks, and caves are powerful natural sanctuaries, inviting visitors to recharge, find clarity, and let their spirits rest. Perhaps it’s no coincidence that this is also where Ike learns to face life’s challenges, finding his way home with hope, courage, and love.
Why not visit Val Lumnezia yourself and let its magical landscapes weave their spell on you? It’s a place where nature and imagination come together – a destination sure to leave you inspired and enchanted.
