WHO ARE THESE MYSTERIOUS SALVÀNS ?
The legend of "the
pale mountains"…
They are creatures of the legends in the tradition
of the Ladini population, believed to be the first inhabitants
of the Dolomites, known also as Salvanèl, Om dal Bosch,
Om Salvarech, Matharol. One of the best well known legends regarding
these creatures tells the moon's princess Lusor del Luna (Moon's
Light) marrying the prince who lives in the reign of the mountains.
The princess follows the prince to his reign but cannot adapt
herself to the Earth's atmosphere and risks death. The Salvàns,
who live hidden in the forests, begin to spin the moon's rays
and they magically cover the mountains which start to shine in
a pale light, very similar to the moon landscape, so that the
princess can live in the prince's reign and fulfil her love dream… From
that moment on the Dolomites are also knows as "the pale
mountains"!
