Earth pyramids of Platten, Natural hoodoo formations in Percha, Italy.

The Earth Pyramids of Platten consist of tall clay columns topped with large boulders, reaching heights between 1550 and 1750 meters in elevation.

Following heavy rainstorms in the 19th century, landslides and continuous erosion shaped these natural formations, interrupting an ancient mule track between Thalerhof and Sopranessano.

The hiking path includes wooden sculptures along the Time Trail, representing local interpretations of temporal concepts through artistic installations.

The trail starts at parking lot P2 on Via Plata, extending 3 kilometers with a 200-meter elevation gain, requiring approximately 90 minutes to complete.

Each pyramid transforms through seasonal changes, with winter erosion and spring regeneration creating new formations while others diminish over time.
