Entrance
The educational area of ¿¿Sottolajolo can be accessed by passing through a double leaf gate (130 cm wide each) and a path of about 5 meters slightly uphill (slope of 6%) with a firm and compact surface.
Reception
The educational area, starting point of the visit to the "Sottolajolo" itinerary, has a large space with descriptive panels (100 cm high above the ground) in Italian and English, a panel in Braille (120 cm above the ground) and an audio guide in Italian and in English accessible through a QR code. The last panel, representing the cast of rock 4, allows a tactile exploration of the engravings (100 cm above the ground).
Itinerary
The Reserve includes a large area with rock engravings concerning a wide period of time (from the fifth millennium BC to the Dark Ages).
The routes are marked and take you to discover the many engravings representing scenes of hunting, war and daily life of the ancient inhabitants of the Valley.
The recommended route for people with disabilities is the "Sottolajolo" itinerary that is designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility and visual impairment. The other itineraries are not very easy due to the slopes and the uneven pavement of the paths.
The Sottolajolo trail
The Sottolajolo trail, about 100 meters long, has a compact paved surface and the last part is sometimes uneven.
For those people with a visual impairment who have chosen this trail, a handrail has been installed along the route (96 cm above the ground). The guided tour ends with an installation that allows the visitor to hear the noise produced while engraving the rocks.
Along the route, at the rocks, there are 6 descriptive panels, in Italian and English, with a description in Braille (69 cm above the ground).
On rock 1 there is a Camunian rose, one of the most important symbols of rock art in Valcamonica.
Orientation signage
In the park, there are directional arrows with high contrast and large lettering (at least 7 cm).
