Val dl’Ert
Art Park
Val dl’Ert, from the ladin Art Valley, is an art park located in the town of San Martino in Badia, Val Badia, in the province of Bolzano. This is a permanent exhibition of the sculptures acquired during the last editions of the SMACH art biennale. Situated in an alpine forest, intact and far away from civilisation, you can see works by artists from all over the world. Art in a natural context establishes a complementary relationship between them, enriching each other through a continuous dialogue.
The art park Val dl’Ert is freely accessible and free of charge, visitors can spend a few hours in total tranquillity in the middle of nature that aims preserve an authentic alpine dimension. For those who wish to explore more in-depth the artworks and the context in which they are immersed, there is the possibility of participating in guided tours.
The concept of Val dl'Ert is based on three columns: exhibition area, educational center and cultural space.

Val dl’Ert Map
The Val dl'Ert is conceived as a work in progress: the collection is enriched after each edition of the SMACH art biennale and the place wants to be like a concept-space open to different cultural realities. Therefore, the main elements of the park can be identified: the interaction of works of art with nature and the environment where they are inserted and the representation of international artists.

Art&Nature program
The Art&Nature program is a learning experience for schools that combines artistic discovery with direct contact with the alpine environment. Through guided activities in the Val dl’Ert art park, students explore the dialogue between contemporary art and nature, reflecting on creativity, sustainability, and cultural diversity.
During the visit, classes are guided through the artworks in the park, discovering how each piece interacts with the surrounding forest. This experience encourages observation and interpretation, showing how art can exist in harmony with the natural landscape. The program also offers workshops and discussions, giving students the chance to deepen their understanding of the artworks while developing their own creative responses inspired by nature. Themes such as environmental awareness, the role of art in society, and cultural exchange enrich the experience with a wider perspective. The Art&Nature program can be adapted to different school levels and ages.
