See all
For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is best to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: high prices and regulation of access to pasture. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place
Ortisei
Ortisei attracts by its mix of living alpine village and surrounding landscapes, with an architecture that remains very legible from the entrance. Streets, shops and access to the massifs give a practical and sensitive experience at the same time. A good basis to understand the slow pace of the valley.
Place
Alpe di Siusi
I'm not sure what I'm doing.Alpe di Siusi offers flexible slopes where each step changes in intensity with the exposure of the relief. The views remain wide, but the details of vegetation and paths give immediate marks. The place will please whoever prefers a progressive exploration, between altitude and soft terrain.
Place
Sassolungo
Sassolungo gives a clear Alpine reading, with a rock mass that naturally guides the movements. The trails allow you to appreciate how natural lines guide the panoramas, then the surface details change depending on the passage. It is an area for travelers who want to feel the mountain without losing the shade.
Place
Santa Cristina Valgardena
Santa Cristina Valgardena places the village in direct contact with the Dolomites, with neat streets, mountain churches and clear views towards the walls of Sassolungo. The place is suitable as a base for walking or skiing, but also keeps a simple interest in observing the ladine life between carved wood and alpine pastures.
