Objevte krásy Dolomiti Alta Badia

The Dolomites, with the mountains of Sas dla Crusc on one side and the Pütia on the other one, provide the frame for the snow-covered meadows, old barns and farmsteads with the gardens of the 'viles', the traditional rural settlements in the oldest part of La Val. During this simple walk through the old farmsteads of the village, you will feel enveloped by the still living tradition and culture of the village. In addition, on your way you will see the little church of St. Barbara, the symbol of the village, and the bell tower of the old church of La Val.

Along the trail, there are two agritourisms, 'Ciablun' and 'Lüch de Survisc', where you can stop to savour the authentic and genuine dishes of the Ladin cuisine.

This hike will take you from San Cassiano to the Malga Valparola alp - closed during summer 2025, a historic site, where the mineral extracted in Livinallongo was transported, melted and transformed into iron. The ruins of the melting furnaces are now abandoned and in pieces. Today, only the German hut’s name “Eisenöfenalm“ (Hut of the Iron Furnaces), serves as a reminder of the economic prosperity, now long gone but once enjoyed by this extraordinarily picturesque place.

This easy hike with little variation in altitude goes along gravel roads and wide trails across a high plateau typical of the Dolomites, with Alpine pasture land and inviting mountain huts.

Walk, breathe, gather and learn

Alta Badia, in collaboration with Etifor, has identified the Masisti Forest at Passo Campolongo as the ideal location for creating the Food Forest. Thanks to the WOWnature project, the reforestation process began in 2020 after the damage caused by the Vaia storm. In this forest, which is open to visitors during the summer months, a rich biodiversity has developed, and you can now find delightful surprises, including blueberries, raspberries, wild strawberries, juniper berries, and elderberries. Visitors can create their own self-guided paths to discover what Mother Nature has to offer. Along the trail, informational panels reveal the secrets of the forest and provide tips on how the herbs and fruits gathered are used in traditional Ladin cuisine.

The little church of Santa Barbara, dating back to the 15th century, on the hills above the village of La Val, a very panoramic location.

The inhabitants of this place still have very vivid memories of the history of the Lords of Rü: some centuries ago they buried money and precious jewellery near the church.

Walk from Corvara along the river Rü Tort to La Villa, easy walk through the woods. 

Piz Boé, in the Sella Group, stands at 3,152 meters and is one of the most accessible peaks over 3,000 meters, making it a popular destination for hikers. However, it's important to note that the ascent from Corvara and the return to Passo Gardena, as outlined in this route, are quite demanding. While climbing equipment isn't required, sure-footedness and mountain experience are essential for tackling this hike. The route primarily traverses rocky terrain, with sections of scree and an equipped trail. As you ascend, the landscape changes, offering breathtaking views of some of the most iconic Dolomite peaks, including the Marmolada, Civetta, Catinaccio, and Sassolungo. At the summit, you'll find the small Capanna Piz Fassa hut, where you can spend the night. However, the true reward is the stunning panorama that only an altitude of over 3,000 meters can provide. The descent involves crossing part of the massif before reaching Gardena Pass.

Extremely enjoyable excursion which, from San Cassiano/Piz Sorega, crosses the breathtaking meadows of Pralongiá, renowned for their profusion of flowers.The panorama here is spectacular, stretching from the Lavarela to the Lagazuoi summits, from the Marmolada to the Grup dl Sela, from Puez to Pütia and looking to the north, right up to the glaciers of the Central Alps on their border with Austria.

This easy circular hike between La Villa and Badia goes just a short distance along the floor of the valley, partly through meadows, partly through woodland, from farm to farm, with little variation in altitude and lovely views of the beautiful "viles" of Alta Badia.

The "viles" are settlements that were built in the form of a circle so that each settlement was surrounded by its farmland.

The open-air art gallery, with works by artists from the Dolomites region, is quite unique. The "Tru di Artisć" (artists' path) between La Villa and San Cassiano was created in summer 2011 and a new sculpture is added every now and then. Continuing across meadows and pasture land, you pass through San Cassiano to Armentarola at the feet of the Lavarela and Conturines.

The "Tru di artisć", as the path of the artists is called in Ladin, is an open-air gallery that was inaugurated in summer 2011 and is regularly enriched with artworks by various artists from the Ladin valleys. The starting point of the exhibition is in La Villa in the neighbourhood of Altin. The approximately 3.5 km long path is closed to motorised traffic and winds along the Gadera River to the Museum Ladin Ursus ladinicus in San Cassiano.

As among the various artistic forms, poetry plays an essential role in addition to sculpture several panels have been erected along the path in this regard, presenting verses in Ladin language.

This easy hike starts in San Cassiano and takes you through a winter wonderland of magical beauty.

The view from the Pralongiá plateau is unique, with a 360° panorama of some of the most beautiful peaks in the Dolomites: from the Marmolada glacier to the Sella massif, from the Fanes group to the peaks on the southern edge of the Puez-Odle Natural Park, such as the Sassongher and Sass de Pütia.

The Sella massif, in all its grandeur, also offers numerous hiking routes for those who wish to experience the mountains at a relatively high altitude but without necessarily having to tackle via ferrata or overly technical sections. You will start this excursion from the scenic Vallon area at an altitude of more than 2500 metres, from which you will enjoy recognizing the majestic surrounding peaks. As you descend, you will cross both stretches of grassland and slabs of stone and scree. Of course, you will not be able to pass up a stop at Lake Lech de Boé to admire its unique turquoise waters. In the final part of the route, you will reach the cool forest near the stream, before reaching the villages at the bottom of the valley.

Our village of La Val, known as „Hiking village“, offers several hiking possibilities, of which the most suggestive, and suitable for the whole family, is the one through the Armentara meadows.

After the very first steps, a breathtaking natural scenery will open up right in front of you amidst meadows full of different types of plants such as the wild orchid and gentian, which in spring reach the peak of their flowering.

At this point you will be immersed in our country's best-known landscape. Looking up, you can admire the grandeur of the Sas dla Crusc massif.

Do you want to experience a unique emotion? Find the hut from where you can send greetings to your loved ones by writing a postcard that will be sent twice a year: in spring at the first blossom of the flowers, and in winter when the first snowflake falls.

Continuing on the path through the Fanes-Sennes-Braies Nature Park, you will find yourself in front of the iconic La Crusc/Santa Croce church dating back to 1484. From here, the view expands from the Piz La Ila plateau, to the Marmolada glacier.
