The Resciesa area offers three different running routes with a central starting point at the mountain station of the Resciesa funicular. This circular route invites you to discover the surroundings of the area in a sporty and above all healthy way.
From the “Mar Dolomit” swimming pool in Ortisei we run along the stream into the valley and follow the no. 18 path, which leads us over the path no. 30B until just under Monte Pana, past the notable Tervela Waterfall. At the base station of the chair lift we turn right to Ruacia, take the Ruacia road uphill to the roundabout in the centre of S. Cristina and from there up the Cisles road until we turn left over the old railway back to Ortisei. Longer Variant: We run along path no. 18, which takes us through the wild romantic Jender Valley towards Saltria and over the path no. 30A to the Monte Pana high plateau.
A 5 km long running track combined with 5 stations offers everyone the opportunity to keep their bodies fit in the great outdoors.
A unique snowshoe hike along snow-covered meadows and forests at the foot of the Sassolungo Group.
This route circling the Sassolungo massif is a superlative trial run. The beautiful landscape and the breathtaking views will make you forget the physical exertion. The route runs mostly on a constant elevation between approx. 2,200 m and 2,300 m, so that you experience only small changes in elevation. Starting point is at Sella Pass, from here we run alongside the path no. 557 (Friedrich August Way) to the Rifugio Sasso Piatto. Then we take the no. 527 path, which brings us below the Sasso Piatto to where it forks off to the Rifugio Vicenza. From here, we take the path no. 526 to Tramans. Here we continue on path no. 526 to the Comici hut and over the Città dei Sassi back to the Sella Pass.
The imposing mountain scenery of the Sella Group, the waterfall, the vertical climbing passages at Exner Tower, a suspension bridge and a mountain lake make the Pisciadù via ferrata
one of the most popular and busiest in the Dolomites.
This easy and leisurely running trail is very popular from the locals and leads you from Ortisei to S. Cristina. Along the entire course, runners can enjoy the beautiful view of the Dolomites.
The entrance to the Langental valley is located in Selva Gardena and runs through a pleasant walking and hiking path with views of the Stevia massif and the walls of the Puezgruppe on the left, as well as the Chedul Mountains and Col Turond on the right. Along the path you can find the mystical Silester Chapel.
According to the legend, a young local inhabitant, Count Jakob von Stetteneck, let it build in the middle of the woods in gratitude for coming back alive from Santiago de Compostela. He dedicated it to Saint Jakob, the protector of all hikers.
Tradition holds that the S. Giacomo church is the oldest one of the whole valley, since its own origin goes back to the 12th century. In historic-artistic terms, its Gothic frescos in the presbytery and the paintings from the 16th century near the pulpit, which represent scenes of the legend, are valuable and unique.
The Val Gardena Railway, which was built during the time of the former Austrian Monarchy to transport war materials from Chiusa to Plan, ceased operation in 1960. What remains is a lovely panorama road which connects the three Val Gardena towns and enjoys immense popularity with both walkers and runners alike. The route is suitable for both a short, gentle morning jog as well as for a long, extended run.
This Art & Nature Trail at Monte Pana in S. Cristina puts the focus on art and nature – on the artistic quality of the mountains and on the tradition of carving, deeply rooted in Val Gardena. The art works by acclaimed sculptors from Val Gardena stage S. Cristina, Monte Pana and the surrounding mountain world, fusing nature and art into a harmonious one.
The 1.1 km long running course from Ortisei to the Annatal coffee/restaurant offers a scenic highlight. This beautiful course, which leads mainly through the forest, is not only suitable for beginners but also for advanced runners.
The Val Gardena Mountain Run, one of the most scenic mountain runs in the world, takes place every year in July in Val Gardena. The 14.5 km long route runs from Ortisei over the sleepy hamlet of St. Jacob in the UNESCO World Heritage area Puez-Geisler, and from there to the summit of Ortisei’s “local” mountain, the Seceda. The view which awaits us along the route and at our destination at 2,457 m is simply stunning. The return route can be taken comfortably by cable car.
We start at the Selva skating arena and follow path no. 17A to the first station of the cross, and from there on path no. 17A over the Rifugio Juac in the direction of Rifugio Firenze (path no. 3-1) and over path no. 13 into the UNESCO World Heritage Puez-Geisler Park in the direction of Pieralongia. We then take path no. 4A which brings us to the mountain station of the Col Raiser cable car. We continue on path no. 4 to the Gamsblut hut, from there along path no. 1A to the Sangon hut, past the Lech Ciaulonch and then on path no. 3 to the Rifugio Juac, which leads back to the Selva skating arena.
We run from the Ortisei parish church to the base station of the Seceda cable car, from there a small wooden bridge crosses the stream. The path now ascends slightly along the stream through the woods to the Cafe/Restaurant Annatal, where we turn around and run back to Ortisei. On the return leg, we pass a Kneipp facility where we can cool our legs.
The fairly short yet busy via ferrata boasts a magnificent view of the north face of the Sella
Group, the Sassolungo and the Puez plateau.
The Wasserbühel Rundweg circuit trail in the wonderfully located village of Laion at the entrance to Val Gardena valley is a short walk to archeological findings at the ancient settelments at the Wasserbühel hill. Wasserbühel lies to the north-west of the village and is the perfect place to relax and enjoy its magnificent views.
Skiing galore: welcome to Val Gardena’s skiing area, one of the most traditional in South Tyrol, boasting a diverse variety of slopes of different levels.
Every slope has its own history and we could go as far as saying that it is quite a special one: after all, they were the stage of the 1970 World Ski Championships and therefore, witness to an over 100-year-old skiing tradition in our Ladin valley in the Dolomites. What do they have in common? They are all well-groomed slopes and offer breathtaking views across the legendary Dolomites mountains.

We start in Selva at the “Kulturhaus Oswald von Wolkenstein” and follow path no. 30B in the direction of Monte Pana, where we also cross the Ciaslat meadow at the foot of the World Cup downhill route Saslong’s notorious “camel back”. Arriving at the Monte Pana road, we cross this and continue on the hiking trail to the next fork, there we bear right in the direction of S. Cristina and come by way of the Tervela Waterfall to the base station of the Monte Pana chair lift. Here we run directly towards Ruacia, right past the finish area of the Saslong downhill route, up the Ruacia road to the roundabout in the centre of S. Cristina and from there the Tieja Road uphill until we turn right on the old railway and head back to Selva.
This scenic and beautiful running route is ideal for individual and group sports. The many special features of the forest and the fresh air can be felt all year round.
Leisurely and relaxing hike from Furnes through the Resciesa forest to the Holy Cross Chapel.
From Selva, we run to the parking area in Vallunga and from there past the path no. 14 to the St. Sylvester chapel, and then on through a forest of larches and Swiss stone pines, where we slowly gain elevation and can enjoy the unique panorama of the surrounding Puez-Geisler Nature Park. The valley ends in a large, flat meadow (Pra da Rì), which serves as the turning point of our route.
Shorter Variant: We run to the St. Sylvester chapel and then turn left there at the way of the cross (path no. 26), follow this and then run over Daunei back to Selva.
This course is especially suitable for hobby runners. The entire route is on asphalt and is not very difficult. Due to the continuous lighting, this run can also be run perfectly at night.
From the mountain station of the funicular railway at 2,103 m altitude we run first westward to the Resciesa summit cross. There we take a little time to enjoy the breathtaking panorama and to cast a look into the neighbouring Val di Funes. After that we take paths no. 10, 31 and 35 toward the Brogles Saddle, whereas we stay approximately at the same elevation, making this run a real pleasure. Arriving at the Brogles Saddle we can either run back the same way to the funicular, or we turn right onto path n. 5, which leads into the path no. 9 through Val d’Anna and finally brings us back to Ortisei. Just before we reach the village we come to a Kneipp facility in Val d’Anna, where we can cool our legs.
The Dolomites are part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2009. This hike leads to the newly-built Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage viewpoint – Mastlé, which shows you what makes the Dolomites so extraordinary, specifically, their geological and landscape features.
The Puez circuit is an absolute treat for those who love long trail runs in alpine terrain. We go right at the entrance to the Vallunga, taking the path no. 12 through the Chedul Valley to Creispëina Pass. From the beginning, it’s quite steep, partially in steps, until the valley begins to open and becomes gentler and flatter. From Crespëina Pass we continue over the Dolomite High Path no. 2 to the Rifugio Puez, from there we continue to follow the High Path no. 2 until it diverges in path no. 16, which brings us back to Vallunga.
