Find the animals in the woods

We live in a stunning natural landscape. The fantastic Dolomite area is a natural habitat for a large number of wild animals such as deer, chamois, foxes, squirrels, marmots and hares. It is difficult for us to see these animals as they live in the wild. This reflection led to the idea of an “Animals in the Woods“ themed path, which we have divided into two Tours. So you can get to see the animals in any case, as life-sized carved figures along the routes.

Tour One: Start out from the tourist office of Selva Val Gardena and proceed towards path no. 14 to Vallunga/Langental to the St. Sylvester’s Chapel. At the chapel follow The Way of the Cross no. 26 to Daunëi and from there take path no. 3, which will bring you to the Juac mountain hut. Taking instead path no 17A from Daunëi you will see more animals. Return along the same path.

Tour Two: Take path no. 27 from the Ciampinoi cable car station in the centre of Selva. Turn left at Hotel La Pineta and follow the path as far as La Sëlva. Return along the same route back to the starting point.

A detailed map showing the exact location of each of the animal figures is available at the tourist information office.

The unique thing about this hike is that you are accompanied by the Sassolungo along the entire route. The hike with spectacular views of the surrounding majestic Dolomite peaks is the perfect excursion for families.

The old rail way is the perfect trail for a jogging tour through the valley. Starting in Selva it passes through S. Cristina and ends in Ortisei. The trail is perfect for all the joggers which loves the flat runnings stail without any different of highnesses as this way is almost flat

The Sella group is the massive which divides and at the same time joins togheter four valleys: Val Gardena, Val Badia, Val di Fassa and Arabba. The Sella group is composed of two large platforms, imposing walls and towers that rise high towards the sky. Starting from one end the excursion will lead you to the other end. You will reach the highest point called Piz Boè from where you will be amazed of the view.

 

The tour into the Vallunga is the ideal introductory tour for first-time mountain bikers or for families. It is toned-down because the tour goes not go into the upper Vallunga, but only just as far as the mouth of the valley.

This exciting hike in the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature Park leads to the recently built Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage -Viewpoint Mastlé-S. Cristina/Val Gardena. The path winds its way below the imposing vertical Fermeda towers, to the Pieralongia and then to the Seceda mountain located at a higher altitude.

Selva Gardena is located at the end of the valley surrounded by the rich flora and fauna of the Dolomites. The Unesco World Heritage peaks watch over this charming village, an excellent meeting place for families, as well as a starting point for sports and outdoor activities. There are several oppurtunities for hiking and climbing, for exciting descents in the Dolomiti Superski area, for adventurous rock and ice climbs, for mountain biking and snowshoeing. All year round, Selva Gardena offers a comprehensive range of carefully planees activities to make you experience unforgettable moments in the mountains.

The Sellaronda is a top-class ski circuit. Winter sports enthusiasts can expect magnificent views of the snow-covered peaks of the Dolomites, long descents on mostly intermediate slopes, and plenty of opportunities to stop at cozy mountain huts. When you add up the chairlift rides and the descents on the slopes, you cover more than 40 kilometers in about 4 hours. However, you can add as many lifts and slopes as you like. The ski circuit is signposted in both directions, but this tour follows the green markings and goes counterclockwise. The green route offers slightly easier slopes compared to the clockwise-running orange route, but both ski circuits are manageable for average skiers with sufficient stamina.

Vallunga the entrance of the nature Park Puez Odle is the perfect spot for a jogging tour. Suitable also for beginners as it's quite flat until the end of the valley. For nature lovers it is the perfekt place where nobody is gonna disturb you during the morning or in the late evening.

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.

During the wintertime the vallunga trasforms hisself in a Winterwonderland. The snow which covers the forest trasmits a mystic flair and you can enjoy the quitness of the valley.
