Gigantic rock
The landmark of the Val Gardena valley
It stands there majestically - just waiting to be climbed, hiked around or crossed: the Langkofel massif. Looking up, you will see a legendary feature in the silhouette: legend has it that the Giant Langkofel once sank down into the ground here where he still resides today with only his hand towering into the skies, the Fünffingerspitze peak - a punishment for his theft.
In the Dolomites in Val Gardena, hiking trails await alongside challenging climbing routes which can be conquered all year round. You will be rewarded en route to the summit by the craggy mountain landscape and the breath-taking views of the Sella massif, Seiser Alm high plateau and Marmolada. And for those who value history, the charming Langkofel cable car is sure to impress. A stand-up gondola for two which will transport you from the Sellajoch pass to the Langkofelscharte – to the starting point of the Oskar-Schuster-Steig via ferrata.
