    Hiking trails in the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm

    Walking is the best way to enjoy wonderful stretches of greenery. During your spring in South Tyrol, you can witness the awakening of nature in the valley and on the alpine meadows in bloom. Midsummer days are equally surprising:  people are lured to mountain peaks, marvel at sweeping views and indulge in the traditional dishes served in quaint mountain huts. Go on a hike to watch the spectacle of autumn’s glorious colours and relax in nature.
