Vacances dans la Région des Dolomites Val Gardena

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.

The ideal track for the first attempts at cross-country skiing on flat terrain with slight up and downs.

The Palusc track is the perfect choice for hobby cross-country skiers. The beautiful track leads gently up and down until reaching the sunny Palusc meadow. Due to unusually mild temperatures, were called for closed the Palusc variant trail and the trail from "Palusc" to "la Buja".

"La Buja" means swale in Ladin and is therefore the name of this medium-difficulty track, which leads to the swale at the far end of the cross-country centre. From there you can reach Seiser Alm through a connection track.

This track connecting Monte Pana to Saltria at Seiser Alm runs through the Iender Valley and is suitable for experienced cross-country skiers only. By reaching Seiser Alm you can run on up to 50 km of tracks. For less experienced skiers there is also a bus connection between Monte Pana and Saltria.

The Alpe di Seceda is located on the sunny side of Val Gardena, at the foot of the Parco Naturale Cisles-Odle (nature reserve), part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage and represents an ideal base for hikes and climbing tours.

At the top station of the cable car you can enjoy a marvellous view of almost the entire South Tyrol as well as of the mountains in Trentino, Lombardy and Austria. Last but not least, you can admire the breathtaking peaks of the nearby Dolomites, of course: from the Tofane, the Sciliar and the Sella Massif to the Sassolungo and the "pearl" of the Dolomites, the "Marmolada".

From the Seceda summit you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Dolomites and of all the mountains in South Tyrol - from Ortles to Großglockner (Austria).

The Val Scura track, with its 7,5 km length and 270 m of altitude, is ideal for demanding cross-country skiers. Its long ascents and breathtaking descents are very much appreciated by passionate cross-country skiers.

With its easy ascents and descents through quiet forests and meadows, Mont Dessot is the ideal track for beginners and inexperienced cross-country skiers. With its 2,5 km length, it is also ideal for warming up. 

Vedl Verzon is a challenging track with a dynamic profile, suitable for experienced cross-country skiers. After a first steep ascent, the track continues on slightly hilly ascents and descents through small alternating forest sections.

La Longia (red), 10,5 km long, one of the longest ski runs in Val Gardena and in the Dolomites; allows you to ski down to the village of Ortisei on the valley floor.

Among the sights along this route are the parish church, the recently restored railway tunnel, a section of the railway path and the largest hand-carved nativity scene in the world.

The Val Gardena Railway was constructed long time ago, when the region was part of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy. In its 44 years during which it was operating, it strongly influenced the valley. The railway was running from 1916 to 1960 and was completed in record time.

The Val Gardena Railway drove through this Railway tunnel near the parish church of S. Cristina Val Gardena. In 2017, after works of restauration, the tunnel has been made accessible to history enthusiasts.

Another sight is the largest nativity scene in the world. Since 2000, the world's largest nativity scene has been displayed in the Iman Sports Centre in S. Cristina

From the top station of the Mont de Sëura chairlift in a 15 minutes’ walk you get to the chairlift Tramans. From there you can effortlessly reach Comici, Passo Sella and Ciampinoi.

The trail is easy to walk and suitable for the whole family. It initially leads to the Schgaguler Schwaige and then continues to the Sanon Hut.
The return route follows trail no. 6, passing again by the Schgaguler Schwaige and finally reaching the Mont Sëuc mountain station.
