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.

This walk runs from Ortisei, along the old Val Gardena railway line and offers a breathtaking view of Ortisei and the surrounding mountains.

Which traces are we following on this route? 
St. Ulrich has a history of settlement going back to 1000 A.D., but this takes on a special dynamic after the 19th century and the construction of the first road through the valley. It was initially the global success of the wood carving and toy industries that brought economic boom to St. Ulrich and changed the face of the village profoundly with a newly-built church and schoolhouse, warehouses, workshops and villas belonging to artists and businesspeople. A second developmental spurt brought hiking, winter sports and tourism, which did not only have an influence on the village, but also caused a sustained change in its societal and cultural environment still happening today.

Starting from the Resciesa mountain station, follow trail no. 35, which takes you to the Resciesa hut. From there the trail continue along the same path to the cross. Arrived at the cross, which is the highest point on this hike (2281 m), follow trail no. 31, which takes you to the Valluzza pass. Here, you can admire the unique view from the Val d’Isarco to the Sciliar. The hike continues along trail no. 35, past the Ega Ciajiarines spring to Brogles. The return route passes along the Costa dl Cason to the mountain station of the Resciesa funicular.
