The largest Alpine pasture in all of Europe, with the villages of Castelrotto, Tires, Siusi and Fiè allo Sciliar, is a famous summer and winter holiday resort.
We ride our mountain bikes down the old „Latte“ road. This historic road is rich in tradition and is situated on Europe‘s highest pasture. Join us of our tour of the Alpi di Suisi.
Right in the middle of the Dolomites, Europe‘s largest alpine pasture, the Alpe di Siusi can be found and not too far away the picturesque village of Siusi is just waiting to be discovered. Surrounded by rolling meadows, mighty forests, sky scraping peaks and mysterious ruins, this mountain village is a must-see for visitors.
The Sciliar area is one of the most famous hiking areas in the Dolomites. The popular holiday villages Castelrotto, Siusi and Fiè are characterised by their sunny location and their mild climate. The Ponds of Fiè, situated at the foot of the Sciliar, are an ideal place for relaxing in the nature and enjoying a refreshing swim.
Our hike today starts by stepping out of the Spitzbühel chairlift, high up on the Alpe di Siusi pasture, where we march right up to the highest point on Mount Petz.
Today we are going to walk on the “Hexenquellen” barefoot and adventure trail on the Alpe di Siusi pasture. It is a nature trail, which focuses on the senses and is enriched by natural material artworks.
Already Oswald von Wolkenstein knew that Siusi allo Sciliar was a wonderful place to live at, many centuries ago. Probably he felt the magic of the Sciliar, and watched the witches of the Sciliar dance. For sure he also knew how tasty the local apple strudel is. That’s what we also came to discover in our visit to Siusi allo Sciliar.
We are in Fié allo Sciliar, at the feet of the unmistakable Sciliar mountain, where legendary witches used to celebrate their rituals. Definitely a worth seeing landscape!
This is the native land of the most famous member of the band Südtiroler Spatzen, the musician Norbert Rier from Castelrotto. We visit him in his farm and we will discover his favourite places where he is used to have a break.
Our winter hike today takes us up onto the Bullaccia mountain pasture which can be found at 2.176 asl. Some of the most impressive vantage points of the Sciliar mountain range can be found at Belluccia. In winter this is a great place for an excursion for everyone seeking to find the tranquillity and peacefulness of the mountains.
Strapping on our snowshoes, we get ready for a great hike through a winter-wonderland in the middle of the Dolomites. Our tour takes us up on the Alpe di Siusi alpine pasture. Our trip begins at Saltria where we start hiking to the Rifugio Zallinger mountain hut, situated in an area under Mount Sassopiatto.
It is Europe‘s largest high-altitude alpine pasture, the Alpe di Siusi. We have looked at its snow-covered mountain peaks from a bird‘s eye view. The panorama is amazing and the landscape is one of the most beautiful of the whole Dolomites.
