An ascent that was rewarded with a breath-taking view: we went to the Cima Cir. The Grande e Piccola Cir Mountain Range is part of the Puez Mountain Group and situated north of the Passo Gardena pass.
The Sellastock massif is situated between the Alta Badia and Val Gardena valleys. It is characterised by its steep cliffs and its high plateau, a paradise for geologists and scientists. We spent a night in the surroundings of the Sellastock massif and captured the mood in this time-lapse video.
From S. Cristina the Col Raiser cable car brings us to the fascinating alpine world of the Val Gardena Dolomites. Hiking guide Diego takes us on a family hike below the peaks of the Odle group. We feel the power of the area and experience wonderful silence between alpine meadows and imposing mountains; a journey of exploration for the whole family.

Selva Gardena is surrounded by the great landscape of the Dolomites with the striking peaks of the Sassolungo, Puez mountain group and Sella alpenstock. Ideal for mountaineering, climbing and mountain biking are the Passo Gardena and Sella. By the way, Selva Gardena is also famous for its wood-carved sculptures.
Ortisei, the chief village of the Val Gardena valley, is famous for its pretty centre and the surrounding Dolomite mountain peaks. Surrounded by the Alpe di Siusi, the Seceda and Rasciesa, Ortisei is a particularly popular holiday destination. Children’s playgrounds, walking trails, lovely taverns and ideal conditions for families make your stay in the heart of the Ladin valley a lasting experience.
In Ortisei in Val Gardena, each year in January beautiful ice sculptures are carved by students. The ice carvers meet where it has temperatures below zero and where the sun does not shine hoping that in this way their art works can be admired for at least 2 months. Since the beauty of the ice sculptures is not lasting forever…
If you want to keep fit and are one of those oh-so sporty kind of holidaymakers, this is the place for you. Countless hiking trails, lifts and traditional huts are waiting to be discovered. And in winter, the ski circuit of Sella Ronda has a lot to offer to skiers and snowboarders alike!
But Val Gardena is famous not only for its numerous winter sports opportunities; also the wood-carving tradition of Val Gardena is known on an international scale. More information about the Gardena Valley is found on www.valgardena-groeden.com.
