An entertaining and diverse cycling experience in the Val Pusteria valley: we cycle from Valdaora to Lake Braies where we enjoy the beauty of the eastern part of South Tyrol with its picturesque villages, high mountains, dense forests and maybe the most beautiful lake found in the Dolomites.
With an altitude of 2,810 m, Mt. Croda del Becco is a unique gem in the Dolomites! This diversified mountain tour, however, starting from Lake Braies, is not for the faint-hearted but the magnificent views that can be seen from the summit are well worth the effort.
The trail to Mt. Specie (Strudelkopf) in the Braies Dolomites is not only very attractive because of its varying landscape, but also historically important. The old War Path leads us up to the 2,307 m high peak with its summit cross dedicated to the returnees. The sunrise up there is simply enchanting!
Two special lakes are the focal point of this relatively long albeit comfortable mountain tour in the expansive Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park: Lake Braies, situated at 1,500 m a.s.l., as well as Lake Colli Alti at 2,250 m a.s.l.
An alpine adventure in the Braies Dolomites with magnificent vistas: Mt. Picco di Vallandro in the Upper Val Pusteria is easily reachable despite its altitude of 2,839 m a.s.l.
Lake Braies, the “Pearl of the Dolomite lakes”, is situated in a unique landscape in the heart of the Braies Dolomites in the Upper Val Pusteria. Its greenish and bluish waters attract many visitors, but it is more than a natural spectacle: it is also a paradise for children and a movie set. Enjoy Lake Braies from above!
A place, unparalleled in its beauty, that became a set for one of the most popular Italian Television series in the last years… a delightful blend of natural attractions, historical events and legends that have made this jewel of the Dolomites such a popular destination… welcome to Lake Braies!
It is Europe’s largest high-altitude alpine pasture: the Siusi Alp, or 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!
The Valle di Braies is a side valley of the Val Pusteria that stretches towards south and comprises a territory between 1,120 m and 3,146 m asl. The villages of S. Vito, Braies di Fuori, Braies di Dentro and Ferrara di Braies make part of the valley that has got about 630 inhabitants and provides two main attractions for visitors, that is to say the Prato Piazza and the Lago di Braies lake.
As Lake Braies is one of the most beautiful mountain lakes of South Tyrol, above all in summertime it attracts a large number of visitors. Also the Prato Piazza, a high altitude terrace at 2,000 m, is a very popular excursion destination in the Valle di Braies. This is where also less experienced mountaineers can make easy walks and promenades, inhaling the refreshing mountain air.
By the way, also Terrence Hill appreciated the beauty of the Valle di Braies, this is where he registered scenes for his TV serial “Un passo dal cielo“.
