At San Candido, the road leads towards East Tyrol or to the right into the valley in which Sesto is located. The main village of the municipality is San Vito on the Rio Sesto stream, a well-known starting point for tours in the Three Peaks Nature Park in the Sesto Dolomites. In addition, all the amenities of a larger centre can be found here: The main square with cafés, shopping facilities, the pharmacy and sports rentals are idyllically distributed around the Church of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. The inhabitants once donated 5,059 guilders and larch and spruce wood to build it.
On a cultural tour through San Vito, this church is worth a stop: At the entrance to the cemetery, you can admire the famous frescoes by Rudolf Stolz depicting the Dance of Death. However, the painter also created many other works, so that a separate museum has been dedicated to him in the village centre. Another museum in the village is the Stabinger Nativity Collection, one of the four exhibitions in the country, which displays valuable oriental and Tyrolean nativity scenes.
Being active here is not difficult, the wonderful panorama draws everyone out into the fresh air: The Sesto Circular Path is a good way to get to know the village and gives you an insight into its history, culture and nature. For hiking we recommend the Val Campo di Dentro, where the Tre Scarperi Hut is enthroned high above, as well as the stunning Three Peaks Circuit . For a different kind of exercise, visit the outdoor pool at Waldheim, the Dolomitenarena climbing hall or the riding stable. On the Monte Elmo adventure mountain, on the other hand, the Olperl, a mysterious creature with shining eyes, awaits little visitors in summer: The cable car starts right at the edge of San Vito (St. Veit). In winter, the 3 Zinnen Dolomites Ski Area opens there with the new fun park.
