Hiking

Walking tours in the Dolomites-UNESCO world heritage.

The summits of the Odles group, the impressing Sella and the great Sassolungo and many more are waiting for you… Live the natural force field of Val Gardena and refuel positive energies by walking.

Valentine's hint:
From Residence Telemark cross the street and go up until the church of S. Cristina. Then turn left and again left, following the "Legend tour". After a hotel , you enter the wood. I love the wood, who gives me a lot of energy. After 20 minutes you reach the village of San Jacob, situated in the middle of the wood. Enjoy you trekking tour...

Armin's hint:
I start from Residence Telemark on the left side in direction of Ortisei. After 50 meters on the main road I turn left again to the Val Gardena River. I follow the quiet street until I reach a fork, where the ascend begins. There I ride uphill some height meters and take the street across the mysteriously Jender valley listening to it's reassuring rushing of the river. Finally I reach Alpe di Siusi and ride in direction of the Tirler restaurant. After a small break I continue to Passo Duron. The beautiful view in top of Val Duron recompenses the effort I made coming high wards. Now I am really looking forward to the descend on the single track to Zallinger, where my KTM Enduro can show his potential. Finally I reach Monte Pana and can return home to S. Cristina. What a wonderful day!

Climbing

The Dolomites... A climbing paradise

Extreme athletes will always find new adventures in Valley Gardena. The mountain guides Catores offer you individual guides, easy and difficult climbing tours and much more…

Silke's hint:
With my sons I drive up to Passo Sella where we take in the ancient gondola track bringing us up to Sassolungo fork. There we can observe alpinists climbing up the mountains, but we go down on the other side in direction mountain retreat Vicenza. There we turn up on a small, steep track until we reach the climbing track of Oskar Schuster.
Equipped with helmet and harness we start. The climbing is not that difficult, but takes us two hours. Finally at the top, I can enjoy the panorama with my kids to Alpe di Siusi, Val di Fassa, Marmolada and obviously Sassolungo. On the way back we take the Friedrich August walk which brings us back to Passo Sella. Exhausted, but happy about our beautiful day, we turn back home.
