Welcome to Val Gardena!

Once, there was nothing but water around the Puez-Odle Nature Park, the striking mountain massifs of the Geisler group, the Cirspitzen, the Sella massif and the unmistakable Langkofel tower. In fact, the Dolomites have changed quite a bit geologically over the eons. Deep sea trenches have become valleys, former atolls have become peaks – the fascinating history of the area shows how changeable nature is. Today, the Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a year-round haven for mountain enthusiasts, connoisseurs and those seeking peace and quiet. From Val Gardena, with the villages of Ortisei (1236 m above sea level), St. Cristina (1428 m above sea level) and Selva Gardena (1563 m above sea level), the view is particularly spectacular.
