Secret Dolomites – Spring in Val Gardena

Spring is the ideal season to explore the mountains at their quietest. It’s also ideal to discover the area’s hidden places which aren’t normally accessible. Visitors can explore the area’s beautiful contrasts, with the snow-capped Dolomites’ peaks touching the sky offset by the blooming Alpine meadows and plateaus, awash with colours and heady scents.

Spring and early summer are also the season of sports events such as bike day and the half marathon taking place. Moreover, a well-known ski route has become accessible for hiking as well!

Sellaronda HIKE Tour

The famous Sellaronda ski tour, a winter season highlight, has been converted into a beautiful Sellaronda HIKE Tour, allowing guests to explore the unique landscape of the four Ladin valleys and three Italian provinces by foot. It is a rather demanding excursion that requires excellent physical preparation and condition. After all, you’ll have to face a 750 m elevation gain and a whooping 1.900 m elevation drop over 25 km (44 km when using the lift facilities). A steady pace is also required with between 7 and 9 hours allocated for the tour, which is not recommended for families with children.
