September in Val Gardena: The Home of Trekking |
Val Gardena is a veritable skiing paradise in winter and a hiking mecca during summer. The best month for walking in the Dolomites, however, is September, when the sunnier days aren’t as hot as the previous months – and even the people aren’t as many as during the peak season. Both seasoned and newbie trekkers can make the most of this period, which is why we’ve decided to create three very different offers just for them. |

The Trekking Tierser Alpl |
The Trekking Tierser Alpl, part of the Val Gardena Active programme, is a 2-day trek which takes place on the 9-10 September, 22-23 September, 6-7 October, or 20-21 October. This guided trek includes an overnight stay in a mountain hut. An incredible event, allowing participants to experience the Dolomites up close, marvel at the sunrise and sunset, and spend a night on top of the world! The trek starts from Selva di Val Gardena and take a bus to Passo Sella. From here, it continues on foot on the Federico Augusto path. After an easy climb, the path flattens out until the Sasso Piatto hut. The rest of the path is rather flat, until it climbs to the Alpe di Tires hut. Here you can admire the stunning Denti di Terrarossa and enjoy a mouth-watering meal. After a good night’s sleep, wake up to a hearty breakfast at 2,440 m and return to the starting point. Your guide will determine which itinerary to take after consulting with the entire group.
Day 1: 13 km, 620 m elevation gain, 360 m elevation drop, 5 ½ hours.
Day 2: 10 km, 209 m elevation gain, 637 m elevation drop, 4 hours.
