Armed with our 3 day Gardena cards (great value if you will use multiple lifts), we dedicated the better part of a day for this hike while based in Ortisei. We were rewarded with one of our most memorable walking/hiking experiences in the Val Gardena. The broad route went like this : the Seceda lift up from Ortisei, loop around Pieralongia, return to St Christina via Col Raiser and the bus (free, we had complementary mobility passes from our hotel) back to Ortisei. As we arrived at the Seceda summit station, we first walked in the direction of Rifugio Troier– the views of the mountain ridge (Fermeda) and the valley below were terrific. We then headed onwards to Pieralongia, and enjoyed the glorious setting with the famous twin rock spires and the company of friendly donkeys grazing nearby! We then passed around Lech da Iman and headed to Rifugio Firenze. After a sort rest and refreshment break, we continued to the Baita Odles (many farm animals on site) and then took the Col Raiser lift back to St Christina after a brief rest at the Col Raiser station/restaurant. Our most memorable day in the Dolomites!

Beautiful ride to the restaurant at the top, When we were there we were able to hire toboggans and sled down to the mid station as many times as our energy lasted. Fantastic views of the whole Val Gardena area. Great walk at the top to another lovely restaurant. You’ll want to stay forever.

The modern ropeway Alpe di Siusi connects Ortisei, the main village of the Val Gardena, with the 2000 m high Alpe di Siusi plateau. The widest plateau of Europe and the unique view are reachable in only a few minutes and very comfortably. Here you will find a breath taking mountain scenery consisting of the Gruppo del Sella, Gruppo del Sassolungo, Catinaccio and the Sciliar surrounding the Alpe di Siusi.

We were on a Riviera Travel tour to Lake Garda, Venice, Verona and the Dolomites. Ortisei was our first stopping point out of three on the day that we toured around the Dolomites. It really is a beautiful town. We weere lucky to have a stopover of around an hour that allowed us to do some sightseeing, shopping for gifts, and have coffee and the most wonderful apple strudel in the 'Cafe Corse' which is the subject of another review. Even though it was October we were in Ortisei on gloriously sunny day so probably saw the town at its best. The Zona Pedonale was great as it allowed us to take our time strolling through the town centre without having to bother about traffic. Well worth visting.
