Val Gardena. The holiday valley of the Dolomites
PascionPassion
cinch 5
Dolomyths
The renowned researcher Friedrich Simony called the
Dolomites “a gigantic city covered in debris with
numerous castles and towers“, whereas Reinhold
Messner defines them as “the world’s most beautiful
mountains”.
Inspiration and time for dreaming in the realm of the
“pale mountains”: the Dolomites are unique in the
world for their combination of a stunning landscape
and an extraordinary rich cultural heritage. There are
many legends and myths of witches, forest and
fabulous creatures that populate this region, which is
a UNESCO World Heritage natural site characterized by
a varied fauna and flora. Around the Sella and the
Sassolungo Group spreads the impressive limestone
massif that has developed millions of years ago out of
a tropical sea, a unique formation that still enchants.
This natural paradise within one’s reach has always
captured people’s hearts and is frequented by
illustrious guests from the science, research and art
sector as well as by hikers, cyclists and winter sports
enthusiasts.

Nature’s beauty
The Puez-Odle Nature Park in the heart of the
Dolomites, which are listed as a UNESCO World
Heritage natural site, is like an “open book of
geological Earth history” testifying to the
existence of the tropical sea that once dominated
the region.
In this protected area, nature lovers feel like in
paradise. Here you can find many rock types, sedimen-
tary depositions and alteration zones, you can admire
spruces, larches and Swiss pines as well as gorgeous
alpine roses by the wayside and now and then you can
observe also chamois, which live in the mountain pine
copse. In spring, anemones and snowbells, primroses
and crocuses sprout on the alpine meadows of Val
Gardena, while in summer you can enjoy the sight of
various species of Gentiana and Nigritella. Rare types
of orchids like the lady’s slippers and the Turk’s cap
lily will catch the eye of the most careful observers,
whereas animal lovers will be delighted by hearing the
calls of the ravens and the cheeky alpine choughs
nestling in the fissures of the Dolomites. And with
some luck, you will be able to admire majestic golden
eagles flying high above Vallunga.
La ferata de Gherdëina
The railway of Val Gardena was a 31 km long local
narrow-gauged railway, which was built during World
War I for military use. Parts of the train path still exist
today and can be discovered on a walk that stretches
through the whole valley starting in Ortisei and
ending in Plan near Selva Gardena.

Conquering the peaks
At the beginning of the 19th century, the first
mountaineering enthusiasts decided to discover the
mountains, thus founding what in the following
century became the alpine guides group.
The alpinism in the Dolomites of Val Gardena looks
back at a long tradition boasting many pioneers as for
example the mountaineer Ferdinand Glück from Selva
Gardena, who in the 1930s was known as “King of the
Sella Towers”. But also the recent history of Val
Gardena has generated heroes of the mountains like
the extreme climber Karl Unterkircher, who died in
2008 during an expedition on Nanga Parbat. He was
born in Selva Gardena and was an alpine guide and
member of the known Catores group as well as the
president of the mountain rescue service Aiut Alpin
Dolomites. To this day, togetherness and solidarity are
the virtues that characterise the mountaineers of
Val Gardena. In the valley, the Val Gardena Mountain
Guide Association and the Alpine School Catores
organise personalized hiking and climbing excursions.
The Karl-Unterkircher-Award
The Karl-Unterkircher-Award is granted for great
alpine climbing skills. The second edition of this event
for all mountain lovers and all interested people will
take place at the beginning of July 2012.

Mountain people
A hunting population evolved into a farming commu-
nity with a unique language and the typical mentality
of the inhabitants of this fantastic valley.
The Ladin language came up through the romanisation
of the Raeti, the ancient farming population living in
Val Gardena, who emerged from the hunting people
populating this area already 8000 years ago. Until
seventy years ago, the majority of the locals still plied
its trade as mountain farmers working the alpine
pastures and steep slopes around the Sella and the
Sassolungo Group. With time, this burdensome living
has shaped the people of the valley: diligence and
resourcefulness, togetherness and consciousness of
tradition, but also the open-mindedness are until
today characteristics of Val Gardena’s people.
A congenial mixture: still nowadays, the inhabitants of
the valley are conscious of their roots and cherish
traditional values.
Val Gardena folklore festival
On occasion of the traditional folklore festival taking
place on the first Sunday in August, the guests can enjoy
various concerts of Val Gardena’s bands and the famous
parade in the traditional costumes accompanied by a
delicious gastronomic offer. The festival is organised by
the Tourism Associations together with various other
associations of the three villages of the valley.

Wood carving art
Handcraft with tradition: at the beginning of the 17th
century, the people of Val Gardena began to carve
wood. Nowadays, they are known all over the world for
their artwork.
Until today, the wood carving art of Val Gardena’s
artisans is known far beyond the boundaries of the
small Dolomite valley. This ancient tradition is still
being maintained and passed on from generation to
generation. The association UNIKA was founded by
various artists and artisans and its name stands for
the uniqueness of the art works and their creators.
The cultural centre of Ortisei hosts the newly designed
ART52 exhibition gallery, which provides interesting
insights into the arts of Val Gardena, demonstrating
the many stylistic changes that wood carving in the
area has undergone in its four-centuries-old evolution.
The wooden sculptures are marked by the Gardena Art
trademark of the same-named association of laborato-
ries specialized in wood carving that makes them
instantly recognisable as quality works of art.
The UNIKA sculpture fair
Every year in September, the popular UNIKA sculpture
fair in Val Gardena takes place. The permanent
exhibition Galaria UNIKA, however, is open all year:
it displays many original works of art and hosts also
wood carving demonstrations.

Born out of necessity: the wood carving art in Val Garde-na looks back on a noteworthy and successful history, which can also be discovered in the Museum Gherdëina.

A multilingual world
Ladin, a Rhaeto-Romanic language, developed in the
isolation of Val Gardena out of Vulgar Latin and the
rests of the ancient local language.
The third official language of South Tyrol is the
“trademark” of the ethnic minority that counts four
percent of the province’s population. The Ladin area of
South Tyrol begins at the entrance of Val Gardena in
Pontives. Ladin is also spoken in the neighbouring
territories Val Badia and Val di Fassa, in the area of
Cortina d’Ampezzo and in the Grisons (canton of
Switzerland). The people of Val Gardena are proud of
their traditions, cultivate their language and pass it
on to posterity. The maintenance of Ladin is also
conducted through the school education, various
publications as well as television and radio broad-
casts. Nowadays, the Ladin language is highly
threatened by the penetration of foreign elements,
but it is still alive and spoken by the majority of the
population.
Gherdëina, Gherdëina
The folk anthem of Val Gardena’s people finishes
appropriately with the following verse:
Gherdëina, Gherdëina,
de l’oma si rujené
rejona, rejona
y no te l desmincé!
[Val Gardena, Val Gardena,
the language of the mother
speak, speak
and don’t forget it!]

Winter magic
Where the mountaineer and film director Luis Trenker
shot many of his movies about seventy years ago,
celebrities of the political, sports and show business
world love to spend their holidays.
As an alternative to skiing, the valley offers the modern
cross-country ski centre on Monte Pana with more than
30 km of runs and one of South Tyrol’s longest tobog-
gan runs. Or you try out one of Val Gardena’s ice rinks,
where already the figure skater Carolina Kostner made
her first turns. The Nordic Active Park in Vallunga is
another true paradise for sports enthusiasts all year
round. The three idyllic villages of the valley, Ortisei,
S. Cristina and Selva Gardena, are very appreciated all
year round by those looking for shopping opportunities,
cultural and culinary delights, whereas the hikers take
a well-earned rest on one of the many alpine huts
enjoying the fantastic view on the Dolomites and
savouring a typical South Tyrolean snack of local bread,
speck and cheese. Perfect winter days in the enchanting
mountain world of Val Gardena!
The “mardolomit”

Gorgeous ski runs

exciting experience.
The sunny slopes are a paradise for beginners and

a whole day full of unforgettable emotions, while
state-of-the-art cableways and lifts will take the winter
sports athletes to the marvellous 1200 kilometres of ski
runs of the world’s largest interconnected ski area, the
Dolomiti Superski. The modern underground funicular
Val Gardena Ronda Express connects the skiing areas
Sochers/Ciampinoi and Col Raiser/Seceda, and the new
funicular Rasciesa, which was inaugurated in autumn
2010, takes its passengers up to 2200 metres into the
romantic and untouched beauty of the Nature Park
Puez-Odle. When the alpine and skiing guides of Val
Gardena show their guests the impressive Sassolungo
Group and descend with them the most beautiful slopes
covered with fresh snow, you will always feel their pride,
the pride of those who live in this spectacular place,
where man and mountain coexist in perfect harmony
and where on each winter day it is possible to immerse
into “the white gold” with all senses.

Summer emotions
Mountaineers and mountain bike aficionados on the
discovery of the mountain world, hikers and Nordic
Walking enthusiasts and some keen paragliders, who
observe the Dolomites from a bird’s eye view.
A clear and warm summer day in the alpine world of
the Dolomites is an unforgettable experience: the
Nature Park Puez-Odle and the Nordic Active Park in
the idyllic Vallunga are two unique attractions. The
guests explore the places of interest of this area
comprising for example monuments like the ruins of
the Wolkenstein Castle, the native village of the
famous minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein, or the
St. Sylvester’s Chapel in Vallunga. The home of the
world-renowned mountaineer Luis Trenker, whose
name is also borne by a promenade, boasts a lively
atmosphere and is surrounded by an impressive
nature. Classic tours in summer include the hikes to
the symbols of the valley, the Sella and the
Sassolungo. The loop trail around the Sassolungo is
also fantastic by bike. An excursion through the
so-called Stone City, which has been immortalised by
many popular tales and legends, is ideal for all nature
and sports lovers.
Val Gardena Active

A place for children
Already in the 17th century, the local inhabitants
have started to demonstrate great attention to the
children using their wood carving skills to create toys
for them and telling the little ones the legends of
the Dolomites.
The children can discover the locations of these old
myths personally during outings with their parents,
the alpine guides or the hosts of the various childcare
facilities. On the traces of legendary figures, the trips
lead to the Lech Sant, the “Holy Lake” on the Mastlé
alpine pastures above S. Cristina, and to the rugged
cliffs of the Sassolungo. At the climbing crag in
Vallunga and in the climbing gyms in the three villages
of Val Gardena, the children can have fun and
demonstrate their abilities under professional
guidance; for the more adventurous ones there is a
high ropes course and for the littlest ones there are
many playgrounds in the child- and family-friendly
villages of the valley. In winter, the Val Gardena
SuperKids offer includes discounts for little skiers,
and in summer there are special prices for children
during the Val Gardena Family Weeks.
For the little ones
The youngest guests of Val Gardena are in good hands
in the day care centre for children Casabimbo in
S. Cristina, the entertainment centres Verdebello in
Ortisei and the Miniclub Selvi in Selva Gardena.

main village Ortisei (1236 m) at the entrance of the
valley will enchant you with its inviting pedestrian
zone boasting a variety of little shops, its beautiful
hiking trails and the numerous cultural and traditional
events. you can admire the architecture of the area
characterised by its farmhouses and the ancient
buildings in the centre of the village, which have been

and the St. Jacob’s church. the picturesque village of
S. cristina (1428 m) is located between monte pana,
col raiser and Seceda at the finish of the famous
World cup downhill run Saslong and is well worth a
visit for its parish church, the Fischburg/gardena
castle and the sun dial on monte pana. Selva gardena
(1563 m) is to be found at the sunny end of the valley.
the village is surrounded by the jagged peaks of the
Sassolungo, the cir and the Sella group. Here there

stylish atmosphere. in the whole valley, the guests
can practice a wide range of sports in the untouched
nature of the dolomites.
