This adventure trail starts at the Monte Pana car park in St. Christina and will give you a unique experience from June to September! You are ready to ride the 11 stations surrounded by nature: from the Swiss stone pine horses and tree houses to the giant swing and the Kneipp path. And you will immediately become a child again!

Adventure trail in Val d'Anna

Just a stone's throw from the valley station of the Seceda cable car in Ortisei you will find a must-see attraction for young and old! Right at the entrance to Val d'Anna begins a path that will lead you to discover many wonders hidden among the trees, such as a real flying helicopter, cute furry friends, a trampoline and a 680m FLY Line. You will experience unforgettable emotions!

Fantastic Animals, Tieres Troi 

How many wild animals could you recognise? Put yourself to the test on a wonderful themed trail, which will lead you from the centre of Selva to Vallunga, in the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature Park. Ibexes, chamois, roe deer, marmots, hedgehogs and squirrels made of wood by local artists await you along the ancient Via Crucis and path no. 27. Have fun finding them all!

Valtoi, the realm of the senses

Are you ready to sharpen your senses in the company of the legendary minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein and Pia, the Queen of the Air? In the heart of Selva, amidst the trees and mountains of the idyllic Vallunga, there is a fantastic sensory trail: set off to conquer Castle Adventure between friendly cows happily grazing and enjoy the Adventure Trail with its barefoot paths, labyrinths, ponds and islands. What an adventure awaits you!

Seceda

Seceda, magical Seceda! One of the most photographed Dolomite peaks, amidst the incredible scenery of the Puez-Odle Nature Park: a dream both in summer with its green alpine pastures and in winter with its snow-covered expanses. What's more, from here you will enjoy a breathtaking view of the Odle Group! Our tip: start from Santa Cristina with the Col Raiser cable car to the Col Raiser hut, from here follow the signs to the Firenze hut and then to Malga Pieralongia. Goal: Seceda peak, a spectacle!

Museum de Gherdëina

Would you like to immerse yourself in Ladin history and culture? In this interesting museum in Val Gardena you will find priceless objects, such as the large ichthyosaur from Seceda, retrace the history of the mountaineer and filmmaker Luis Trenker, and discover the traditions of the Val Gardena valleys. An exciting journey through geology, art, butterflies, cribs, minerals and much more awaits you!

Vallunga

Are you looking forward to playing among the streams and green meadows? Then Vallunga is the destination for you! This trail leads through wonderful natural landscapes and can also be walked with small children in about 1.5 hours. The path immediately splits into two: the one on the left has a slight incline, the one on the right is easier and leads straight to the San Silvestro Chapel. From here, continue through woods and wide clearings (a perfect place for a picnic!) to Prà de Ri at 1 800 metres above sea level.

Castel Gardena

Impossible not to notice it during your excursions in the surroundings of our family hotel at the foot of the Sassolungo: this castle built in the 17th century is a real gem surrounded by nature in Val Gardena, between Santa Cristina and Selva. Although it cannot be visited, you only have to admire its imposing towers and majestic walls to feel catapulted back in time, when the castle served as the summer, hunting and fishing residence of Engelhard Dietrich von Wolkenstein-Trostburg. Not surprisingly, several trout-rich reservoirs were created!
