The heart of Ladin tradition

Val Gardena: a world of traditions and events
Val Gardena: a world of traditions and events

The love of inlaying wood carvings according to the ancient Gardena tradition. From "bon dì" (good morning) to "co vala?" (how are you?), the unmistakable sound of Ladin words that still resounds in our valleys today. And then there is the scent of the recipes of the Gardesana cuisine handed down to us by our grandmothers, the typical hats of traditional costumes, and ancient legends populated by giants, witches and mysterious creatures. Immerse yourself in its culture and let yourself be enchanted by the charm of its traditions. Don't miss the Museum Gherdëina in Ortisei, just a few minutes' drive from our children's hotel in Val Gardena.
