Walks in Ortisei
(Walking in Ortisei Val Gardena - www.groeden.net)

The path into the Anna Valley starts at the base lodge of the Seceda Cableway and leads up a gentle incline for about 30 minutes to a cosy café.

The Luis Trenker Promenade leads from the Parish Church to the "Stua Zirm" wine lodge (10 minutes) and then joins the main road and continues to S. Cristina (1 h) and Selva Gardena (2 h).

From Str. Sacun shortly after Hotel Regina to S. Giacomo (35 minutes). From there two paths lead to the idyllically situated forest chapel of St. Jacob with its famous frescoes (another 25 minutes).

A somewhat steeper path branches off from Str. Sacun shortly after Hotel Regina and zig-zags its way up to the Col de Flam Cross (20 minutes). From the holy year 2000 it has been made the way of dialogue. From there it is another 10 minutes to the Catores Wine Lodge.

From the indoor and outdoor pool in Ortisei eastwards to Minert, Soplases and S. Cristina or from Minert back, along the fringe of the woods, passing the Restaurant "Waldrand", the Hotel Ronce, and the Boarding House "Pradell" with magnificent view over Ortisei. Possibility to walk along the woods until Roncadizza (about 1 hour).

The walk to S. Pietro on the "Poststeig" path starts from the Garnis Miraortisei.

This promenade-path leads off on a marked position to the right from the path into the Anna Valley, which starts at the base lodge of the Seceda cableway. It crosses a meadow, and zig-zags its way up to the Col de Flam. On the sunny side you can reach, following another promenade-path, the Parrish Church (about 1 hour).

Behind the Hotel Rodes at the crossing Str. Digon/Str. Passua, on the left, ascend until you reach the little village (about 1 ¼ hours).

Gold, silver, bronze and rock crystal and wonderful moments from the mountain tops and at every turn of the path. And if you are not just a keen walker and mountain-lover, but something of a sportsman (or woman), you might be tempted to go for the new Val Gardena walker's pin "Cristal d'Or" - in the above-mentioned choice of gold, silver, bronze or rock crystal! Plus a fine certificate as a special souvenir.
