Hiking :
 Val
Gardena offers numerous possibilities of hiking trails all at different
altitudes: novice hikers can trek high paths over the Alms or passways
past majestic boulder formations; advanced hikers can take longer
and more demanding marked trails.
Every week the travel buro organizes a nature walk
through the mountains and alms. You will be accompanied by an expert
who can tell you about the mountains, alms, geology, flora and fauna
who will answer any questions you have glady.
Also, something worthy of noting - in the vicinity of Val Gardena,
a very pretty part and natural treasure of the Dolomites were declared
a national park therefore making it worthy of visiting: the Nature
park „Schlern“ and the Naturepark „Puez-Geisler“.
Several Hiking Suggestions:
To
the “Puezhütte“ (Puezhut) in the depths of the
Dolomites
Walking time: 4 – 5 hours
Altitude difference: 1200 m; climb 350 m, descent 850 m
To get to this easy and rewarding trail one takes the “Gondelbahn
Dantercëppies” from Selva Gardena all the way to the
mountain station Val Gardena Joch. Once on the marked trail No.
2, proceed to the Clarkhut just like over the Crespëina Hochfläche
to the lake of the same name that gleams like turquoise. Eventually
you will reach the 2475 m high Puezhut. On the way back you can
cross the Langental with the trail marked No. 14.
Through the Val Gardena Valley over "P"
Walking time: 4 – 5 hours
The trail marked as “P” was a frequent mail delivery
route in the past that led towards the valley from Ortisei. This
hiking trail is most inviting in the Fall when the leaves of the
trees are most spectacular in color.
