The first stop on our hiking trip will be the Rasciesa plateau, in the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, which with its 1,000 hectares stretches between Val Gardena in the south and the enchanting Val di Funes in the north.

From Ortisei we will take the funicular up to the Alpe, which we will cross on a loop hike. Among the forests, hills, paths and delightful meadows that dot the ridges of this plateau we will reach the Rasciesa di Fuori peak at 2284 meters.

We will have lunch at the refuge enjoying typical local dishes surrounded by the breathtaking panorama of some of the most famous Dolomite peaks: Marmolada, Sassolungo and Catinaccio.

This hike will be a succession of Alpine panoramas and views overlooking the
most remarkable mountains in the entire Dolomite complex. We will closely explore the Sassolungo group, which includes Sasso Levante and the Sassopiatto massif.

We will walk along the Federico Augusto ridge trail, an ancient communication route used mainly for military purposes between the Fassa Valley and the Alpe di Siusi, along which a sweet surprise will delight our palates.

Next we will reach the Sassopiatto Hut where we will stop for lunch and a well-deserved rest before resuming the road to the hotel.The journey

On the third day we will treat ourselves to an easier hike to regain some strength, also using the Col Raiser funicular.

We will ascend Mount Pic, above the village of Santa Cristina, a mountain lower than the surrounding Dolomite peaks, which, however, thanks to its central location, is able to provide an extraordinary panorama of Val Gardena.

To enjoy the scenery at its best, we will reach the summit of Monte Pic (2363 m) by crossing Alpe Seurasas, and from there heavenly views of the entire valley will open up: the Odle, the Sella group, Sassolungo and Sassopiatto, Alpe di Siusi, the peaks of Terrarossa and Sciliar.

We will have lunch in the shelter in total relaxation and surrounded by a 360-degree spectacle.

This will be the most challenging hike of our entire trip, but also the most beautiful.

Using the Col Raiser funicular, we will ascend to the Puez plateau, located in the Puez-Odle National Park, where a wonderful, lunar-looking landscape awaits us, characterized by extremely scenic rocky environments with a 360-degree view of all the nearby Dolomite groups: the Odle, Sella group, Marmolada, Piz Boè and Sassolungo group.

We will then reach the Puez Hut at an altitude of 2475 meters for lunch, and then head back toward Selva along the Vallunga, the valley par excellence of Val Gardena.

With the last hike of the week you will be captivated by the panoramic views offered by L'Alpe di Siusi, the largest plateau in Europe and one of the most spectacular places in the world.

At an altitude of between 1,700 and 2.400 meters you will savor a real feeling of well-being with breathtaking views of the nearby Dolomite peaks of Sassolungo, Sassopiatto and Sciliar, and from the fragrant meadows of the alpine pastures.

It will be a day of relaxation in nature while enjoying delicious specialties with Alpine flavors.
