Holiday information

 

A walking holiday in Val Gardena

Relaxed strolling meets remarkable mountain vistas on this self-guided, single-centre walking holiday in the Italian Dolomites. Stay in friendly, family-owned accommodation with top spa facilities, and take your pick from a carefully chosen collection of gentle walking routes and interesting sightseeing options.
 
There are many ways to explore the Dolomites – the dramatic, jagged peaks that graze the skies of northeast Italy. Few Dolomite experiences, however, are quite as relaxing as this holiday.

With a week in Val Gardena – where traditional Ladin culture thrives, and this ancient language is still widely spoken – you are ideally placed to discover both the bucolic valleys and high mountain landscapes of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site. For those routes that bring you close to the peaks, instead of climbing on foot from the valley floor you are transported by panoramic cable cars, gondolas and funiculars – for the ultimate in easy exploring.

Joining scenic valley and mountain strolls is a choice of sightseeing options across the Dolomites, including a visit to the historic regional capital, Bolzano. And at the end of each day, your high-quality base awaits – a family-owned spa hotel on the slopes above Ortisei village.

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
There’s no fixed itinerary, so take your pick of our suggested walking routes as the mood takes you.

  • An Introduction
    Well-connected Ortisei makes the perfect base for exploring Val Gardena and beyond. A number of walking routes begin directly from the village, but with a funicular station and two cable car routes originating here, plus regular bus services passing through, it’s easy to travel further afield.

    Your hotel travel card entitles you to free use of local buses and trains, but you will need to purchase a separate lift pass to access our recommended trails in the high mountains.

    The Val Gardena is an area where three languages are spoken concurrently; for consistency, we use the Italian place names in our itinerary descriptions, referring also to the German equivalent where this is widely known.
  • Choice of routes: 2km to 6km
    If you’re travelling early or late in the season, there’s a chance not all lifts will be open. Please check each route below for its typical seasonality.

    Alpe di Siusi: 6km, 2.5hrs; ascent/descent 190m
    Available: late May to early November
    There’s no exaggerating the Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm), Europe’s largest high Alpine plateau. Arriving here by gondola, you have easy access to its unique and uninterrupted views – over pastures that rise and fall gently to spectacular Dolomite peaks, which loom breathtakingly close. From the gondola station, we recommend a leisurely circuit that contours via the Rifugio Contrin for lunch with an unsurpassable vista. Return to Ortisei by gondola.

    Resciesa funicular: 5km, 2hrs; ascent/descent 190m
    Available: early May to early October
    With amazing, panoramic views to rival those of the Alpe di Siusi, this option begins by funicular from Ortisei and continues as a relaxing stroll to the justifiably popular Rifugio Resciesa. Wander a little further for unparalleled views that stretch as far as the main Alpine ridge, or complete a full loop to see the surrounding peaks unfold around you in all their glory. At the end of your walk, the funicular will return you to the valley floor.

    Col Raiser: 2.5km, 1hr; ascent/descent 120m
    Longer option: 3km, 1.5hrs; ascent/descent 170m
    Available: late May to early November
    Sheltered beneath high peaks, the impressively situated Rifugio Firenze is the target of this scenic short walk, which begins and ends by bus to St Cristina and the Col Raiser cable car. On your return, take the chance to climb to the UNESCO Dolomites Panoramic Balcony for grandstand views over emblematic Sassolungo, one of the area’s most distinctive mountains.

    Seceda cable car: 2km, 0.5hrs; minimal ascent/descent
    Available: late June to early November
    Awaiting you at the highest reaches of the Seceda cable car are landscapes so ethereal they alone make the ascent to 2,500 metres worthwhile. Before returning in style to the valley floor, we suggest a gentle stroll – with views to all sides – to appreciate the full magnitude of your location.

    Alpe di Siusi: 6km
    Ascend the Resciesa funicular for amazing views
    Resciesa funicular: 5km
    Col Raiser
    Col Raiser: 2.5km
  • Choice of routes: 2km to 8.5km

    Val d’Anna: 2km, 1hr; ascent/descent 90m
    A lovely shaded trail that rises gently through Ortisei’s Val d’Anna. Along the way, there are opportunities to cool hot feet in the rushing waters of a mountain stream and to pause in a well-placed hammock, before ending at a conveniently situated café – a perfect option for a sunny day.
     
    Railway path: 8.5km, 3hrs; ascent 130m/descent 450m
    Trace the path of the historic Ferata de Gherdëina as this former railway line trundles down the valley from Selva to Ortisei. En route, a succession of information boards narrate the line’s fascinating history – including its record-breaking construction in under six months by 6,000 imprisoned Russian soldiers during World War I. There are options to shorten this route using local buses, should you prefer.

    St Cristina village trail: 2.5km, 1hr; ascent/descent 120m
    Get a feel for Ortisei’s busy little neighbour by following the ‘Raida dl luech’ – a beautiful loop that begins in the village centre before crossing to the other side of the valley to pass a waterfall and offer views back over St Cristina. An interesting diversion will take you to the world’s largest hand-carved nativity scene, which began in 1998 but speaks to Val Gardena’s much longer association with the tradition of woodcarving.

    Old postal path: 3.5km, 1.5hrs; ascent 100m/descent 150m
    A good wet-weather, leg-stretching option with lower-level views over Ortisei, this route climbs out to the bucolic fringes of the village on a path once taken by the local postman.

  • Bolzano & more
    Use your included hotel travel card to journey by free bus to some of the area’s top destinations.

    Bolzano
    The regional capital, Bolzano (Bozen), is a German-speaking city with an arcaded medieval centre, Franciscan monastery and generous supply of inviting boutiques. As well as people-watching from the pavement cafés in and around Piazza Walther, we recommend a visit to the Museum of Archaeology to see the famous Copper Age Iceman, Ötzi, who is 5,300 years old!

    Sopra Bolzano
    From Bolzano, take the Rittner-Renon cable car up to Sopra Bolzano for dazzling Dolomite views, then continue by tram across the plateau to view the Earth Pyramids of Renon – the tallest and most dramatic specimens in Europe.

    Castelrotto
    It’s worth visiting Castelrotto (Kastelruth) for the scenic journey alone, but this village is also regarded as one of Italy’s most beautiful with its historic charm and attractive location beneath the iconic Sciliar Massif.

Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service. Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

  • Prices below are based on 2 people travelling together. If you are travelling solo or as a party of 3 or more and our arrangements include a taxi, please contact us for prices; additional passengers often pay less.

    Unless otherwise stated, connecting travel by rail or bus tends to be from the city centre station, rather than from its airport, and connections between the two should be paid for locally.

    Where a price range is given, the price you pay depends on your date of travel.

    A stroll in the dolomites was an excellent start to the holiday. The hotel was outstanding and the walking was breathtakingly beautiful. We would thoroughly recommend this. The ability to take cable cars and railways to the top of the mountain made the walking so enjoyable with such stunning views. 

     

    The second week was difficult walking because of the heat but the hotels more than compensated and the area was beautiful. Would recommend anyone to take a second night at Masseria Panareo as this was a real highlight.

    We were delighted with the holiday. The hotel was outstanding and the beauty of the area surpassed our expectations. It was wonderful to find such easy walking paths at such altitudes. Excellent for older walkers like ourselves.

    Our Verona city break at the start of our holiday was really enjoyable, much enhanced by the walking notes and the central position of the hotel. The old part of the city is full of charm and history with plenty of shady cafes and seats to rest on in the heat of the day. We purchased the Verona card which we felt was worth it to enable us to visit the best sights, although we were rather disappointed it didn't include the Giardino Giusti which was an extra. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly and booked evening meals for us on both our nights there. We would definitely recommend Restaurant Greppia set in a little square with a lovely atmosphere.

    Walking in the Dolomites was absolutely beautiful in early June when we were able to fully appreciate the spring flowers everywhere. The chosen walks were all very different. Our favouite walk was from the the top of the Alpe di Siusi gondola, accessed in the village. The views were spectacular and walking just right. However we also enjoyed the walk from the Resciesa Funicular which took us to very different scenery full of more wild flowers, particularly the deep blue Gentians which were incredible. Over our week's stay we recorded over 50 different wild flowers but sure there were more we just didn't spot.  It was good to have low level walking options too, as unfortunately the clouds we often obscuring the higher peaks later in our week and it was quite cold. it was exciting to get to the top of the Seceda cable car and find a lot of snow in June!  Hotel La Perla was very comfortable and a lovely place to come back to at the end of a long walk. The snacks and cake provided late afternoon a welcome indulgence with a cup of tea overlooking the mountains. Then relaxing in the outdoor infinity pool was a real treat. The facilites and staff friendliness were excellent and meals all of a very high standard with plenty of choice.

     Inntravel contacted us at the end of our stay with a new itinerary for our homeward travel due to a train strike, including new tickets for a Flixbus and new timings. It was all seamless, extremely efficient and a great relief. We would not have been aware of the strike otherwise. Thank you Inntravel, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to explore the area further one day.

    A wonderful holiday and the stay in Verona before going to Ortisei works really well. Both hotels were welcoming and just right. Guilletta e Romeo is very well placed for exploring the city and La Perla with its mini bus transport into Ortisei and the ski lifts was ideal - also good food. Some super walks even the weather was not ideal.

    INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers combined our single centre walk A Stroll in the Italian Dolomites with our Verona City add-on
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • For higher routes, we recommend going later into August to make sure they are clear of snow, cable cars are running, and mountain huts are open. The higher up you go, the later the wildflowers bloom, too.
  • Yes, prior to going on holiday you will be able to download GPX tracks so that you can follow your route on your smartphone or dedicated GPS device if you wish. It’s entirely up to you whether or not you use them – our detailed, step-by-step route notes remain the principal means of guiding you from A to B – but we provide them as a secondary means of navigation for additional reassurance when walking.
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • Absolutely! We are experts in tailored rail travel. Making use of sleeper trains or stopovers in cities along the route, we can get you from London to virtually anywhere in mainland Europe. We can even make arrangements to Mallorca, Sicily and Norway with a combination of ferries and rail. Please contact us to discuss your plans.
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Since our holidays are self-guided, we recommend calling us for a chat about your plans before making a booking, especially if it’s the first time you’ve booked with us.
    The price panel shows the supplement for a single room and also the single traveller charge (this covers (luggage) transfers and other costs which are usually shared between two people).
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Italy, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • The principal official language is Italian, though some regions have a second official language, such as South Tyrol, where German is widely spoken. The currency is the Euro. Italian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.

    If you live outside the UK, see our essential travel information page for a list of relevant websites.
  • You are the best judge of your child’s/children’s capabilities. We are happy to take bookings for families of older children/teenagers if they walk regularly, love the outdoors and are comfortable with the distances and ascent/descent involved. Please note that the bedrooms at most of the accommodation we use will normally only sleep a maximum of 3 people, and sometimes only 2.
