The ‚pale mountains‘ are always in season. In summer they are visited by walkers and serious mountaineers alike. They rise up steeply above the awed onlooker curious and majestic. They are made up of peaks of chalky dolomite stone and volcanic rock, interspersed with high plateaus, extensive pine woodland and green meadows. The Schlern, the Rosengarten and the Langkofel are real landmarks for the Dolomite mountains, often glowing red in the setting sun.

You can try out the ski slopes around the area, offering the best views. Dolomiti Superski is the name of the skiing organisation offering modern connections: on the Seiser Alm and on Kronplatz, as well as in the Gröden and Gader valleys. South Tyrol’s third linguistic group lives in these valleys: the Ladin people. They have kept up their Rhaeto-Romanic roots to this day, along with their notable energy and efficiency.
