Sun-kissed skin, the fragrant mountain air smells of adventure – hearts are filled with the happiness of a mountain summer. It’s the perfect mix of acceleration and deceleration – being active while calming down. And as such the anticipation is great: to lacing up the hiking boots, to marching out, pedalling off and feeling the tailwind. Take a deep breath. Off to explore impressive paths high above the valley, where everyday life ends and the beauty of the Alps begins. First we arrive, then the rest: the freedom, the gratitude, the pride and the happiness.
The hiking region around Valdaora in Val Pusteria holds nothing back. Instead, it offers it all: the deep blue waters of the Lago di Braies invite you to take a boat trip, the famous three peaks of Tre Cime di Lavaredo can be circumnavigated, the high plateau Prato Piazza in Braies invites you to enjoy hikes, and on the panorama trail in Valdaora & on Plan de Corones you will learn to love the region. Whether alpine conquests, mountain fun, fine walks, Nordic walking or guided hikes – immerse yourself in the magical world of the Dolomites.
Be it exploring the valley cycle paths with the family by bike, going on a pleasure tour on an e-bike or getting a breath of mountain air on a mountain bike – the magical Dolomites open up unimagined possibilities for cyclists with their 1,200 km of cycle path network. Cruise along the 105 km long Val Pusteria cycle path in stages, pay a visit to the Lake Braies, go on a bike tour to the Plan de Corones and enjoy the downhill & freeride routes, head off into the Casies valley and much more!
You could rightly say that there are mountains of possibilities to diversify your summer holiday. It is not only the fascinating treasures of nature that tempt visitors, but also a balanced cultural experience of sights and museums, castles and palaces, city and country life. On Plan de Corones you can listen to the warm tones of the Friedensglocke Concordia 2000, visit the Messner Mountain Museum Corones and marvel at the LUMEN Museum of Mountain Photography. You might also take a trip to the medieval town of Brunico, which attracts visitors with its colourful alleys, elegant boutiques and promising shops …
