Val Gardena Active Ortisei Magic experience in the Dolomites
2018
„Cunëscer Gherdëina“ discover Val Gardena! It’s the contrast that captures our attention more than anything else: Lift your gaze upwards to meet the grey, shimmering summits and ice-blue glaciers of the still snow-covered mountains, above them the sky in its merciful blue, down below in the valley the soft green of a stirring nature. There are places where well-being is so simple. Breathe in the fresh scent of nature, as you walk across meadows in bloom and scraggy peaks, animals and plants titillating close. The Dolomites, a true spectacle of nature, have been working their unique and extraordinary magic on mountaineers, sport enthusiasts, artists and writers alike. In Val Gardena, keeping traditions alive is something, which goes hand in hand with the conscientious life style of the valley dwellers. Traditional buildings, from small mountain chapels to impressive monasteries, are distinguished by their loving attention to detail. Locals cherish their perennial traditions and habits. It’s never a dull day when visiting Val Gardena during summer. That’s also because Val Gardena Active offers plenty of interesting activities in and around the valley where nature and culture take centre stage.
Is your accommodation a partner facility of Val Gardena Active? If so, you can participate in the listed events for free or for a reduced price. In the following pages of this brochure we aim to shed light on the most beautiful locations in the valley as well as on the locals themselves. Blessed with a unique natural backdrop and an interesting culture, Val Gardena has always been worth a visit. However, what really makes this trip unforgettable has always been – and will always be – meeting some of the locals. They all share the same infinite love for their region, which is expressed through their close ties with its language, customs and nature. Your Val Gardena Active Team – Ortisei Beatrix Insam

The ancient corn mills above Ortisei, in the small village of Bulla, date back to the 18th and 19th century. The mills were used to grind the locally cultivated corn. In the 1970s the milling in the gorge was completely stopped and the mills threatened to decay bit by bit. Later on, they were restored. During a guided tour you get a good insight into the miller’s craft and into the manner of living in those days. Memories of old times!
