S. Cristina

1428 m

We are located in the geographic centre of Val Gardena on the sunny side of the valley, protected by the magnificent peaks of Sassolungo. The small village, we call home, serves as a direct entry point to the slopes of the Sella Ronda and the Val Gardena Ronda and is thus a favourite for winter sports. In the summertime, S. Cristina is the ideal departure point for both easy and challenging hikes through the blossom-filled valleys and alpine meadows of the Puez-Geisler and Schlern natural parks.
