San Vigilio und San Martin ... a mountain hiker's paradise

For lovers of mountain hiking, San Vigilio di Marebbe and San Martino in Badia offer a range of potential destinations, spectacular scenery and made to measure suggestions which few other Alpine areas can offer. From the most challenging mountaineering, involving climbing to the Dolomite peaks to day trips and multiday treks between mountain huts, pastures and mountain dairies. From the most authentic hiking, accessible to people of average fitness, to straightforward walks with children and pushchairs and gastronomic walks which put our consciences at rest if we eat a little too much, which is always a risk here.

We’ll try to give you an overview here, remembering that good, suitable equipment is the first important safety step in the mountains and that asking for advice from a guide or tourist association is always a way of personalizing to the max your day and open-air tours.  

Walks

New emotions experienced with maximum quietness

The Fanes-Senes-Braies and Puez-Odle Nature Parks, which in themselves guarantee unspoilt nature and interesting discoveries, offer you a wide choice of peaceful walks.

Our tip for trekking lovers
Lungiarü – Antersasc – Crëp dales Dodesc

Small hiking trails stretch through the Antersasc valley; in the valley basins you will enjoy indescribable peace and quiet and relax listening for any sounds of nature. Who knows if a deer or a stag is hiding behind the bushes or trees?

The green alpine meadows, with their small paths and hills, lead you up to the heights, to above the tree line, and once you have reached the top of the Crëp dales Dodesc (Cima Dodici), you can enjoy a dreamlike view of the mountaineering village of Lungiarü and of the nearby peaks of the Sas dla Crusc and Sas de Pütia, as well as of the surrounding mountain peaks.

Excursions to alpine huts

Hikes with refreshment stop

Do you love green meadows and pastures, the tranquillity of nature and slowly passing holiday days? Are you looking for the true taste of the mountains, like those who earn their bread with them every day, and would you like to marvel at the beautiful mountain peaks from a respectful distance? Then the Ladin mountain pastures and huts are exactly the right destination for you. You usually start from the place of accommodation and within a few hours of hiking you will overcome 500 to 600 m of difference in altitude, which will bring you to the limit of vegetation. Here, among mountain pines, wide expanses of alpine roses and mountain pastures, you will always find an alpine pasture or a hut that welcomes you.

Our tip for alpine hut lovers
Roda de Pütia

They can all be found around the mountain massif and each one of them will spoil and delight you with traditional Ladin and South Tyrolean food and drink. Set out and experience unforgettable moments amidst the beautiful nature of the Sas de Pütia meadows!
