Santa Cristina in Val Gardena

The wonderful simplicity of ancient hamlets in the Dolomites

There are places in the Dolomites where time seems to have stopped. Discover their old-time aura of traditions, local art and warm simplicity in Santa Cristina in Val Gardena.

Get to know the most authentic and relaxing side of the Dolomites and lose yourself on stunning trails leading to the amazing peaks of the Sella and Sassolungo ranges. Explore magical spots and don’t miss a single drop of this region’s beauty. It will be the most memorable souvenir you’ll bring home with you.

Santa Cristina in Val Gardena is the favourite retreat for travellers who like silence, slow-paced life and the rough beauty of the mountains. Only 2,000 people live here, mainly wood carvers, cattle breeders and hoteliers. Time really seems to have slowed down, as the local community tenaciously keep centuries-old traditions alive.

In winter, a skibus shuttle takes you to the Saslong cable car and Mount Pana ski lifts in a matter of minutes, while during the summer you can go for a leisurely walk on the old railway trail, venture on the Seurasas trails or climb up to the Città dei Sassi boulderfield to reach the Sella range. The perfect way to experience pure beauty.
