Val Gardena. The holiday valley of the Dolomites
EDITION 2012 Pascion Passion Dolomyths
The renowned researcher Friedrich Simony called the
Dolomites “a gigantic city covered in debris with numerous castles and towers“, whereas Reinhold
Messner defines them as “the world’s most beautiful mountains”.
Inspiration and time for dreaming in the realm of the
“pale mountains”: the Dolomites are unique in the world for their combination of a stunning landscape and an extraordinary rich cultural heritage. There are many legends and myths of witches, forest and fabulous creatures that populate this region, which is a UNESCO World Heritage natural site characterized by a varied fauna and flora. Around the Sella and the
Sassolungo Group spreads the impressive limestone massif that has developed millions of years ago out of a tropical sea, a unique formation that still enchants.
This natural paradise within one’s reach has always captured people’s hearts and is frequented by illustrious guests from the science, research and art sector as well as by hikers, cyclists and winter sports enthusiasts.

cinch 5 Nature’s beauty
The Puez-Odle Nature Park in the heart of the Dolomites, which are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage natural site, is like an “open book of geological Earth history” testifying to the existence of the tropical sea that once dominated the region.
In this protected area, nature lovers feel like in
paradise. Here you can find many rock types, sedimen-
tary depositions and alteration zones, you can admire
spruces, larches and Swiss pines as well as gorgeous
alpine roses by the wayside and now and then you can
observe also chamois, which live in the mountain pine
copse. In spring, anemones and snowbells, primroses
and crocuses sprout on the alpine meadows of Val
Gardena, while in summer you can enjoy the sight of
various species of Gentiana and Nigritella. Rare types
of orchids like the lady’s slippers and the Turk’s cap
lily will catch the eye of the most careful observers,
whereas animal lovers will be delighted by hearing the
calls of the ravens and the cheeky alpine choughs
nestling in the fissures of the Dolomites. And with
some luck, you will be able to admire majestic golden
eagles flying high above Vallunga.
La ferata de Gherdëina
The railway of Val Gardena was a 31 km long local
narrow-gauged railway, which was built during World
War I for military use. Parts of the train path still exist
today and can be discovered on a walk that stretches
through the whole valley starting in Ortisei and
ending in Plan near Selva Gardena.
6 sies The smell of Swiss pines, the lush green of the alpine pastures, the rugged cliffs: summer in Val Gardena is a natural spectacle.
set 7 Impressive rock formations in the heart of the most beautiful moun- tains of the world. A paradise for mountaineering enthusiasts and for those who are just curious.
8 ot Crëta Confidence
nuef 9 Both the locals and the guests answer the call of the moun- tains with enthusiasm: on two wheels, with poles, in climbing gear or by foot.
10 diesc Conquering the peaks
At the beginning of the 19th century, the first mountaineering enthusiasts decided to discover the mountains, thus founding what in the following century became the alpine guides group.
The alpinism in the Dolomites of Val Gardena looks back at a long tradition boasting many pioneers as for example the mountaineer Ferdinand Glück from Selva
Gardena, who in the 1930s was known as “King of the
Sella Towers”. But also the recent history of Val
Gardena has generated heroes of the mountains like the extreme climber Karl Unterkircher, who died in
2008 during an expedition on Nanga Parbat. He was born in Selva Gardena and was an alpine guide and member of the known Catores group as well as the president of the mountain rescue service Aiut Alpin
Dolomites. To this day, togetherness and solidarity are the virtues that characterise the mountaineers of
Val Gardena. In the valley, the Val Gardena Mountain
Guide Association and the Alpine School Catores organise personalized hiking and climbing excursions.
The Karl-Unterkircher-Award
The Karl-Unterkircher-Award is granted for great alpine climbing skills. The second edition of this event for all mountain lovers and all interested people will take place at the beginning of July 2012.

14 catordesc Mountain people
A hunting population evolved into a farming commu- nity with a unique language and the typical mentality of the inhabitants of this fantastic valley.
The Ladin language came up through the romanisation of the Raeti, the ancient farming population living in
Val Gardena, who emerged from the hunting people populating this area already 8000 years ago. Until seventy years ago, the majority of the locals still plied its trade as mountain farmers working the alpine pastures and steep slopes around the Sella and the
Sassolungo Group. With time, this burdensome living has shaped the people of the valley: diligence and resourcefulness, togetherness and consciousness of tradition, but also the open-mindedness are until today characteristics of Val Gardena’s people.
A congenial mixture: still nowadays, the inhabitants of the valley are conscious of their roots and cherish traditional values.
Val Gardena folklore festival
On occasion of the traditional folklore festival taking place on the first Sunday in August, the guests can enjoy various concerts of Val Gardena’s bands and the famous parade in the traditional costumes accompanied by a delicious gastronomic offer. The festival is organised by the Tourism Associations together with various other associations of the three villages of the valley.
chindesc 15 Wood carving art
Handcraft with tradition: at the beginning of the 17th
century, the people of Val Gardena began to carve
wood. Nowadays, they are known all over the world for
their artwork.
Until today, the wood carving art of Val Gardena’s
artisans is known far beyond the boundaries of the
small Dolomite valley. This ancient tradition is still
being maintained and passed on from generation to
generation. The association UNIKA was founded by
various artists and artisans and its name stands for
the uniqueness of the art works and their creators.
The cultural centre of Ortisei hosts the newly designed
ART52 exhibition gallery, which provides interesting
insights into the arts of Val Gardena, demonstrating
the many stylistic changes that wood carving in the
area has undergone in its four-centuries-old evolution.
The wooden sculptures are marked by the Gardena Art
trademark of the same-named association of laborato-
ries specialized in wood carving that makes them
instantly recognisable as quality works of art.
The UNIKA sculpture fair
Every year in September, the popular UNIKA sculpture
fair in Val Gardena takes place. The permanent
exhibition Galaria UNIKA, however, is open all year:
it displays many original works of art and hosts also
wood carving demonstrations.

dejenuef 19 A multilingual world
Ladin, a Rhaeto-Romanic language, developed in the
isolation of Val Gardena out of Vulgar Latin and the
rests of the ancient local language.
The third official language of South Tyrol is the
“trademark” of the ethnic minority that counts four
percent of the province’s population. The Ladin area of
South Tyrol begins at the entrance of Val Gardena in
Pontives. Ladin is also spoken in the neighbouring
territories Val Badia and Val di Fassa, in the area of
Cortina d’Ampezzo and in the Grisons (canton of
Switzerland). The people of Val Gardena are proud of
their traditions, cultivate their language and pass it
on to posterity. The maintenance of Ladin is also
conducted through the school education, various
publications as well as television and radio broad-
casts. Nowadays, the Ladin language is highly
threatened by the penetration of foreign elements,
but it is still alive and spoken by the majority of the
population.
Gherdëina, Gherdëina
The folk anthem of Val Gardena’s people finishes
appropriately with the following verse:
Gherdëina, Gherdëina,
de l’oma si rujené
rejona, rejona

[Val Gardena, Val Gardena,
the language of the mother

32 trëntedoi A place for children
Already in the 17th century, the local inhabitants have started to demonstrate great attention to the children using their wood carving skills to create toys for them and telling the little ones the legends of the Dolomites.
The children can discover the locations of these old myths personally during outings with their parents, the alpine guides or the hosts of the various childcare facilities. On the traces of legendary figures, the trips lead to the Lech Sant, the “Holy Lake” on the Mastlé alpine pastures above S. Cristina, and to the rugged cliffs of the Sassolungo. At the climbing crag in
Vallunga and in the climbing gyms in the three villages of Val Gardena, the children can have fun and demonstrate their abilities under professional guidance; for the more adventurous ones there is a high ropes course and for the littlest ones there are many playgrounds in the child- and family-friendly villages of the valley. In winter, the Val Gardena
SuperKids offer includes discounts for little skiers, and in summer there are special prices for children during the Val Gardena Family Weeks.

The three villages Ortisei, S. Cristina and Selva
Gardena combine in perfect harmony nature and
Selva Gardena pulsating life. The guests will find comfortable
accommodation facilities able to fulfil every wish.T he
main village Ortisei (1236 m) at the entrance of the
valley will enchant you with its inviting pedestrian
zone boasting a variety of little shops, its beautiful
hiking trails and the numerous cultural and traditional
events. You can admire the architecture of the area
characterised by its farmhouses and the ancient
buildings in the centre of the village, which have been
very well kept and maintained over the last century,
and the St. Jacob’s Church. The picturesque village of
S. Cristina (1428 m) is located between Monte Pana,
S. Cristina Col Raiser and Seceda at the finish of the famous
World Cup downhill run Saslong and is well worth a
visit for its parish church, the Fischburg/Gardena
Castle and the sun dial on Monte Pana. Selva Gardena
(1563 m) is to be found at the sunny end of the valley.
The village is surrounded by the jagged peaks of the
Sassolungo, the Cir and the Sella Group. Here there
are many bars and pubs that make up great après-ski
locations and are the ideal place to sip an aperitif in a
stylish atmosphere. In the whole valley, the guests
can practice a wide range of sports in the untouched
nature of the Dolomites.
