Hiking holidays in Selva di Val Gardena
Experiencing the Dolomites one step at a time
Whether in summer or winter – the Dolomites offer unforgettable hiking experiences. Majestic mountains, crisp air, and breathtaking scenery accompany you every step of the way. From the green alpine valleys in summer to the snow-covered paths in winter – every hiker will find their own personal favourite route here.
Exploration tours in the Dolomites
In spring, summer, and autumn, the Dolomites transform into a true paradise for hikers. Flowering meadows, sweeping alpine pastures, and panoramic summits offer walking options for every taste. From gentle strolls along the alpine meadows to more demanding mountain hikes to the summits of the Dolomites – every step reveals a new panorama. A stop at one of the cosy mountain huts, where you can enjoy regional specialities, is the perfect way to round off a day’s hiking. Another highlight: the fresh mountain air and the opportunity to walk paths through a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Winter walking: rediscovering magical landscapes
When the Dolomites are blanketed in white in winter, a very special kind of beauty unfolds. Snow-covered forests, peaceful, snow-dusted paths, and breathtaking views of the peaks invite you to explore the winter wonderland of the Dolomites. Snowshoe walks lead you through untouched nature and offer a unique opportunity to savour the stillness of winter and the clear, fresh mountain air. Here, away from the ski slopes, you can experience the quiet, almost magical atmosphere to the full – a true adventure for all those who wish to enjoy winter in its purest form.
Hiking experiences away from the crowds
At Hotel Kristiania, we have personal hiking recommendations that will lead you to the most beautiful corners of the Dolomites. We know the finest trails and are always happy to share tips that go well beyond the well-known routes. Here are just a few we would like to introduce:
- Juac – Rifugio Regensburg – Col Raiser: this picturesque hike offers breathtaking views and leads you to one of the most beautiful vantage points in the Dolomites.
- Vallunga in the heart of the nature park: a peaceful path for nature lovers, leading you to the most unspoilt parts of our valley.
- Hike to the Church of St Jakob: a historic route along the “Heidenweg”, connecting you not only with nature but also with the history of the Dolomites.
These are just a few of the many hikes you can discover with us. Feel free to ask us in person for further off-the-beaten-track paths and quiet corners, well away from the well-trodden tourist trails.
