The Val Gardena Dolomites
3 daily tours to discover the Dolomites:
Tour below the Geisler – Sellaronda MTB Tour clockwise – Alpe di Siusi Hut Tour
Erster Tag: Tour below the Geisler/Odle
This tour through the Puez-Geisler nature park is one of the most impressive mountain bike ventures in the Gardena valley. The tour starts in Selva Gardena and various trails lead us, passing the little chapel of San Giacomo, to Ortisei. Here starts the ascent to the Raschötz Alp. The panoramic path from the Raschötz mountain cabin as far as the Holy Cross Chapel alone would be worth the almost 1,000m in altitude difference from Ortisei. But there is still better to come. In the second half of the tour you pass through inspired trails straight to the foot of the steeply towering Geisler mountain range. There the distinctive Pieralongia rock formation is waiting with scenery for the perfect souvenir photo.
The ascient from Ortisei to the Alp of Rasciesa can be obmittet, using the cablecar of Raschötz.
