Near South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology
Seiser Alm 23 km
The largest high Alpine meadow in Europe, a rolling Dolomite plateau above Val Gardena in South Tyrol. It is ski country in winter and hiking country in summer, with the Sassolungo and Sciliar peaks rising at its edges.
Val Gardena 28 km
A valley in the Dolomites of South Tyrol, running through the villages of Ortisei, Santa Cristina and Selva under the Sassolungo and Sella peaks. It is best known for skiing and rock climbing, and for a long tradition of carving figures in wood.
Val di Funes 30 km
A quiet valley and farming municipality in South Tyrol, about 30 km northeast of Bolzano. Its best known view is the little church of Santa Maddalena set in green meadows below the jagged Odle peaks.
Lago di Braies 60 km
A natural lake at the head of the Prags valley in the Dolomites of South Tyrol, its green water set right under the cliffs of the Seekofel. Wooden rowing boats tie up at the boathouse, and a path loops all the way round the shore.
Lake Sorapis 67 km
A small mountain lake at 1,925 metres in the Sorapiss group of the Dolomites, about 12 km from Cortina d'Ampezzo. It is reached only on foot, and its milky turquoise water under the pale cliffs is the reward at the end of the walk.
Tre Cime di Lavaredo 74 km
Three sheer, battlement-like towers of rock in the Sexten Dolomites, among the best known mountain shapes in the Alps. A loop path runs right round their base, and from the north side the three faces line up side by side.
Swiss National Park 98 km
Founded in 1914, the oldest national park in the Alps and in Central Europe, set in the Engadin between Zernez, S-chanf, Scuol and the Fuorn Pass. Its forests and high valleys are left entirely to nature, and red deer, chamois and ibex roam its marked trails.
Bernina Pass 102 km
A high pass in the Bernina Range linking St. Moritz and the Engadin with the Italian-speaking Val Poschiavo. The Bernina railway crosses it in the open, running past the pale waters of Lago Bianco, a few kilometres east of Piz Bernina.
