Hiking in San Vigilio and the Dolomites

Discover the mesmerising landscape of a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Hiking in the Dolomites is always somewhat of a unique, natural experience.

There are plenty of excursion opportunities in San Vigilio and San Martino.

The Fanes-Sennes-Braies and Puez-Odle Nature Parks offer countless trails, climbs, paths, and footbridges.

Choices abound even in the vicinity of the Kronplatz if you’re looking for summer excursions, even though the area is actually better known as South Tyrol’s number 1 skiing area.

There are plenty of restaurants and guesthouses lining the many, beautiful walking paths and trails.

And, let’s admit it, for someone who’s been on as many hikes as you, the traditional and tasty meals are a just reward.

Theme trails and footpaths

Treading in the footsteps of history: the Sentiero della Pace on the Monte Vallon Bianco recounts the story of the Alpini during WWI.

Yet San Vigilio offers many other trails with nice-sounding and old names for unique experiences: the sunny, circular ‘A Sored’, the ‘Tres la val’ valley path from Mantena to the Pederü farmstead via San Vigilio, or the Weiler circular excursion ‘Roda dles Viles’, passing by old farmsteads where time seems to have stood still.

The mythical ‘Trù dles Liondes’ leads you to the legendary world of Fanes and the ‚Trù dal Ega‘ waterway is a path which informs you about the body of water and actually acts as a bridge over it.

Pleasant hikes

Guided hiking excursions are held regularly in San Vigilio and San Martino.

This is a great opportunity to explore even more of the impressive landscape in this legendary region.

Use the ‘San Vigilio HolidayPass’ to easily and comfortably reach the starting point of the excursions and hikes.

Guests will receive the pass for free upon arrival - pass holders can also use public transport in the province for free.

The summer shuttle buses are also part of the scheme.
