A roadside stop on the drive in from Slovenia — a good excuse to photograph the landmark Hotel Hubertus before pushing on to the valley.

A quiet spot to wrap up the walk — the small lakeside chapel makes a peaceful place to sit and have a drink before heading back.

9 stops
An early-morning drive to beat the road closure at Alpe di Siusi, then a gondola ride up to the Seceda ridge for lunch and sweeping views over Val Gardena.

Arriving early is essential — the access road closes to tourists later in the morning, so getting here at dawn is the only way to secure a spot.

Alpe di Siusi

The famous viewpoint over Alpe di Siusi: vast Alpine meadows stretching toward the Schlern massif, best appreciated in the soft early-morning light.
4 km · 5m
Parkplatz

Parking here at €5/hour — everything else was already full. Worth arriving as early as possible to avoid the same fate.
