Summer in San Vigilio.

A hiking paradise in the Dolomites: Around San Vigilio and San Martino about 650 kilometres of hiking paths and 600 kilometres of bike routes lead through forests, across pastures and up to the high plateaus of the nature park. Many routes start right in the village or at Pederü at the end of the valley.

Add to that adventures for children and the brave: an owl park, mountain playgrounds, a via ferrata and one of the longest ziplines in Europe. After a day in the mountains, our Sky Pool awaits with a view of the nature park.

Hiking

From the village straight into the nature park

The nicest way into the nature park is the “Tres la Val” path: it follows the stream through the Rudo valley to Pederü, about ten almost flat kilometres through forest and meadows. You return comfortably by shuttle bus. From Pederü you climb to the Fanes or Sennes plateau in about two hours, where huts serve Ladin food.

If you prefer company, join the tourist board’s guided hikes in small groups. Maps, route tips and the latest weather forecast are available at our reception.
