In summer, the most intense experiences that the unique world of the Dolomites has to offer await you. In this Ladin paradise you can admire unique natural phenomena, to be experienced only here in all their grandeur and beauty: from the alpine flora, unique for its variety that blooms on the mountain pastures in early summer, to the reddening of the peaks, to the exceptional possibilities for hikers, climbers, mountain bikers and paragliding lovers. A summer in Val Gardena in the Dolomites provides many opportunities for outdoor fun and relaxation.
Because of its central location in Ortisei, the Aquila Dolomites Residence makes an ideal base for lots of different adventures - times to treasure, far from the stresses of daily life.
You can embark on some lovely walks in the Dolomites just a few minutes away from the residence, or try some more demanding hikes along well-signed routes. There is something for everyone: young and old can choose from the many trails with varying levels of difficulty according to their physical condition.
Ortisei is situated in the heart of Val Gardena, surrounded by world-famous mountains, and is the ideal starting point for many hikes and tours. Val Gardena is the Dolomite valley par excellence, listed as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
There are several ski lifts within a 5-minute walk, including one to the Alpe di Siusi. The escalator up to the Alpe Seceda cable car is just 2-minutes' walk away, and the Rasciesa funicular is 10 minutes away.
Ortisei and Val Gardena are an ideal destination for both road cyclists and mountain bikers. You can get everywhere by bike, also thanks to the possibility of taking them along in the lifts.
Val Gardena is not only known for splendid hikes in the Dolomites, but has also acquired the reputation of being one of the most beautiful areas in the world for sport climbers.
