The Dolomites are places where you can immerse yourself in mountain nature and take a journey through the many traditions of the valleys that have been populated since ancient times. It also means going through the recent history of our country Italy. There are sports and recreational activities for all levels, from relaxing walks in a unique nature, to trekking for those who want a contact with the mountains to sports for professional climbers. Paths, railways, rock walls cross places of natural and historical interest, being able to visit what remains of the wars fought between these valleys that indelibly mark the peaks and passes.

Serrai di Sottoguda

The Serrai di Sottoguda or “Serai” regional nature park is one of the most beautiful areas in the Dolomites, a gorge a couple of kilometres long with walls up to 400 metres high which, in some stretches, are only a few metres away.

The erosion of the Pettorina stream that flows along this gorge, formed over millions of years, has made its waters shape the rocks forming cracks and caves on the rock faces.

The summer period transforms this place into a cool and relaxing environment to be enjoyed on walks starting from the village of the same name, Sottoguda (1252 m.a.s.l.).
