Spring arrives in the Dolomites

Exploring the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm in spring

Would you like to quietly observe how spring awakens in the Dolomites – high up in the mountains? Then visit us in the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm and enjoy a restorative break dedicated to nature, tranquillity and slow living. Especially in the holiday villages of Kastelruth, Seis am Schlern, Völs am Schlern and Tiers am Rosengarten, springtime is gentler and calmer than in the peak season – yet they still have plenty to offer.

Spring gradually arrives in the villages, located at 800 to 1,000 metres, from April onwards. Temperatures become noticeably milder and the meadows turn greener day by day. While blossoms already appear in the villages, patches of glistening snow often still remain on the Seiser Alm under the spring sun.

The Seiser Alm/Val Gardena ski area remains open until early April, as spring reaches Europe’s largest high Alpine pasture – situated at 1,800 metres – only towards the end of May. Speaking of late May: this is also when the Seiser Alm Aerial Cableway reopens. Until then, the Seiser Alm can be easily reached by public transport and by car. A number of huts are already open at this time – and hiking or biking in the blossoming landscape becomes more beautiful every day.

A special natural spectacle at high altitude
The crocus bloom on the Seiser Alm and at the Rosengarten
On the meadows of the Seiser Alm and at the foot of the Rosengarten, a very special natural spectacle awaits you in May: the crocus bloom. It lasts only one to two weeks and begins right after the snowmelt, making it difficult to predict the exact timing of the first blossoms. Between mid and late May, thousands of small flowers blanket the Alpine meadows, colouring them in vibrant shades.
