Summer holidays in the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm

The Dolomites Region Seiser Alm, with its holiday villages of Kastelruth, Seis am Schlern, Völs am Schlern and Tiers am Rosengarten, has a truly unique centrepiece: the Seiser Alm – Europe’s largest high Alpine pasture, covering 56 km².
It is a wonderfully varied destination where you can enjoy a relaxed summer holiday shaped by diverse outdoor activities and delicious moments of enjoyment in family-run huts and Alpine farms – all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage, with the Schlern, Langkofel and Plattkofel, and the Rosengarten. Because the entire region lies on a high plateau, you can experience both sunrise and sunset.

People of all ages will find an activity they love on the Seiser Alm and around the villages: from easy, family-friendly walking paths and cycle routes to demanding mountain-bike trails, climbing routes and summit tours. The climate in the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm is mild, the sun shines frequently, and a lively programme of events adds extra entertainment.

  • Slippery Ground: When it rains, the ground becomes slippery. Walk carefully, look closely where you step and avoid steep, dangerous paths.
  • Lightning danger: Avoid prominent objects in case of lightning (trees, boulders etc.). On a via ferrata take the next exit.

  • Streams rise / become dangerous: In rain, streams rise and develop great danger potential. Cross them only at the marked points!
  • Rockfall danger: In heavy rain, a rockfall can occur. Therefore, do not stay near vertical rock faces under any circumstances!
  • Metal objects are dangerous: In a thunderstorm, metal objects can become dangerous. If you have something made of metal on your body, remove it immediately.
  • Leave the danger zone: Leave the danger zone as quickly as possible and seek shelter at lower levels. Also observe the local warnings.
  • Mobile phone / communication: Make sure you can call for help in an emergency (e.g. via mobile phone) and inform someone about your route before you start.
