Parking on the Seiser Alm & in the valley
All information about parking in the Dolomites Region Seiser Alm
We therefore recommend leaving your car either in the large free car park or in one of the two paid multi-storey car parks at the bottom station of the Seiser Alm Aerial Cableway, and then taking the Aerial Cableway up to Europe’s largest Alpine pasture. The journey is quick, comfortable and scenic - and it helps protect the environment.
