- Dolomites Italy and its cute alpine huts. Eat the best of Italy’s South Tyrolean food after an easy summer hike to majestic views on the Dolomites Alpe di Siusi, Seiser Alm and Seceda. You’ll go on a hike to Italy and Europe’s largest alpine meadow below soaring peaks of UNESCO heritage protected mountains. Experience charming wooden huts, the warmth of local people, and high altitude trails with expansive views of the Dolomites most famous mountain groups. You’ll meet cows, edelweiss flowers, and the surprise of live traditional music in the middle of nowhere.
The Dolomites are a vast section of the European alps, famous for their pale and dramatic limestone mountains and designated as a UNESCO heritage site. Malga, Hütte, Schwaige, Baita, are all places to eat. Rifugios also offer a place to sleep. Our base is a house in Selva, the highest village in the steep valley called Val Gardena, about 45 minutes from Bolzano.
On our way to Seceda, Malga Troier brings us a basket of a South Tyrolean bread called Shüttlebrot. Shüttlebrot is a local cracker-bread. After we visit the Seceda peak, at Sofie Hutte Emre orders Grustl a popular hikers staple of eggs, smoked bacon, and fried potatoes.And I order Schlutzkrapfen. While we wait, the kitchen brings a surprise. An octopus salad.
Next we head for Alpe di Suisi or Seiser Alm, which is Europe’s largest and most magnificent alpine meadow. From the car park at Compatch, we’re heading up the meadow toward Punta di Oro. We follow the signs to the Gostner Hut, where we’ll have our first course with he Sasso Group mountains on one side and the Sciliar or Schlern on the other. Our second stop is only a short distance away, where Baita Tuene hut delivers on a panoramic view and traditional knödle with cole slaw. The final hut of our quest is the Rauch Hutte. We eat polenta with mushrooms and Kaiserschmarrn. Our Mountain Huts: Malga Troier, Sofie Hutte, Gostner Schwaige, Baita Tuene, Rauch Hutte.

Thankyou for such a beautiful share again. So picture perfect and thanks for sharing all the places you experienced. Safe travels x
Our pleasure! Thank you for your kind thoughts! They mean a lot to us.
Hi! Just another gorgeous video and an interesting hut contest! My wife and I always come skiing on these mountains in winter. Sophie Huette in Winter is one of our favourites, but to be honest, Alpe di Siusi (Seiserhalm) is a bit too flat for alpine skiers and is certainly very charming and appealing in summertime with its beautiful meadows! So, no really fair competition for sure! Many thanks for sharing!
Wow, in winter Val Gardena must be spectacular! I think I would be doing a lot of face-plants, with all my attention on the scenery. Thank you for watching, your encouragement, and sharing your experience!
Absolutely stunning! Looking forward to making a visit to this area. How many times did you sing the "Sound of Music" song while there?
Haha, no breath left for singing! It's even better than it looks in the video, so hard to capture how immense the meadows and mountains are. Thanks for watching!
Looks so amazing. I’ve been there skiing.
Why was it surprising that the ravioli was good?
It must be stunning in winter, covered in snow!
Thank you very much for the video. We are planning to fly over End of May - I hope the huts are open. Which hike did you prefer and how long are the hikes all together? Troier Hut, Sofie hut and then back down with the Gondola from which you started? Or did you like the Seiser Alm better? By the way, which one of you speaks German? Thank you for you hiking descriptions. Best regards from SoCal. -- Cheers.
Have a great time on your trip to the Dolomites! We always go to both Seceda (steep, dramatic views) and Seiser Alm (majestic, open space) as they are pretty different. And we spend a whole day on each. You can check the webcams to help decide what looks most promising in May, as the snow conditions over the winter will influence the start of spring and summer in the Alps. Most of the huts have a website or there are very good tourist offices in Ortisei and Selva if you need help with opening hours and suggestions. Before going to the Seiser Alm, if by car, please check the opening hours of the road in the upward direction is closed by mid-morning and only open again in the early evening. Going down by car there are no restrictions.
@@happygoluckytravel Thank you very much for the additional info. This will help out.
Found your video yesterday and loved it !! Can you tell me if a car is required to best see this area ? Grazie
Thank you for watching! There is a bus system, but we found a car helpful. The weather can turn quickly in the mountains. And the cable cars have limited hours. Have a great trip to the Dolomites!
@@happygoluckytravel Thanks ! We are heading for Galicia in a couple of weeks so are hoping to fit in the Dolomites late in the summer/fall. Cheers !
Have a great time in Galicia! Let us know what you think of it! A place we've always had on our list.
Thank you for this video! Would you mind sharing what time of year you visited?
Thank you for watching! This was end of July.
Where is the alpine huts where you went to eat ?
Thank you for watching! Our Mountain Huts: Malga Troier, Sofie Hutte, Gostner Schwaige, Baita Tuene, Rauch Hutte. You can find more details about what we ate in the details/description of the video. All the best!
@@happygoluckytravel they are all easily accessible? Travelling with kids
Depends on your kids -- we did see many families on the trails. Seiser Alm is easier, especially if you take the Panorama chairlift up from Compatch, then the walking is mostly across and down the meadow. Gostner, Tuene and Rauch huts are on the Seiser Alm.
For the Seceda area, you can take the Aerial tram from Ortisei to the top of the mountain and walk down to Troier or Sofie. Then you can keep walking down to the Col Riser gondola, ride to the bottom, and bus back to Ortisei. The route we took in the video starting at the top of the Col Riser gondola, going up to the huts was the same as 100 flights of stairs.
