Many visitors are captivated by the mountain summers in Val Gardena, with their radiant blue skies, the purity of the fresh air, the carpets of meadow flowers, the mysterious forests, the pale mountains that glow red in the setting sun, and the sheer enchantment of evening in the Dolomites.
Once you have experienced the Val Gardena mountain summer you will come back. It is a summer with a big heart and a thousand joys. Just give it a try-maybe for a week in spring, a whole month away from it all, of for a string of those incredibly clear days of late summer.
