The Alpenroyal Grand Hotel ***** is the starting point for a vast range of treks into the heart of the Dolomites, proclaimed a World Heritage Site. Equipped with a rucksack and walking stick and without using your car, you can go out, among the many possibilities, in the quiet, romantic Vallunga and from there reach the legendary peaks of the Puez. Once you arrive at the Puez Refuge, you will deserve a wonderful "Kaiserschmarrn" (a kind of omelette) and a cold bear.

Alpenroyal Grand Hotel - Gourmet & Spa ***** - Starting point for the most important hiking tours in the Dolomites

If, instead, you prefer to take things easier, you can use the cable-cars which go up to the Ciampinoi or the Seceda. Descending towards the valley, you will be able to stop in a refuge for a well-desired lunch. The warm welcome of the host will make you feel at home. Whichever trek you decide to do, you will always be surrounded by the impressive walls of the Dolomites - a World Heritage Site – the most beautiful mountains in the world, as they are defined by the Alpine climber Reinhold Messner. In fact, numerous books of sagas and legends in the Dolomites exist which tell of the magic of these limestone rocks.
So, we suggest you take part in at least once in a guided trek, to discover something more about the legends of the Dolomites.

"Wave upon wave of towering, crennelated Alpine peaks break over narrow throughs of
firlined valleys. Tiny villages, cozily resplendent with geranium-decked chalets, strudel-scented bakeries and onion-domed churches, nestle between mountain slopes so steep that grazing cows and goatslook as if they might topple off. Slender roads, twisting along rocky torrents, offer, at every bend, the possibility of a medieval castle or a delicate carved wooden shrine adorned with fresh flowers. Restaurants, with their warm wood-lined dining-rooms, or stube, are more apt to list their meat or vegetable stuffed dumplings as Knödel than gnocchi, but their guest will be as likely to speak Italian as German, or even Ladin, the ancient language of the region's earliest inhabitants. |

Hidden away in a maze of valleys, protected by the rosy fortress of the Dolomites, the South Tyrol, as it is known by German speakers, or Alto Adige, as the Italian call it, is Italy's northernmost province, stretching from the glaciers and edelweiss in its Alpine north to vineyards and olives at its southern border...
