In summer , South Tyrol is a mecca for hiking, mountaineering, mountain biking and road biking. The Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, offer easy hikes on well-maintained paths in the valley and on the high plateaus of Col Alt - Pralongià or Piz La Ila. Longer tours can be found in the Puez - Geisler Nature Park, while the ascent of the Sassongher and Piz Boè can be tackled by experienced mountaineers. The picturesque mountain village of La Villa, near San Cassiano and in the heart of the Dolomites, becomes a hotspot for cyclists every summer. La Villa is the starting point of the traditional "Maratona dles Dolomites". Cycling around the Sella massif or taking part in the car-free "Sella Ronda Bike Day" also attracts many sports enthusiasts to the Dolomites.
In Val Badia, the leisure opportunities in summer are almost limitless. Via ferratas, tennis courts, the Alta Badia golf course and several museums provide variety, excitement and relaxation in equal measure. An insider tip for bad weather is the Museum of the Sleeping Bear in the Conturines cave. Alta Badia offers all kinds of accommodation, from hotels and family-run guesthouses to vacation apartments. The village of Colfosco to the west offers a popular accommodation option for young and old with the Colfosco campsite and is the ideal starting point for hikes. Those looking for more luxury should book one of the numerous hotels right in the center of Corvara. Be fascinated by the webcams in San Cassiano and experience the magic of the Dolomites live!
