A Spring Day Trip to Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm)

L
ike wildflowers you’ve been to places others never heard of and you’ve bloomed in places no one speaks of…
– f a s c i n i t y

When I think about the fact that I only spent 2 days in the Dolomites, I instantly regret it.  And to think, I was about to cut this segment out of my trip entirely thinking I didn’t have enough time.  What a gigantic mistake THAT would have been!

There is so much to explore in the Dolomites region alone, that you would need at least two weeks to see and experience a significant portion of it.  In my short stay, I only had the opportunity to visit two places.

In my last post about this region, I brought you Lago di Braies, but I have to honestly say that Alpe di Siusi was the highlight of my entire trip to Europe.  I have never seen a natural landscape look so beautiful, so perfect and idyllic.   It’s sheer majesty, expanse and beauty almost seems otherworldly, powerful and transcendent.  You can’t help but stop, find a place amongst the wildflowers and just soak up the surroundings and sounds.  Having the place all to myself was also an added bonus – how did I get so lucky?

Alpe di Siusi / Seiser Alm: Langkofel Group on a cloudy day in Spring

About the area

I don’t know if it’s the wide expanse of Europe’s largest mountain plateau or the breathtaking views of the surrounding Dolomite peaks, but you can’t help but feel a sense of complete freedom standing here.

Seiser Alm is a UNESCO World Heritage site and is known as the heart of the Dolomites.  The stunning peaks in the background of my pictures are called the Langkofel/Sassolungo group,  but the plateau is also home to another group of well known peaks called the Sciliar Massifs.

The beauty of the area boasts 790 difference species of plants and 300 days of sun – although I guess I came on one of the unlucky days!  Regardless, I think I have fallen in love with the moody, cloud filled skies over the blue skies anyway!

The plateau is home to 4 small localities: Compatsch / Compaccio, Saltria, Giogo and Piz, in addition to a series of mountain huts spread over the highland.

Compatsch is the main town on the plateau and is primarily tourism-orientated.  While you’ll find a few restaurants and hotels here, the area is mainly home to cable car stations, the Bullaccia furnicular and other lift services. Similarly, public traffic is not allowed in Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi from  9AM to 5PM and can only be accessed by local buses from the surrounding villages or the cable car from Seis village.  Find Compatsch / Compaccio at Location 13 on the interactive map below.

Well known for its ski fields in winter, in spring and summer Alpe di Siusi/Seiser Alm is just as fun, if not more.  Think gentle strolls through wildflower fields, climbing magnificent peaks, swimming in pristine lakes, hiking, paragliding, mountain bike riding and more!  Oh let’s not forget to mention the glorious food!

Geology – How Was Seiser Alm Created?

I

find geology particularly fascinating – especially when it comes to unique landmarks. So, if I asked you how the Dolomites were formed, what would you guess?

A volcano explosion? Maybe an earthquake?  If you guessed either of those, you’d be

wrong! The area was in fact a giant coral reef that began forming around 250 million years ago in the Thetys Ocean.  The rocks, originally limestone, accumulated so much pressure they transformed into Dolomite. When the sea retreated, the rock was open to the elements and sandstone sedimentation.   Over time, the sandstone eroded more easily than the dolomite, creating the jagged rock formations we see today.

The Legends of Alpe di Suisi / Seiser Alm

I

f you’ve read my Lago di Braies post, you’ll know this area is extremely rich in it’s folklore – folklore that is the kind found in fairytales. There are the Gannes – spirits of the springs, whose water abilities help to cure all kinds of ailments, salvans – wild dwarves who are followers of King Laurin, giants and of course, witches & warlocks.  It’s really not hard to feel the otherworldly magic when you’re here.

While this area is home to thousands of legends, I’ll go into detail on the legends behind the two main peaks in the area: the Sassolungo/Langkofel Group and the Sciliar Massif.

As it was known, Sassolungo, a local thief in the area, had a particular penchant for stealing chickens from his neighbouring farmers.  Whenever they complained, Sassolungo was always prepared with an excuse, blaming it on the local foxes or eagles.  Unable to get him to confess, the farmers decided the only way to make this problem stop was to catch Sassolungo in the act.  The next time Sassolungo tried to steal a chicken he was caught and called up to testify before the giant’s high court.  Sassolungo’s pleas of innocence fell on deaf ears and as soon as the giants delivered their sentence, the ground beneath Sassolungo broke apart and he began to sink into the ground.  In attempts to break freak, Sassolungo reached up with his hand

into the sky, but it was too late.  Today the only existence of Sassolungo on Earth are his 5 fingers, reaching toward the sky, forming the Sassolungo peaks.

While not everyone knows the legend of the Sassolungo peaks, one legend everyone is familiar with is that of the Sciliar Witches.  That’s right, witches from near and far would come flying on their broomsticks to meet on the ridge of the Sciliar.  How else would you explain the mysterious thunder storms that only seem to hover around the Sciliar Massif?  It must be the work of witches.

Historically, the ‘witches’ were local women who used herbs to cure illnesses and carried out rituals promoting a good harvest.  However with the growth of Christianity during the middle ages, witchcraft became seen as satanic worship. As a result, it is said that 9 women were sentenced to death for being witches and weather makers in the area.

Only one witch named Martha was a good witch, especially with children and nature.  She is even known to be able to turn herself into a squirrel and is the most famous witch in the area.  It is important to know, that these myths and legends are still alive today and you can even go on tours with a Witch named Martha…who knows, maybe she’s the same one from the legends!

Things to See & Do

W

ith so many things to do in Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi, and a great deal more in the Dolomites, a day trip really isn’t enough.  So if you’re reading this and wondering how long to spend here, yes add in as many extra days as your itinerary will allow!  Regardless of how many days you can spend here, making the most of your time is important.  So here is a list of things you can do in the area – pick and chose the sights and activities that suit you best.

Take Amazing Photos

Alpe di Siusi / Seiser Alm: Langkofel Group

B

eing a lover of photography, I spent my time here doing just that.  It seems that everywhere you look is another stunning photograph and I found myself completely lost in the moment.  I know you’re probably thinking two things 1. How is there nobody around in the photos? 2. Where is this location?

To answer your questions, I absolutely do not know how I got so lucky with not having anyone in the area when I arrived.  I did take these photos after 5PM and it was a cloudy day that suggested rain was coming.  I also visited in early June which is technically still the shoulder season.  Over my time capturing photos I saw one other photographer, who set up further up on the hill behind me and a group of hikers.  Other than that, there was no one. And it was perfect!

Finding the location was more of a challenge.  I had seen this exact view online prior to visiting, but I couldn’t find anyone that had mentioned an exact geo-location. So I basically took a giant stab in the dark and was so stocked when I actually found it.

While you can hike to this location, I actually drove here – but be careful, I shared my location with another photographer I met on my journey and he ended up getting a parking ticket :S  Either I got lucky, or he got incredibly unlucky.

Without knowing the rules too precisely, the main town of Seiser Alm, Compaccio/Compatsch is closed to traffic between 9AM – 5PM.  I arrived after this time, so this might also be why I didn’t have any problems with parking tickets.  You can read more about the traffic regulation rules here.

Find this photography location at Location 1 on the interactive map.

Hike To The Mysterious Witches Benches

I

t’s no guessing that this beautiful area is home to some amazing hikes.  In fact, there are a total of 43 hikes in the area, all with varying difficulties and durations.  For a list of all hikes and details, please see here.

However the most famous hike is to the summit of the Puflatsch / Bullaccia where you’ll find odd-shaped rock formations that look like armchairs.  These are known as the Witches Benches and it is here that the witches would sit of an evening to dance and enjoy the view of the Val Gardena and villages below.

This trail is suitable for families (no strollers) and you’ll be rewarded with beautiful panoramic views of the villages Castelrotto and Laion.  There’s also a place to eat on the hiking trail if any little ones start getting restless.

  • Starting point: Compatsch / Compaccio
  • Duration: 2.5 – 3 hours
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • More details here.

Siusi allo Sciliar / Seis am Schlern / Seis

This village lies at the foot of the legendary Sciliar/Schlern Massif and is known as the door to the Dolomites.  Out of the four surrounding villages, this one is very close to Seiser Alm/ Alpe di Siusi and is the only village with a direct cable car to the plateau.

Siusi allo Sciliar is home to numerous themed trails such as the Geologist’s trail, where you can explore 270 million years of the Earth’s history through the rock layers of the Rio Freddo /Frötschbach.  Or travel in the footsteps of poet and Knight Oswald von Wolkenstein and discover the ruins of Castelvecchio (Oswald’s home) and Castel Salego.  Or if food is more your thing, the mushroom trail will take you through the Laranza forest, home to various mushrooms such as the boletus, chanterelle, fly agaric and more.  Information boards along the way, will have a mushroom connoisseur of you by the end of the trail!

Find Seis at Location 6 on the interactive map, Castelvecchio at Location 7 and Castel Salego at Location 8.

Fiè allo Sciliar / Völs am Schlern

For travellers looking for a health retreat try Fiè allo Sciliar.  Known as the home of the hay bath, this village has become somewhat of a health resort. So what exactly is a hay bath?  A tradition held for over 110 years, a hay bath involves being wrapped in healing herbs cut exclusively from the unfertilised meadows of Seiser Alm / Alpe di Siusi.  These herbs and grasses often include a mix of thyme, anica, cinquefoil and gentian.  The secret is being wrapped in these herbs at temperatures of 40 – 50 degrees where sweating and breathing in the alpine herbs helps to purge to body and creates immuno-stimulating effects.

Now, I know we’re focusing on Spring time, but Fiè allo Sciliar is also known for its food.  If you visit in October, you’ll be invited to participate in the culinary festival of Völser Kuchlkastl, which basically means enjoying a range of South Tyrolean dishes such as “Brennsuppe” (gruel), buckwheat noodles and mutton, alpine herbs, local mushrooms and plenty of other natural ingredients.  Find out more here.

Finally, a visit to Castel Presule / Schloss Prösels will have you discovering the history of the witch trials that took place here 500 years ago.  With a history that dates back to 1279, Castel Presule was opened to the public in 1982 and now offers guided tours. Inside you’ll find a museum with weapons, paintings and drawings.  Until recently, the castle was only open for viewing in spring/summer, but is now available to visit all year round.

Admission Costs: Adults 9 Euros & Children 6+ 5 Euros.  Free entry with Museumcard of Museummobile Card and for children under 6.

  • Opening hours: Summer: May 1 – October 31, Sunday to Friday. Guided visits available from 10am to 4pm.
  • Winter: December 27 – March 28, Thursdays only. Guided visits also available.
  • View guided visit time slots for summer and winter seasons here.

How to get there:  Catch bus 176 (Siusi – Fiè allo Sciliar) to the castle complex or enjoy a 2 hour walk from Fiè allo Sciliar via the hamlet Umes to Castel Presule.

Tiers am Rosengarten / Tiers al Catinaccio

The last of the villages is Tiers located at the foot of the famous Rosengarten / Gruppa del Catinaccio. The Rosengarten is a massif known for its pink glow at sunset (alpenglow).  It is famous in the folklore legends of King Laurin and his rose garden, used to explain the phenomenon of Alpenglow.

Because of it’s beautiful location in the Schlern – Rosengarten Nature Park, it is a stunning location for numerous hikes, climbs and mountain biking routes.

Paragliding

If you think the landscape is beautiful from the ground, imagine seeing it from the sky!  Paragliding in the Dolomites is perfect for experienced and new paragliders.  From the Spitzbühl launch site – known for its ideal conditions and thermal currents – fly close to the Sciliar solo or in tandem with an experienced paragliding pilot.  For those flying with an experienced pilot, all flying equipment will be provided.

  • Flight route: Launching off the Spitzbühl and gliding down to S. Valentino/St. Valentin – a small alpine village on Seiser Alm.

There are other flight paths all around this area, so be sure to check with your paragliding company to choose your preferred route.

How To Get There

Alpe di Siuis/Seiser Alm is an alpine plataeu located in the Sciliar-Catinaccio/Schlern-Rosengarten National Park in the South Tyrolean Dolomites in Italy.

GETTING TO THE DOLOMITES REGION – CLOSEST AIRPORTS

There is no direct flight to the Dolomites region, so the closest airports in Italy are Verona, Venice Marco Polo & Treviso and Milan.  In Austria, the closest airport is Innsbruck with Munich being the closest in Germany.  From here you can drive or take public transport to Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi.

Car

As you know, car is my preferred option for getting around when travelling, so I drove from Venice Marco Polo airport to the dolomites region.  It was a really easy drive, despite having to figure our how to pay for the toll roads on the route!  Going direct from Venice Marco Polo Airport is a 3.5 hour drive.

After my time in Seiser Alm, I planned to visit Lago di Braies.  The drive from Seiser Alm to Lago di Braies was approximately 1 hour and 45 mins and GoogleMaps took me through the little mountain roads, which were absolutely beautiful!! A gorgeous drive.

Train

Bolzano, the capital of South Tyrol, is located on one of the main European railway routes and has direct public transport to Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi.  This station can be easily reached from Munich (Germany) and Innsbruck (Austria) as well as from Verona, Rome, Venice and Milan in Italy.

Bus

From Bolzano, Bressanone and Chiusa stations you can find direct bus links to Seiser Alm & nearby villages.  Below I’ve included a map of the bus routes and a link to download the timetables for each route.

It is important to note that the transport system in this area is quite unique.  What I love about the Dolomites, is their focus on preserving the natural environment by offering a great public transport system.  While you may choose to take a car to the destination, once you’re in the area, public transport is a smarter and cheaper choice – especially Seiser Alm is car free between 9AM and 5PM.  Depending on when you’re visiting and the activities you plan on doing, Alpe di Siusi offers different types of passes:

Our TOP PlACES TO STAY

As access to Seiser Alm is car-free during the hours of 9am – 5pm, you want to ensure you’re staying somewhere where access to Compatsch (main village on Seiser Alm) is easy.  Ideally, you would want to stay in Seis (Siusi allo Sciliar) Castelrotto or Saltria where the direct cable car or buses to Compatsch / Compaccio are available.  Staying outside of these areas is fine too, but it will mean additional transfers may be required before you’re able to reach Alpe di Siusi.  See below for a list of recommended places they are listed from cheapest to most expensive:

  • Residence Antares – Located in Selva di Val Gardena, it is a 10 min drive to Ortisei, where bus connections are available to Alpe di Siusi.
  • Appartmenthotel Residence Elvis – Located in Ortisei where bus connections to Alpe di Siusi are available.
  • Villa Rier – Located just outside Seis.  To get to town centre and Alpe di Siusi cable car, it is a 4 minute drive or 20 minute walk.
