Latest Ortisei hotel reviews
mikelisaanna Says: The Dolomites are one of the most scenic areas of the Alps, and are therefore very popular with hikers. There is a wide variety of hikes available in the Dolomites, ranging from very easy to very strenuous. Almost all of them provide you with great views to go with your...
balhannah Says: From the time we left Ortisei [St. Ulrich], the scenery became prettier, for now we had a background of the mighty Dolomite Mountains. We passed by some small villages, still lots with wood carvings.Alpine Houses painted white, looked a picture against the stunning scenery,...

balhannah Says: This was a lovely drive we did, that passed through many quaint and interesting Village's.Driving through the valley, we saw many Castle's and Fort's siiting on high knob's above the River, and with the Mountain's behind as a back-drop, made this a very nice sight!There were...

balhannah Says: This would have to be one of the best place's I have been for Souvenir shop's.Walking along Rezia street, there were so many of them, and they were so good, not a lot of trashy junk for sale, and the choice was big.Wooden souvenir's covered a big area in the shop's, but...
balhannah Says: I found this Roman Soldier as I walked along Rezia street. Amazingly, it is all made of sculptered wood, it certainly doesn't look like it!Who-ever the Sculptor was, has done a marvellous job!
balhannah Says: The Baroque Ortisei Parish Church dates back to the 18th century {1793-1796]. I was able to enter this Church and thought it quite nice with its numerous paintings, their were ceiling frescoes and statues, one of them the huge statue of St. Ulrich.The Altar painting is of...
balhannah Says: St. Anthony's Chapel is the Church with the onion dome in the main square of Ortisei. It is also the Church that you will most probably have as background in your photo's.This lovely little Chapel was built in 1673, and I thought it was rather pretty with it's turret.Inside...
balhannah Says: We departed Ortisei, and started following the road through the Gardena Valley to the Dolomite's.I found tradition was well and truly alive and kicking in this Valley! It was in the 17th century, the artistic craft of wood carving began here, mainly for a secondary income...

Can't Remember the Name: Lunch with a View
mikelisaanna Says: There is a restaurant just below the station at the top of the gondola lift at the top of the mountain. Unfortunately, I can't remeber its name, but I definitely remember the view. The menu featured typical Tyrolean food. We had some schnitzel, speck (dried prosciutto), and...
Mauritz Keller: Nightlife in Ortisei
Mildute Says: It's a pity, but our group of people had to admit that there was the only place to dance in the Ortisei at night time.. The music - mostly older style (80's), other pop-style music.. People said to us that in Santa Cristina was better disco.. unfortunately we could not check...
Mildute Says: Skiers visiting Ortisey can freely move in the Ortisey and from/to neighbouring towns (Selva Gardena, Santa Cristina) with ski-bus...
mikelisaanna Says: Ladin is an ancient language that has survived in Ortisei and the surrounding Val Gardena since medieval times. Ladin is a latin-based language, but is distinct from Italian. It is actually more closely related to Romansch, a minority language of Switzerland. Signs in...
balhannah Says: As we entered Ortisei from Ponte Gardena, I noticed wood-carving's, what I didn't know, was this is a big Wood Carver's area in Italy.We pulled up by the shop in my photo, "Holzschnitzereien Goller A", you can't miss it as it's on the right hand side if you are coming in the...
KUNSTHANDWERK ARTIGIANATO TIROLESE
balhannah Says: This was another Wood Carving Shop we came across just a little further along the main road.I went inside, and the wood carver was busily working on one of his piece's. He spoke a little English and was friendly, so we had a chat. I was allowed to wander around his shop, and...
Best hut food on the mountain - Gostner Schwaige
FRONA Says: When skiing on Alpe di Siusi we took an unmarked turn off near one of the lifts and ended in a small but cosy mountain hut on our first ski day. It was rather empty at the time and we enjoyed the warmth trying out local schnapses. Then we found out from one of the ski guides...
