Hi! Just another gorgeous video and an interesting hut contest! My wife and I always come skiing on these mountains in winter. Sophie Huette in Winter is one of our favourites, but to be honest, Alpe di Siusi (Seiserhalm) is a bit too flat for alpine skiers and is certainly very charming and appealing in summertime with its beautiful meadows! So, no really fair competition for sure! Many thanks for sharing!
Wow, in winter Val Gardena must be spectacular! I think I would be doing a lot of face-plants, with all my attention on the scenery. Thank you for watching, your encouragement, and sharing your experience!
Haha, no breath left for singing! It's even better than it looks in the video, so hard to capture how immense the meadows and mountains are. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching! Please check before you go, or for winter hours.The last three summers the road was closed between 9 and 5 for the general public cars going up the mountain. You may come down the mountain in a car at any time. There are two cable cars that also bring visitors to the meadows during the day. Enjoy your trip!
Beautiful videos of a lovely place. We visited some of these same places a couple of years ago, took many pics and videos but some got deleted by mistake.. wanted to request if I may use a few secs bits of your scenery footage from this video for my Dolomites trip montage? Thank you so much in advance..
So happy to hear this brought back good memories! Thank you for watching. We're sorry to hear your photography got deleted! If you're creating something private for you and your immediate family, of course you can use a few seconds of scenery to fill in what you lost. If you're pulling together your own TH-cam travel, other video/vlog, or photography to post publicly we ask you not to use our footage. Do you think you'll go back to the Dolomites?
Thank you for watching. This was late July. The perfect time varies from year to year depending on the winter snow levels and weather. Have a great trip!
Thank you for watching! There is a bus system, but we found a car helpful. The weather can turn quickly in the mountains. And the cable cars have limited hours. Have a great trip to the Dolomites!
Thank you very much for the video. We are planning to fly over End of May - I hope the huts are open. Which hike did you prefer and how long are the hikes all together? Troier Hut, Sofie hut and then back down with the Gondola from which you started? Or did you like the Seiser Alm better? By the way, which one of you speaks German? Thank you for you hiking descriptions. Best regards from SoCal. -- Cheers.
Have a great time on your trip to the Dolomites! We always go to both Seceda (steep, dramatic views) and Seiser Alm (majestic, open space) as they are pretty different. And we spend a whole day on each. You can check the webcams to help decide what looks most promising in May, as the snow conditions over the winter will influence the start of spring and summer in the Alps. Most of the huts have a website or there are very good tourist offices in Ortisei and Selva if you need help with opening hours and suggestions. Before going to the Seiser Alm, if by car, please check the opening hours of the road in the upward direction is closed by mid-morning and only open again in the early evening. Going down by car there are no restrictions.
Thank you for watching! The first UNESCO lookout where the people were singing is a short hike from the Col Riser cable car. Take it all the way to the end station. Have a great trip!
@@happygoluckytravel Great to hear from you! Thank you for your response, it was much appreciated. We're planning a trip to the Dolomites in September, and stumbled across your amazing video which showed us so much we didn't know before. We're not quite sure how to navigate the trail and find the alpine huts from A to Z. Much appreciated. Thanks again! 💐💞🙏
Have a wonderful trip! All the huts are detailed in the description/details section of the video if you click MORE at the title. To navigate the trails, stop at the tourist office at any of the villages in Val Gardena and they will give you a free hiking map and any advice you need. You can also ask them the opening hours of the huts as these can change depending on the season. Enjoy your time!
Thank you for watching! Our Mountain Huts: Malga Troier, Sofie Hutte, Gostner Schwaige, Baita Tuene, Rauch Hutte. You can find more details about what we ate in the details/description of the video. All the best!
Depends on your kids -- we did see many families on the trails. Seiser Alm is easier, especially if you take the Panorama chairlift up from Compatch, then the walking is mostly across and down the meadow. Gostner, Tuene and Rauch huts are on the Seiser Alm. For the Seceda area, you can take the Aerial tram from Ortisei to the top of the mountain and walk down to Troier or Sofie. Then you can keep walking down to the Col Riser gondola, ride to the bottom, and bus back to Ortisei. The route we took in the video starting at the top of the Col Riser gondola, going up to the huts was the same as 100 flights of stairs.
Puoi andare in qualsiasi rifugio, si mangia bene e fanno le stesse pietanze. Rari sono i rifugi dove fanno delle specialità e sono conosciuti dagli italiani che sanno apprezzarle.
Thank you for watching, this was mostly filmed in late July. The alpine summer season is very short, from June to end of August. Before June, many of the services haven't started yet. All the best!
Very enjoyable to watch! Love the scenery.
We love it too, thank you!
Also best ski, people and economy!

Great video and info.
Thank you 💐💞🤟
Glad it was helpful!
the 45550 viewer here go lucky good Luck trips❤🎉
Looks so amazing. I’ve been there skiing.
Why was it surprising that the ravioli was good?
It must be stunning in winter, covered in snow!
No need to rank them as far as I’m concerned… they all are amazing !
That's true! Though the hunt was delicious and fun! Thank you for watching!
Absolutely stunning! Looking forward to making a visit to this area. How many times did you sing the "Sound of Music" song while there?
Haha, no breath left for singing! It's even better than it looks in the video, so hard to capture how immense the meadows and mountains are. Thanks for watching!
interesting tid bit at 7:45 in your video about the road closing @ 9am. do you now from your expereince is this common there?

Thank you for this video! Would you mind sharing what time of year you visited?
Thank you for watching! This was end of July.
Thanks for the sharing, i am going to there in summer. May i know which month of the year did you visit there?
Thank you for watching. This was late July. The perfect time varies from year to year depending on the winter snow levels and weather. Have a great trip!
Found your video yesterday and loved it !! Can you tell me if a car is required to best see this area ? Grazie
Thank you for watching! There is a bus system, but we found a car helpful. The weather can turn quickly in the mountains. And the cable cars have limited hours. Have a great trip to the Dolomites!
@@happygoluckytravel Thanks ! We are heading for Galicia in a couple of weeks so are hoping to fit in the Dolomites late in the summer/fall. Cheers !
Have a great time in Galicia! Let us know what you think of it! A place we've always had on our list.
What month was this? ❤
Thank you for watching! This was filmed in late July/early August. Enjoy your trip!
