Vallunga — Attraction in Salten-Schlern - Salto-Sciliar

Vallunga (Langental) is a long, glacial valley tucked behind Selva di Val Gardena, serving as a serene gateway into the Puez–Odle Nature Park. A mostly level path traces grassy meadows and a gentle stream beneath towering limestone walls, making it perfect for families, casual walkers, and trail runners alike. As you progress, the scenery shifts from larch and pine forest to wider alpine pastures, with optional side trails that climb toward the Puez plateau for sweeping views. Summer brings wildflowers and cool shade; autumn lights the valley with golden larches; and in winter it transforms into a tranquil route for cross‑country skiing and snowshoeing. Photographers will appreciate the clean lines, scale, and soft evening light, while the easy access from Selva keeps planning simple. Vallunga delivers restorative Dolomite beauty...

Hike Review – 17 May 2025

This was a lovely and easy hike, perfect for a relaxed day out. The drive to the trailhead was smooth, with a fully sealed road all the way to the carpark. Parking was free today (not tourist season yet), though it’s usually €8 per day.

The trail was quiet with very few other hikers, and there was no snow on the path. The walk itself was easy, with just a mild incline at the beginning. At the end of the AllTrails-marked track, you can continue for another 200–300 meters to reach a stunning open valley with beautiful views of Col Turond. The trail extends further if you’re up for a longer hike, but this valley is a great spot to turn back.

On the return, take a slight right to complete the loop. Took us less than 2...

Amazing location in Dolomites to go with your kids or otherwise. Breathtaking views all around. You can easily spend half a day to full day here hiking in the beautiful landscape. First location to go to if you’re in Selva Di Val Gardena.

For people with kids: A nice picnic spot for kids to wine down and play in nature. Carry extra slippers/flip flops and clothes, if they like to play in water during a warm day.

Make sure you reach before 9:30 or 10 AM else closest parking gets full. If this parking is full then other one is...
