The city
Ortisei, St. Ulrich in German and Urtijëi in Ladin, is the main village of Val Gardena, at 1,236 meters altitude. From the center cable cars go up to Seceda, with views of the Odle ridge, and to the Alpe di Siusi, the largest high-altitude pasture plateau in Europe. The Sassolungo closes the end of the valley, and the Museum Gherdëina tells the story of woodcarving and Ladin culture.
