Summer holiday in Val Pusteria – cycling, mtb & hiking in Val Casies

One valley. Endless possibilities.

You’ve probably guessed it already: a summer holiday in Val Casies is anything but boring. Between the main Alpine chain and the Dolomites, there is plenty to experience in Val Pusteria … and we don’t just mean the Tre Cime, Lago di Braies & Co They are worth seeing, but a little mainstream. Definitely not mainstream, however, are the hotspots Sepp will show you. #staytuned

As far as your feet can carry you

A hiking paradise straight out of a picture book. Views that seem almost surreal, managed alpine huts, and a trail network that will leave you amazed. During your mountain stay at La Casies, you’ll discover places you’ll never want to leave … but we’re sure your next holiday in Val Casies is already waiting.
