The Dolomites in Val Gardena deserve to be admired in their every single side, at all times of the day: they are able to astonish each time as the first, always showing spectacular.

You will notice by observing them at dawn, in the morning, during the afternoon, at sunset, in the evening and at night, they’ll show themselves to you in a different way, making you fall in love once again with their beauty.

To see these enchanting mountains once is not enough: as the light changes, they change too, surprising the observers once again, as something that can never be fully known.

Exploring Val Gardena, practicing the countless activities it offers, you will always see new landscapes, unexplored places, peaks that are differently depending on the light.

Have you ever lived an experience in the Dolomites at night?

If you love the mountains and you love winter sports, you can not miss the opportunity to practice them at night in Val Gardena, discovering a new side of the Dolomites.

Here are some night activities proposals to experience unforgettable experiences and adventures that will make your winter holidays in Val Gardena even more special.

The keywords? Dolomites, night, winter, snow, sports.

1. Fat-bike snow tour at night

For mtb lovers here is the unique opportunity to experience a winter ride on the snow, discovering Monte Pana and Alpe di Siusi.

Have you ever thought about riding on the snow?

In Val Gardena this is possible thanks to the e-fat-bikes, electric bicycles with wide tires that are perfect for snow tours.

The bike-tour on the snow starts from S. Cristina at 17.00 (where you can rent your own fat-bike): an expert cycling guide will guide you through trails to discover Val Gardena and the Dolomites in the moonlight.

The experience ends up with a traditional dinner in a mountain hut.

Event organized by Ski Adolf Rental every Monday:

  • Meeting point: 5.00 pm (December and January) / 5.30 pm (February and March)
  • Price: € 30 – € 15 for VGA partner S. Cristina
  • E-fat-bike rental included in the price
  • Dinner is not included in the price

The fatbike is a great winter alternative for an outdoor activity exploring the mountains in contact with nature.

2. Cross-country skiing in the moonlight

An activity not to be missed in the mountains is the night cross-country skiing, enjoying silence and nature.

You can live this experience in Val Gardena during two full moon evenings on 22.01.2019 and 19.02.2019 from 20:00 to 22:00, thanks to the initiative of the Monte Pana fund center in S. Cristina.

3. Evening snowshoeing with dinner at the hut

Night excursions with snowshoes are a classic in the mountains and certainly can not be missed in Val Gardena.

It’s a perfect opportunity to practice a winter activity in the Dolomites suitable for everyone, discovering and exploring the beautiful area under a different light: that one of the moon.
