Unbelievable: here we are in this hotel in the centre of St. Ulrich/Ortisei with its beautiful rooms and suites, sun-kissed pool, large garden and fabulous wellness centre, and there's nobody there! "Actually, yes, from 11am to 4pm at least," chuckles the landlord Georg, and explains, "Our guests love being outdoors and it's also understandable here in Val Gardena, between Sassolungo and Seceda. After breakfast they go out, explore our mountains by bike, on foot and on the lifts. And they return in the afternoon, with mountains of excitement in their hearts."

Passionate mountain bikers take advantage of Georg's knowledge of places and tours, as well as the fruitful collaboration with the Ortisei Bike School, definitely the best reference for guided tours in Val Gardena with excellent bike hire and a well-stocked shop directly at the Seceda valley station.
