Why Ortisei matters
Ortisei is a charming alpine village where the Ladin culture, wood carving and German-Italian mix create a very different Italy. Cable cars lift you straight to Seceda's dramatic ridges and Alpe di Siusi's vast meadows, so you can enjoy big mountain scenery without hard climbs. In winter it is a major ski area. Locals speak Ladin, German and Italian, and the food mixes Tyrolean and Italian flavours.
Talking points
- The village has a long woodcarving tradition.
- Cable cars reach Seceda and Alpe di Siusi in minutes.
- Many locals speak Ladin, German and Italian.
- The Dolomites are a UNESCO World Heritage region.
