Holidays in St. Ulrich

In the heart of the Dolomites

The beautiful scenery of Gröden Valley convinces everybody to go outside and to discover the Dolomites. Breath-taking panoramic views, Alpine trails, fixed-rope routes and mountain bike tours for all tastes and with any degree of difficulty are waiting for you.

In fact, it is not just any Alpine landscape that surrounds St. Ulrich. It is one of the most beautiful mountain ranges of the earth, the Dolomites, making the village and the entire valley a popular holiday destination since the 19th century.

However, St. Ulrich is not only known for the dreamlike landscape and the unlimited offer of leisure activities, but also for its woodcarving art, with a very long tradition and international reputation. In addition to religious and modern sculptures, the cribs of St. Ulrich are a popular souvenir.
