In the summer, Val Gardena transforms into an idyllic paradise with amazing panoramic landscapes and quiet retreats. Green fields, lots of animals including horses, cows, deer, eagles and squirrels and fresh air: this is how you can describe Val Gardena in the summer. The wide range of sports that you can practice in the summer has made Val Gardena an increasingly popular summer destination as well. The Dolomites Hero is one of the highlights of the summer, as it draws over 4.000 mountainbikers from world class to amateur level to race in the hardest race in Europe.
