1.5 – 16.8KM & 100 – 1,275m of elevation gain

This dramatic ridgeline is easily accessible, with a ton of space to spread out once you reach the top. The sunset here is especially delightful, but you will have great views at any time of the day.

The easiest and fastest way to get to Seceda Ridge is to take the Ortisei-Furnes-Seceda Gondola from Ortisei in Val Gardena. A ticket for this gondola will cost €27.50 one-way or €38 roundtrip per person(2024). From the top station, it’s only about a 10-minute walk to the ridge. Once you arrive, you can follow different trails as you admire the jagged rock formations in front of you. There is even a restaurant and a playground at the top.

If you choose to forgo the cable car, it will be 8.4 kilometres each way with a whopping 1,275 meters of elevation gain. Because the cable car is only open from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM, some travellers buy a one-way ticket to the top, stay for sunset, and then hike down. For this option, bring a headlamp and hiking poles!
