- Walking into the Funes Valley on a peaceful night. That night we stayed in a modern wooden cabin. The landlord had light-colored hair and eyes, wearing a fleece jacket. For travelers like us who only stayed one night and arrived late at night, he spread out a map and patiently introduced hiking routes. The guidebook marked every peak of the Odle Group and drew numbered trails. I casually asked if he had been on all of them, and he nodded lightly: “Oh, this is where I work.” It turned out he had once gone to Guangzhou in his early years, making a living by playing traditional Alpine accordion music. I don’t know what attracted him back—or brought him here—to become a forest ranger. The next morning, we strolled along the winding mountain road. The air was crisp, the view vast, with only the sound of streams and cowbells in our ears. We occasionally stepped aside for passing RVs and mountain bikes, soon climbing up to the church on the hillside. The church was empty and quiet, all the pews waiting silently like tombstones in the church garden. This was a resting place with an excellent view. Many black-and-white photos were quite old, with only one in color—a gentle-smiling elderly man who passed away last year, with the mountains he knew all his life behind him. They say Funes is just an ordinary valley at the foot of the Alps. Yet some people spend most of their lives in such an “ordinary” place, patrolling the mountains, working, herding, until they rest. A kind of resolute way of being that requires no escape. Standing in the church garden, gazing at the quietly lying Funes Valley in the distance, the statue of the suffering Jesus is a weather vane, guiding the way for all passersby. Dolomiti was once a distant word; now I am here, and it still feels somewhat far away.

It’s not allowed for anyone to have never been to the Dolomites; the Dolomites are perfect for a short three-day, two-night trip! Every day, wandering through the snowy mountains, ski resorts, hot springs, and Christmas villages in the Dolomites feels like a winter adventure. Day ｜ Funes Valley + Onion Church Funes Valley The snow is stunningly beautiful, and the crisp sound of stepping on the snow is delightful. After taking photos and when your hands get cold, head to the coffee shop at the foot of the mountain for hot chocolate—it warms your whole body with just one sip. Onion Church Quietly standing in the snow, every casual pose for a photo looks like a postcard. This year, you can get the same romantic travel photos as your wife. You can also rent a sled at the sled return point and slide down the mountain. If there’s no sled return point, you can rent one inside the Treffpunkt Zans restaurant. Super fun! Day ｜ Skiing at Hues Mountain / Climbing Blade Mountain Skiing at Hues Mountain lets you experience the thrill and fun of the slopes. There are suitable slopes for both beginners and ski enthusiasts. Beginners will have a perfect experience. You can rent ski equipment and book instructors on-site. ⚠️ You need to bring your own goggles and ski gloves. If you don’t like skiing, you can try other exciting snow activities: Horse-drawn sleigh: Ride a sleigh through the forest for about 1 hour. Each sleigh holds up to 5 people, costing 75 euros per sleigh. Alpine paragliding: Overlook the snowy mountains with a heart-pounding view, about 200 euros per person per flight. If you don’t participate in skiing, you can climb Blade Mountain! After getting off the cable car, it’s about a 10-minute walk to the Jesus statue. Be sure to wear shoes with good grip because it’s an uphill path. After skiing, head to the Odyssey town, where Christmas lights, the aroma of roasted ribs, and red wine fill the streets. The winter night is warm and happy! There are also many exquisite wooden handicrafts and fridge magnets to choose from. Day ｜ QC Terme Spa and Carezza Lake QC Terme Dolomiti Spa A super beautiful snowy mountain hot spring with both indoor and outdoor baths. Soaking in the warm spring water while looking at the snowy mountains is amazing. Upstairs, there are different themed lounges to relax in. Carezza Lake Take a walk around the lake as the last stop. After soaking in the hot springs, walking around the lake is truly perfect. If you haven’t planned your Christmas winter activities yet this year, you must visit the Dolomites to experience winter! Highly recommended!

When I arrived at the Locatelli Hut, the return point of the Tre Cime trekking course, I felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. The journey had been challenging, but the moment I saw the massive peaks of the Dolomites spread out before the hut, all my fatigue vanished. The hut was bustling with trekkers, but everyone seemed relaxed and enjoying their break. A cold beer here was simply the best, instantly washing away the exhaustion of the hike. The menu offered a variety of meals and desserts, making it a great spot to enjoy a warm soup or pasta while taking a break. Behind the hut, there was a small but beautiful lake, and sitting by the lakeside with a beer in hand, taking in the scenery, was truly delightful. Locatelli Hut, embraced by the crisp air of the highlands, was the perfect reward and resting place after a trek. If you visit Tre Cime, I highly recommend walking all the way to this spot. 📍Note Please note that only cash is accepted here, so make sure to bring some with you. ✔️Tip You can bring snacks or meals like instant noodles to enjoy outside.

🇮🇹 High above the Val Gardena valley in Italy, Seceda is less a ski run and more a breathtaking natural wonder. It’s a vast, sun-drenched alpine pasture that dramatically drops off into the jagged, iconic peaks of the Odle/Geisler Group. Skiing here feels like you're floating on the roof of the Dolomites, with views so vast they almost don't seem real. ✨ The atmosphere is one of pure awe. Unlike the enclosed bowls of some resorts, Seceda is wide open, offering endless panoramas that stretch across the Italian and Austrian Alps. It’s a place of brilliant sunshine (it's south-facing!) and cruisy, wide slopes that invite you to carve long, easy turns while you soak in the scenery. ⛷️ The signature experience is the legendary "La Longia." This incredible 10km run is one of the longest in the Dolomites, taking you from the 2,500m summit all the way down to the charming village of Ortisei. It’s a magical descent that transitions from high-alpine rock faces, past frozen waterfalls and through quiet forests, ending in a picturesque valley. It’s a journey, not just a ski run. ✅ Unmissable Experiences in Seceda: Ride the two-stage gondola and cable car from Ortisei right to the summit. Step out and walk a few metres to the famous cross viewpoint for that photo of the razor-sharp Odle peaks. Ski the "La Longia" run from top to bottom, one of the most scenic and rewarding descents in the Alps. Use Seceda as your launchpad to join the Sellaronda, the legendary 40km ski circuit that connects four different valleys around the Sella massif. 💡 Pro Tip: Make sure to go on a clear, sunny day. The main reason to ski Seceda is the view, which can be completely obscured by clouds. It can be very exposed and windy at the top, so an extra layer is always a good idea, even if it's sunny down in the valley. 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: For the perfect location to access this area, stay at the Adler Spa Resort Dolomiti in Ortisei. It's a luxurious wellness-focused hotel just a short walk from the main Seceda gondola, allowing you to be one of the first on the slopes. You can book your stay via Trip.com. #Travel2GetAhead #adventuremoments #italytrip #skitrip #trip #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #beautifuldestinations #cityscape #ValGardena #Seceda #Dolomites #DolomitiSuperski #SkiItaly #Sellaronda #SouthTyrol #Skiing #Ortisei #europetrip #wintertrip #adventuretrip #skitripgoals #mountainstrip #alpsroadtrip #epicskitrip #dreamtrip #holidaytrip #italybytrip #hellohalloween
