1 Selva The Dolomites 2017

2 Welcome to Selva The Val Gardena or Grödental, as it is called in German, lies at the heart of the Ladin region in the South Tyrol. The Dolomitic scenery in this area is unique, with its sheer limestone cliffs towering above green valleys. The local culture is still strongly influenced by the Ladin traditions; the majority of the local population are of Ladin descent, and you may hear this old local language spoken. Today the Val Gardena is popular with tourists. Until the First World War the South Tyrol region was part of Austria and the area still retains strong Tyrolean influences; most locals speak German and towns and villages often have German, Ladin and Italian names. During the war the Dolomites formed the frontline between Italy and Austria. The legacy of this fighting are the Via Ferrata or iron ways, a network of ladders and fixed cables built to allow access to strategic positions. 2 Following Austria s defeat the whole region was transferred to Italy as part of the postwar peace settlements. The combination of Dolomitic limestone and volcanic soils leads to a wide diversity of flowers and plants, which colonise whole mountain slopes. The most common anima seen on the walks is the marmot. Meadows offer a wide variety of song birds, and nutcrackers can frequently be seen. Val Gardena is probably best known as a ski resort and the area regularly hosts World Cup downhill skiing events. In the summer the extensive network of gondolas and chairlifts allows everyone to enjoy walks in the high meadows and mountains. There are numerous excellent walks available close to Selva with the majority of our routes in the mountains and high meadows that surround the valley. There are three main villages in the Val Gardena: Ortisei, St Cristina and Selva, which can all be visited during your holiday. Of these, Ortisei is the largest and has a museum and art galleries as well as many cafes and shops. Reservations - local rate (standard rate )

4 Holiday itinerary A unique feature of our Guided Walking holidays is the daily choice of walks. Each evening your leaders will give a short talk about the options for the next day and answer any questions that you may have. In Selva you ll have a choice of two guided walks on each walking day. Easier Walks: 5 to 10 miles (8-16km) generally on good paths which can be rough or steep. Up to 1,500ft (450m) of ascent in a day. Harder Walks: 5 to 12 miles (8-19km) crossing mountainous terrain with steep gradients. Up to 3,300ft (990m) of ascent in a day. High Routes: 8 to 13 miles (13-21km) with some rough, exposed scrambly passages, scree sections and steep descents. Up to 4,500ft (1,350m) of ascent in a day. Please note that the itinerary outlined below is provisional and could be subject to change. For the most up to date information, please check our website. A finalised itinerary will be available at the resort and your leaders will talk every evening about the next day s walks. In Selva, we operate alternating itineraries to ensure variation for guests booking a 2-week break. Snow conditions and inclement weather may prevent access to some walks, particularly in June and late September. In addition, at these times, there is a reduced transport and lift service. With safety the overriding concern, your leaders may vary the walks or modify the programme in this leaflet. However, there are always walks that can be enjoyed and you will find compensation in the views of snow-clad mountains and the Alpine flora, even when it is not possible to carry out some of our walks at a high level. Your leaders will choose the best selection of walks available in the prevailing conditions and give you detailed information; a finalised itinerary will be available on arrival in the resort.

Harder Walk: This is a strenuous walk along the U-shaped Vallunga, and then up to the plateau above.

Fortunately, the paths, although often steep, are well engineered. 11 miles (17.5km) with 3,200ft (960m) of ascent. Day 5: Free day Each week there is a free day when no guided walks are offered.

There are frequently long queues to enter the museum, but our previous guests have highly recommended a visit. Ortisei Ortisei is the largest of the villages in the Gardena Valley and is easily reached by bus. Here you could wander around the historic centre and perhaps enjoy lunch in one of the pavement cafés. It is also the starting point for a number of lifts which will take you high into the mountains, perhaps exploring an area not visited during your walks. Bressanone Bressanone is another interesting historic town with arcaded streets. The Duomo in the main square dates from the 13th century and its 14th century cloisters are decorated with medieval frescoes. The nearby Bishop s Palace now houses the Diocesan Museum.

Harder Walk: This is a more energetic and higher exploration of the meadows on the north side of the Val Gardena which still gives opportunities to stride through meadows, visit a mountain hut enjoying great views. 9 miles (14.5km) with 2,300ft (690m) of ascent. Day 3:The Alpe de Siusi or Monte Pic summit Easier Walk: The Alpe de Siusi is a massive high meadow with extensive views and fantastic flowers, particularly in spring and summer.

Day 4: Sassolungo and Sasso Platto: Beneath or around them Easier Walk: At the top of the mighty Ciampinoi lift, we can survey virtually all of the Val Gardena and beyond.

Harder walk: At the top of the funicular railway the walk heads through the meadows to a steep, rocky, wellengineered pass through to the high meadows above Seceda and a walk back to the hotel. 10 miles (16km) with 2,000ft (600m) of ascent and 3,700ft (1,110m) of descent. Day 7: Vallunga, Sas Ciampac and the Puez Hut Easier Walk: This is a perennial favourite with guests as it visits the delightful Vallunga (a long glacial valley) which is part of the local Natural Park. It starts with the Way of the Cross and its interesting wood carvings, and ends with a tiny chapel adorned with antique frescoes. In between, the walk can be varied to extend or shorten it. 9 miles (14.5km) with 1,500ft (450m) of ascent. Harder Walk: Our walk takes us to a lonely but spectacular summit, Sas Ciampac, which is off the beaten track and has amazing views.

Day 8: Departure day or free day for guests staying 14 nights. 8 Reservations - local rate (standard rate )

9 High Routes Our High Routes holidays offer challenging high level walks. We aim to reach the summits and ridges that are usually out of reach on our Guided Walking holidays; these may be exposed or have sections of fixed ropes or ladders. Whilst a high level of fitness and stamina are required, the rewards will be bird s eye mountain panoramas and an immense sense of achievement. These High Routes holidays run alongside a regular Guided Walking week, and the walks are only available to those who have specifically booked a High Routes holiday, however High Routers are free to choose one of these regular walks if you prefer something a little easier, if group size allows. On this holiday you may enjoy some of the following walks: Sasso Piatto Starting from Passo Sella, the walk then takes the Friedrich August Weg traversing path high up on the south side of Sassolungo before striking up the amazing flat plate ramp to Sasso Piatto summit, with a short exposed scramble at the end. Piz Duleda This striking 2900m high mountain, which affords incredible views, can be approached in a number of ways, all including high, remote passes. Puez Spitze High above the remote Puez Hut this peak is usually approached by crossing the extensive limestone plateau area to it s south and east. The Sella Group and Piz Boe This huge fortress massif, bounded by four road passes, appears to be reserved for mountaineers. However, several valleys slice deep into the block so competent walkers with a good head for heights can reach its high level plateau, using the extensive ladders, ropes and rungs to help us on our way. The plateau is barren, often with stretches of snow to negotiate. If you are lucky you may spot shy herds of chamois. Our route traverses the entire Sella Group taking in Piz Boe its highest summit complete with café on the summit. In the evenings The friendly atmosphere of our Guided Walking holidays continues into the evening. We ll enjoy a leisurely meal and then you may also like to join your leader for an evening stroll, listen to local musicians, relax with a book in a quiet lounge or enjoy a drink at the bar with your fellow walkers talking about your day.

12 Walking information Your walking leaders: HF Holidays leaders are a pivotal feature of our Guided Walking holidays. During the day they will guide you on the walks in a caring and considerate way, showing you places of interest en route. All our leaders have been selected on an intensive residential course so you can relax and enjoy your holiday knowing that you are in safe hands. Our leaders welcome your comments on the holiday survey; constructive suggestions for things that they might do differently are very helpful. We take pride in the quality of our holidays and work closely with all our providers to ensure our holidays meet your expectations. If for any reason you are not satisfied with any element of your holiday, our leaders are the best people to help. Local interest guides: In some of our resorts we may employ the services of a local interest guide who will accompany you on a walk to enrich and enhance your enjoyment of the area by giving you an insight into its history and culture. Tips for local interest guides have not been included in the price of your holiday. This is at your own discretion and we invite you to do this directly with the local guide. Maps: Your leaders will of course carry all the maps and detailed walk instructions needed for the walks. The maps available for this area are Tabacco series Val Gardena/Gröden Alpe de Siusi/Seiseralm (05) 1:25,000 (which covers most walks), and Alta Badia/Hochabtei Livinallongo (07) 1:25,000 (used for a couple of walks in the Corvara area).

13 Walking safely We are committed to running our Guided Walking holidays in a safe manner and your co-operation with this is much appreciated. No outdoor activity can be 100% risk free; however, if you take sensible precautions and adhere to your leaders instructions, your holiday will be both safe and enjoyable. On the first evening of your holiday (dependent on arrival time), the leaders will give a short talk about safety on the walks we would ask everyone to attend. Walking as a group: Our leaders always consider the safety of the group as a whole, and will show more caution over potential risks (such as bad or exceptionally hot weather) than an individual or couple might make on a private outing. Walks may be modified or cancelled following the leaders assessment of the day-to-day situation. Your leaders will refuse to accept any guest whose clothing, equipment, behaviour or walking ability is considered unsuitable, and where it could affect the safety and enjoyment of other guests on the proposed walk. It is your responsibility to follow the leader s guidelines, for the benefit and safety of the group as a whole. If you leave the group, then your leader will no longer have responsibility for you. For safety reasons, we stipulate a minimum party size of two guests in addition to the leader. First aid: In line with current practice, each leader carries a group first aid kit but is not able to supply any medication, including aspirin, paracetamol, antihistamines and antiseptic cream. Your health: It is essential that you describe on your guest registration form any health condition or disability you may have. The leaders will treat this confidentially and may be able to take it into account on the walks; for example, by not delaying lunch if they know they have someone with diabetes in their party. EU citizens should ensure they have a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) prior to their holiday. There can be problems with medical authorities and insurance companies if you cannot produce this when you require treatment details are available at www. dh.gov.uk/travellers EHIC cards have an expiry date please check yours is valid before you travel Hydration: In warm weather it is very important to keep hydrated. You will need to carry a minimum of two litres of water with you on walks, more during hot weather or on more demanding walks. One good way of hydrating is to use a two litre hydration pack which allows drinking without constant stopping. This can then be filled up from additional water sources as required. Your leader will inform you of the possibilities for replenishing your water during the walks. Insurance: Insurance is a condition of booking. Therefore if you have not already arranged insurance, it is imperative that you do so, and advise us of the insurance company and policy number. We have negotiated special holiday insurance and full details of this cover can be found in our brochure or at hfholidays.co.uk. There is no extra charge for pre-existing illnesses. If you would like to purchase insurance from us please call us on or holidayservices@hfholidays.co.uk. Even with an EHIC card, medicines and out-patient treatment normally have to be paid for at the time and the costs reclaimed afterwards details are available at dh.gov.uk/travellers. Therefore insurance is extremely important, as is access to emergency money, preferably a credit card. Money: Access to emergency money, preferably via a credit card, is very important as you never know when an emergency may arise. To book online visit 13

14 What to wear and bring To enjoy your walking comfortably and safely, it is essential that your footwear, clothing and equipment are suitable for the conditions likely to be encountered. Changeable weather is possible throughout the year, so our advice is to come prepared for all eventualities.

You will need: comfortable outdoor clothing waterproof jacket and overtrousers ankle supporting footwear with non-slip soles small rucksack water bottle (at least 2 litres, more for hot climates) and a thermos flask if you wish sunhat, sun cream and sunglasses In addition to the above, the following are recommended to all walkers, and are essential for mountainous and hilly areas: walking boots spare pullover or fleece hat and gloves spare high-energy food e.g. chocolate bar or Kendal mint cake torch You may also wish to consider bringing: walking pole(s) many guests find these useful, particularly for descents camera personal first aid kit Footwear: We recommend wearing walking boots on all our walks, as these provide the best ankle support and grip. Modern approach shoes offer appropriate levels of grip and may be worn on some low level walks, but users should be aware that they offer less ankle support. Lightweight trainers, denim jeans and waterproof capes are not recommended for any walks. Holiday tips Language: Although in Italy, German is generally spoken here.
