THE SELLARUNDE TOUR

The Sellagruppe is world famous. In the winter you can ski around it, and in the summer you can go by bike or by motorbike. There are 6 Alpine passes that are less than 100 km – that means many curves, lofty heights and idyllic landscapes. There are five Ladin valleys surrounding the Sellagruppe. Ladin is an ancient Roman language which is still spoken today by a small section of the population in South Tyrol and Italy. The Ladin culture has its own characteristics. As a consequence the Ladin valleys are remarkable and worth visiting.
