The Dolomites: UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site

Gudon in the Dolomites

South Tyrol holidays are always related to hiking. „Hiking has become a cool sport, it is no longer considered a boring activity, but attracts an exigent audience”, says Ulrich Pramann, chief editor of “Nature Fitness” magazine. We, the people from Gudon, fully agree with him. From your accomodation in Gudon, you discover the mountains in the Funes Valley or take a trip to the Val Gardena. A holiday in South Tyrol always involves a visit to the Dolomites, in summer and in winter, by foot and on your skis or mountain bike. The legendary “pale mountains”, described as the “most beautiful mountains in the world” by extreme alpinist Reinhold Messner, fascinate and intrigue with their majestic beauty and variety. Declared World Natural Heritage Site by the UNESCO, the Dolomites are home to a soft and sustainable kind of tourism in order to preserve this jewel for a long time. On the various hiking trails around Gudon you can see the exceptional beauty of this natural wonder in all its extension – and in the small things you find on the way!
