Discover Valbruna

Valbruna offers various starting points for planning a trip: forest trails, scenic experiences, historic sites and cross-country ski trails. If you want to choose your accommodation based on the activities you have planned, it is worth first looking at how to get there and the various options available locally. Ugovizza-Valbruna railway station is served by regional trains that allow bicycles on board. This means you can also consider travelling by bicycle as an option in its own right, without limiting your plans to a single mode of transport.

Forest trails and scenery around Valbruna

The Forest Sound Track is a fully signposted 5.5 km trail from Valbruna. It is also called the Sentiero degli Alberi di Risonanza and leads from Valbruna into a spruce forest. For planning your day, you can classify this trail as a longer signposted route. Another option is the Valbruna Beisner Track. This easy 3.5 km route runs across the plain in front of Valbruna, between meadows and forests. The different lengths and difficulty rating help you align your choice with the route characteristics you are looking for.

The surroundings of the Val Saisera are also part of the character of the area. The Val Saisera valley and its mountains are among the particularly valuable natural areas of the Valcanale. Signposts lead from Valbruna into the Val Saisera. This is where the Bassa Saisera cross-country ski trail begins, at the Austro-Hungarian Cemetery. Malga Saisera can be reached from the settlement of Valbruna. This allows you to distinguish between trails, the valley area and another destination when planning, without combining all the options into a single route.

Cross-country skiing with different route profiles

Several clearly described options are available for a stay focused on cross-country skiing. The Piana di Valbruna cross-country ski trail in Valbruna is 4 km long and rated easy. The Saisera Bassa cross-country ski trail is located in the Val Saisera. It is 7.5 km long and has artificial snowmaking. The two trails therefore differ in length and facilities. Bear these details in mind when looking for accommodation and if you want to organise your winter activities by route before your arrival. This does not imply anything about current conditions or operating times; however, the features mentioned provide a concrete point of reference for your choice.

Historical traces in and around Valbruna

The “Saisera Section” theme park preserves restored communication trenches, trenches and gun emplacements from the First World War. 179 soldiers are buried at the Austro-Hungarian Cemetery in Valbruna.
