AT THE BORDERS WITH THE MAGIC, SEISER ALM – ALPE DI SIUSI: The candor and enthusiasm of an exquisite hospitality, the feeling of being on a large balcony, overlooking the Alps

Our invitation is to go Sciliar, preferably after making a visit to the Tourist Association Sciliar. Where is that? Let Eve to tell you about it, she knows everything that is useful for you, for a holiday on the snow, on the border between Italy and Austria, on the border with the magic. Your contribution, tell us a your travel experience, writing to info@meetingbenches.com

If you are looking woodcarvings or slopes for children, if you want to eat and sleep in choosing something that fits your “measures”, well, read on (but on one condition, you have to love the snow). My name is Eva and I was born and raised in Alpe di Siusi – Seiser Alm – a corner of the Alps that I know every flower and every rock, but also something more concrete and useful for you. As you can imagine, I speak correctly two languages – German and Italian – because the Italian region where I live has always been a special entity, twice special: it has an autonomous status, and I fell in love as always, with the same candor and enthusiasm of when I was a child. http://www.alpedisiusi.info/en/info/welcome.html

I do not know your provenance but you await at the exit of the Brenner (Bolzano Nord). From here we take the road to Völs (Fié allo Sciliar), with final destination Siusi. The possibilities are many hotels, but for tonight I will recommend the Hotel Icaro – Piz in locations – and you will have the opportunity to bring your dog with you also, if you have one. The only inconvenience (if you want it to consider the case), is that the hotel is away from the country, and we can only reach by snowmobile or horse-drawn sleigh. Tomorrow, you can come with me to the Alpe di Siusi, where I’ll take you to the Tourist Association Sciliar (will tell you everything that is useful for you to ski passes, ski equipment rental and ski school). Do not forget – when you choose your ski pass – Dolomiti Superski option (valid for all the lifts, including those of Val Gardena). http://www.hotelicaro.com/en/alpe-di-siusi/1-0.html

I can not stay with you all day, because the tourist season – now approaching Advent – brings with it a lot of work, and I live for this work. A proposal. Can I stay with you after dinner (remember, if you stay in the Hotel Icaro, that the treatment that you pay includes half board), accompanying you in two special places, to brighten your eyes with tidbits things of our tradition. http://www.hotelicaro.com/en/booking/search/66-0.html

In Alpe of Siusi (in Kastelruth, or Castelrotto), to Street 9 von Wolkenstein, you can choose the delicacies of Bakery Trocker, while 10 will enter from Silbernagl, a grocery store special, almost a micro-review of what I eat always (do not forget bacon and sausages). Excuse me, excuse me if I really can not stay with you, but as I said at the beginning, Eva works now. If you need anything, Castelrotto, you can go to the number 1 square Kraus. The Tourist Sciliar will give answer to every question, but also suggest something original. http://www.trocker.it/html/de/index.php
