The Odle massif is one of the most iconic points in the Dolomites, with 18 peaks that reach more than 3,000 m in altitude.

Another postcard is the bucolic Church of San Giovanni in Rannui, with its 1744 baroque style and copper dome, it reigns perfectly among meadows, wooded slopes and majestic peaks.
Another alternative to contemplate the Odle is the Seceda mountain, accessible via trails for adventurers or from the Val Gardena side, going up with the cable car that leaves from the city of Ortisei.
This 2,500 m mountain with a peculiar shape is very famous and always remains attractive, whether with vegetation or snow.
