Ortisei

Autonomous Province of Bolzano · Trentino-South Tyrol · Italy

Admission and costs
Food and shopping at the chalets are separate from Museum Gherdëina admission. On Christmas Day only food huts operate, 11 am–8 pm; retail huts close. Both sections close from 30 November to 4 December.
Getting there
Useful rail gateways include Bolzano, Ponte Gardena, Chiusa and Bressanone; the published public connection into Val Gardena is bus 350. Alight at Ortisei Piazza Sant’Antonio and continue through the pedestrian centre along Streda Rezia, also home to Museum Gherdëina.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
Museum Gherdëina occupies the Cësa di Ladins at Streda Rezia 83. Its toy, sculpture and natural-history collections are indoors, with museum admission and openings separate from the Christmas village’s retail and food calendars.
Where to park
Garage Central is a paid car park on Streda Stazion. Garage Mont Sëuc on Streda Setil is another paid option.
