The Location
The Ladin village of Lungiarü is located in a side-valley of Val Badia, near San Martino in Badia (St. Martin in Thurn), San Vigilio (St. Vigil), and Badia (Abtei).
Longiarù Valley, or Campill Valley, stretches from San Martino in Badia (St. Martin in Thurn) to the foot of the Puez-Odle mountains.
If you visit in summer and autumn, you can hike to Ütia Ciampcios, Forcella Medalghes/Kreuzjoch, Rifugio Genova/Schlüterhütte, Sass de Putia/Peitlerkofel, Ütia Vaciara, and Crep dales Dodesc (Antersasc). Kreuzjoch is one of the mountain passes that link Val di Funes with Longiarù valley, and thus Val Badia.
If you’re visiting in winter, there are several winter walks, snow-shoe-hikes, and ski tours in the area.
Winter Walks: Longiarù to Val di Murins, San Martino across Lovara.
Ski Tours: Antersasc, Fanes Pasture, Fodara Vedla and the Senes Pastures, Puez Peak across Antersasc, and Col di Poma/Zendleser Kofel.
You can learn about all the suggested routes on the Les Dolomites guest website.
