About
The Gorge of Serrai di Sottoguda, Temple of Nature, is a picturesque gorge cut into the rock with cliffs over 100 meters. In this gorge you will find various waterfalls. In addition, for 13 times the stream intersects with the bridges. The route is about 2.5 km. The site is located between the village of Sottoguda, wonder of the Dolomites and the Marmolada, the Queen of the Dolomites.Why shoul I pay for it?In order to have access to the gorge, in the daytime, a contribution from visitors is requested. The aim of this contribution is the enhancement of the site so that it is maintained and improved. The site is managed by the Consortium Marmolada, not-for-profit consortium. This consortium, with clear arrangements with the municipality of Rocca Pietore ensures that 100% of the gain is allocated to the Serrai di Sottoguda and the Municipality of Rocca Pietore with maintenance and improvement works. Each year we proceed with the safety of the walls, with the change and maintenance of fences, are also maintained clean the Serrai and most of the paths of the town of Rocca Pietore and much more. The staff is also local and from Agordino.Being opposed to this it means to be opposed to the maintenance of the site and to its improvement.

Sadly it was closed for an unspecified period due to damage caused by floodings in late 2018. Not sure if it has been fully restored by now. The surrounding area was quite beautiful though.

Worth visit the Gorge but also the village Sottogouda. Beutiful houses, like a living museum and also excellent gift shops.

This gorge is one of the highlights of the regio and an easy walk. Forget the weird tourist train that does not add anything to the experience

Serrai di Sottoguda is a canyon formed by earthquake and water erosion. You can reach it either through Malga Ciapela or Rocca Pietore at the other end. This is a walk of about 2 kms in serene surroundings with a rushing stream alongside.
The wives opted to use the mini train whilst we walked. The first part from malga ciapela is downhill. There are a couple of small caves, a niche with a madonna, a small chapel and wildflowers. This makes for a pleasant walk and you can visit the village of Sottoguda at the end. There is a small entrance fee to use the path, proceeds are used for upkeep.

This walk is a great short excursion both by day and night. We did a torchlight walk in the evening organised by the local ski school which was great fun and only 5 euros (incluing mulled wine at the end) and visited in the day and watched the ice climbers. amazing frozen waterfalls on an easy sign posted path from Malga Ciapela to Sottoguda. Want to come back in the summer and combie this with the cable car to top of Marmolada...amazing.

Nice walk of 2 km through the canyon of Sottoguda The canyon walls get closer and closer the longer you walk. Interesting side parts are for instance the ice waterfall (although in summer just some water :) ) the Madonna and the little church.
For those who cannot walk the 2 km, there is also a touristic train

Really nice place! The walk down from Malga Ciapela is easy to do and truly spectacular, it's relaxing and the unique view is amazing.

Buongiorno, vorrei sapere se la pista ciclopedonale da Sottoguda a Caprile e poi fino ad Alleghe è transitabile da carrozzine per disabili e da passeggini normali (non da trekking). La pavimentazione consente il transito a questi mezzi? La tempesta Vaia ha determinato interruzioni? Grazie

Vorrei sapere se la zona è agibile e se il trenino funzione ancora.
Inoltre si può fare anche a piedi? Se si com'è il percorso è quanto e lungo?
Grazie in anticipo

Buongiorno Sig.ra Graziella,
la ringrazio per la sua cortese richiesta.
Purtroppo i Serrai di Sottoguda rimangono chiusi al pubblico per questa stagione estiva a causa degli ingenti danni riportati a seguito dell'alluvione che ha colpito il nostro territorio lo scorso ottobre 2018.
Al momento non siamo a conoscenza della data di riapertura, l'aspettiamo per una visita non appena il parco ritornerà fruibile in tutta la sua bellezza.
Un cordiale saluto da Sottoguda

Il percorso è attualmente percorribile dopo il disastro che c’è stato ?

Buongiorno,
in inverno i Serrai sono abbastanza battuti e percorribili con scarponcini da trekking adeguati.
Chiaramene le condizioni possono variare in base al meteo, quindi la invito a contattare direttamente l'Ufficio Turistico prima di partire al 0437722277.

Quale pista devo percorrere per raggiungerli con gli sci?

Mi spiace ma non sono sciatore, sono stato spesso ai Serrai ma sempre a piedi. Comunque la strada che attraversa i Serrai (ora solo pedonale) parte direttamente da sotto la funivia di Malga Ciapela e arriva direttamente nel cuore del paese di Sottoguda. Nè da una parte nè dall'altra mi sembra dunque ci sia una specifica pista sciistica da imboccare, occorre semplicemente percorrere la strada dei Serrai.

Salve, vorrei sapere se ci sono mezzi pubblici per il ritorno. So che in estate c'è un trenino, ma per l'inverno? E vorrei sapere se sono necessarie le ciaspole e dove si possono noleggare evantualmente. Vorrei organizzarmi per i primi di febbraio e non ci sono mai stata. Grazie.
