BEST HIKES in the DOLOMITES, ITALY (part 1): ALPE DI SIUSI, Italy 🇮🇹 | Ryan Pelle

[@AlokSingh-e5r]

Hey Ryan , thankyou for visiting alpe de siusi village,Italy I saw this village in my notebook page

[@RyanPelle]

This is one of my favourite places in Europe. So glad I found out about this place :)

[@RizaAdalid]

Beautiful scenery..😮 Heading to dolomites soon can’t wait

[@RyanPelle]

Have fun. I’m a little bit jealous 😀

[@raninenohra8405]

Thank you for giving the viewer the most genuine experience when watching this! I plan to go in two weeks, but I can't decide between Alpe di Siusi or Seceda. I see you've been to both. If you had to recommend one, which would it be?

[@RyanPelle]

Thanks for your feedback. You certainly made my day 😍 It’s almost impossible to pick!!!!! But I probably would pick Alpe de Siusi because it’s more green and there are so many routes you can do. But then you’re going to miss the dramatic cliff views of Seceda. And I think the refugios in Seceda have better views than in Alpe de Siusi. But if you want to just roam around rather than sit in the refugios, I’d pick Alpe di Siusi. Yeah, I’d do that. It’s so unbelievably perfect this place. Have fun 🤩

[@raninenohra8405]

@@RyanPelle thank you!!

[@aditigupta4634]

I was totally feeling the excitement you felt at the views...I too feel so so grateful and happy when I am amongst such beautiful nature...loved the video, thank you!

[@RyanPelle]

Thank you. Greatly appreciate your comment :)

[@matildascott5164]

This is one of the best videos I’ve found on this area - thank you! Do you remember which path you ended up taking, as you planned for no. 9 but got lost? 😂 was is path 6?

[@RyanPelle]

Aww thank you. Appreciate it :) when I realised I was lost I ended up just walking towards the general direction of the area I thought has the best view. I stayed in the meadows the whole time to avoid being lost in the forest lol! I also made sure i know which direction the cable car station is just in case…

[@MrXander337]

Wow!! The scenery is just spectacular 😍😍

[@RyanPelle]

It really is. I highly recommend this place. It’s so beautiful (if I haven’t said that enough in the video lol!)

[@naturewalks]

Beautiful share my friend. Fantastic video and amazing place. Have a wonderful day to you!

[@RyanPelle]

Thank you.

[@runa3309]

Ryan, this is the video that made me discover your channel. It's so lovely to see how happy you are because the sight is so beautiful. I can really relate because I was just there 3 weeks ago. I was just as happy as you 🥰😊.

[@RyanPelle]

Ah amazing! Yes, this place is so beautiful it’s almost impossible to not be happy when you’re there 😃

[@gabrielabelotti3339]

Hello, Ryan! May I ask how many hours do I need for this hike? Do you think it's possible to make it in the morning and visit Carezza Lake after lunch? Thank you! Your images from Alpe di Siusi are sooo inspiring!

[@RyanPelle]

Hey 👋🏼 you can do the quickest route for a couple of hours but I’m pretty sure you’ll spend more than that in reality as you’ll stop loads of time to enjoy the views. But it can be done in the morning and then do another hike in the afternoon. That’s what I did! And it was perfectly fine. Enjoy your trip :)

[@AmyBeeken]

Absolutely dreamy! When can I go?!

Alpe di Siusi is the highest pasture in Alps. It is actually a plain at 2000 meters above sea level. There is nothing like it in Alps. I skied all over Europe, after my first ski in Alpe di Siusi, I never went to another ski resort. Magical

[@RyanPelle]

It’s on my list to visit it on winter time :)

[@bryanleetinghang]

Hey Ryan, thanks for the amazing vlog ! Could you share where did you take the cable car to Alpe Di Suisi ? Thanks so much !

[@RyanPelle]

Hey - I took it from Ortisie. There are sign posts around Ortisie pointing towards the cable car station so it shouldn’t be hard to find. Both the cable cars stations for Alpe di Siusi and Seceda are walking distance from Ortisie town centre. Enjoy.

[@bryanleetinghang]

Thank you ! Is it called Mont Seuc for the cable car ?

[@RyanPelle]

Yes. The signs normally have alpe and Mont seuc on it. They’re the same place in different languages.

[@robelynmaunas5275]

Love watching your vlog always yan. Feels like traveling and walking with you😍 amazing kàau Ang mga views og place nga imo ginaadtuan. Godbless yan. Amping diha😇

Thank you 😊. I think this is definitely one of my favourites. As in grabe ka nindut ning lugara :)

[@melvinwong3538]

Thanks for the video, it's all I need to know about how to get to Alpe Di Siusi from Ortisei. Where can I find the Instagram photo frame at 7:52?

[@RyanPelle]

You’re welcome ☺️ If you search Panchina gigante in google maps it should give you the exact location of this spot. Have fun :)

[@MehreenKassam-k5f]

Hi! This is amazing! Could you do the walk in trainers/sneakers? Or do you need hiking shoes or boots? It looks fairly even ground without many rocks?

[@RyanPelle]

Hello. Trainers will do as it’s pretty flat. At least that’s what I did! Have fun :)

[@crab2380]

Just wondering, if we could stand on these grassland? it seems no one does it.

[@RyanPelle]

You can. No one is stopping anyone from doing so. You can frolic to your hearts content lol! It’s just when I was there, it rained the night before so the grass was all wet. Looks great though.

[@kampungboymy]

Hi Ryan! Thanks for making these videos about travelling to Dolomites by train! As I'm going there next month by train as well and would like to check with you if you stayed at Bolzano and travelled to all the hikes by public transport? Thanks!

[@RyanPelle]

Hello 👋🏼 I travelled to Bolzano by train and then took the bus to Ortisie. There are plenty of areas in the Dolomites for hiking but I think Ortisie is perfect if you haven’t got a car as you can access plenty of hikes from there (as shown in my videos). So I stayed in Ortisie the whole time I was in the Dolomites.

[@kampungboymy]

Thanks Ryan for your reply! It's useful for me

[@89shiella]

Ryan! So glad i came across your channel. Now i know which route to take from Florence to Dolomites in September, nilabad na akong ulo ga-google haha. I noticed bisaya sd ka, so.. hahahah. Thanks kay klaro kaayo ka maghatag ug details

[@RyanPelle]

Thank you. You have no idea how happy i am na nakatabang sa kapwa bisaya. Haha! Enjoy Dolomites. Lingaw au didto, nature-wise :)

[@gregfarz78]

We went here one day by random chance, I did zero research beforehand just looked like it would be a nice hike. I was amazed as you were can't wait to go back. It was early May so we were basically the only ones there but the meadows weren't in bloom yet :(

[@RyanPelle]

More reason to come back! I did this hike early June. Not so busy too. This is honestly one of my favourite parts of the world. Also, I just remembered that it snowed the day after this hike. Lol!

[@marimartinsg]

beautiful! Which month did you go?

[@RyanPelle]

Early June.

[@ri2rh]

Where did you take the cable car from?

[@RyanPelle]

Took it from Ortisie.

[@wizardofoz4284]

which hotel did you stay? Ciao.

[@RyanPelle]

I stayed in Garni Panoramik.

[@sandy1234able]

Wow..beautiful Video.Was it hot in June..How much was the temperature

[@RyanPelle]

It wasn’t too bad. It was in the mid-20s if I remember it right. So perfect weather for hiking.

[@graceng8988]

Hi, may I know which cable car did you take to Alpe di Siusi ? I understand that there are two cable cars, one in Ortisei and one in Siusi ? Thank you, great video.

[@RyanPelle]

Hello - if you’re coming from Ortisie there should only be one cable car that goes to Alpe Di Siusi. There are signposts all over town so it’s easy to follow. I took the same cable car on the way back to Ortisie.

[@cozmyx25]

Hey, what was the price of the cable car? Will be going there in 3 weeks, can't wait 😁 Do you have any advice for Alpi di Susi? Or for Ortisei in general?

[@RyanPelle]

The Siusi cable car was €29 return. You can spend a whole day in that place. But if you don’t have plenty of time, pick a trail route ahead of time and stick to it. It’s so easy to get distracted once you’re there as there’s plenty to see. Have fun 🤩 Also, if you’re staying in Ortisie, the hotels hand out vouchers for free bus rides around the area and also access to a heated public swimming pool. Could be a good alternative in case in rains.

[@riccardodallagnese4786]

Beautiful ❤❤❤

[@RyanPelle]

Agreed. And thank you for watching the video:)

[@chinocam95]

I just found out your channel! I've moved between many cities at Europe and now I'm planning on going to the Dolomites! Can you share the place where you stayed at Ortisei?

[@RyanPelle]

I stayed around Garni Panoramik. It’s about 5 mins walk to the centre of Ortisie. Have fun :)

[@suzannelebowitz-ol5fb]

Such a joy to see your joy. The weather looks perfect. Please tell us what month you were there? Please reply. Thank you!

Thank you. Your comment is much appreciated :) I did this hike beginning of June.

[@ptrang2711]

Hello, when i get out of the station, do i have to walk left or right to find the lake at 3:04? And for how long does it take? Thank you.

Thank you. Much appreciated :) i went mid-June and there’s surprisingly few people around. Not sure why.

[@ratihanggraini6903]

What a great view! How many km is the swing area from cable car station?

[@RyanPelle]

Thank you. The swing area is not too far from the station, maybe around a km or two. It’s next to one of the refugios.

[@ratihanggraini6903]

@@RyanPelle hooo thanks for your info.. if you have to choose one, which one do you prefer, alpe di suisi or seceda?

[@RyanPelle]

@@ratihanggraini6903 I feel like siusi is less strenuous than seceda so if you want an easy hike with beautiful views, i’d pick siusi but if you’re okay with going up and down the mountains, i’d pick seceda as it has more epic views, imo.

[@Sagi56668]

super beautiful. how many km did you walk ?

[@RyanPelle]

About 4 miles.

[@michaelpalm1408]

Seiser Alm in Südtirol.

[@sultiib6647]

Hey, how far are the swings?

[@RyanPelle]

There are plenty around the meadows but the one I went to in the video is closer to the cable car station right towards the end of the hike.

[@Giovanni1972]

Can you ride a motorcycle or bike around the meadow?

[@Giovanni1972]

As I continued watching I see that my question was answered. :)

[@RyanPelle]

Yeah, was gonna say bike is fine but not sure about motorcycle:)

[@NaphaLin-yo8qd]

Hi Rayan, thank you for a great video, I'm planning to visit alp di susi, do you think I can do it for an half of afternoon, or do you think I should do it for the whole day? Appreciate your thoughts in advance! Cheers! Lin

[@RyanPelle]

Hi Lin. Thanks for your feedback. Greatly appreciated :) there’s so many hiking trails in Alpe di Siusi depending on how much time youve got. For half a day, I would suggest following the hiking trail number 9. I think it’s the easiest and the shortest but just as beautiful. I was only there for half a day myself and I thought it was enough time to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy the hike. It’s one of my favourite places in the world :)

[@hakimjtg9787]

any advise on doing seceda first or alpe de suise if on the same day? and im planning to come in from outside ortesei. any good places to park in ortesei?

[@RyanPelle]

I did Alpe di Siusi first as the cable car was closer to where I was staying but you can do them whichever way you want. I don’t see any downside doing one first over the other. There’s a big parking area next to the cable car station to Alpe di Siusi. Have fun :)

[@taufiqirham5518]

Hi Ryan. Im planning to go to Dolomites next Sep/Oct. Cud u pls help me to adv the public transport from the airport to the Dolomites? Also, do u mind sharing the budget stay around there? Really appreciate your comments, man.

[@RyanPelle]

Hey man. That depends on which airport you land on. But there should be trains or buses from Venice airport to Bolzano. And I think there’s also an airport in Bolzano itself. So if you just want to do what I’ve done in this video i.e. Ortisie area (the Dolomites is massive) then you can take a bus from Bolzano to Ortisie. I made a video about this as well. It should be in the Italy playlist. Budget wise, i paid around €200 for my 3-day stay at Garni Panoramik. Then I spent around €100 for cable cars and food whilst hiking. I had free breakfast from the hotel. Dinner cost around €25. Obviously you can do all these for cheap depending on your budget. The only thing that you can’t change is the price of the cable cars. You can also hike up the mountain to avoid paying the cable car but I didn’t have time on my side so had to use the cable cars. Hope this helps. Enjoy the Dolomites!

[@mamatjdiary]

Hello😊 Really enjoy watching your video👍😊 may i know the date you visited alpe di siusi? Coz we plan to visit around mid to late september next year but wondering if the grass will still be green like in your video😁 Thanks in advance🙏😊

[@RyanPelle]

Hello. Thanks for watching my video. I went mid-June. I think the grass should still be green in September though. The trees would have changed their colours but I’m sure the grass would still be as green. It’s early autumn so it should still be good. But I think regardless of the season, the Dolomites will remain beautiful. Enjoy your trip :)

Sir, how long was the hike in total? I’m planning to combine alpe di suisi and seceda in one day, I wonder if that would work? Thank you!

[@RyanPelle]

That should work. I spent about 3 hours in Alpe di Siusi and then moved to Seceda and spent about 4 hours there. Obviously it’s not enough but for my limited time in Dolomites, it was fine. Will go back to spend more time there :)

[@kinglopez9156]

This is meant to be only a couple of hours but I got lost lol! I would say though that once you’re in the meadow, there’s so many areas to explore and get lost in. I would suggest around 3-4 hours just so you can enjoy the place to the max.

This is very far north in Italy close to the borders with France and Sweden. This is the kind of region where Giuseppe Verdi is from. Verdi is from Busetto which is further west in a little south but the beauty of the land is very similar. Verdi was very connected to the land that he grew up in and I can see why.

[@RyanPelle]

France is actually further west from the Dolomites and Sweden is much much further north. But I agree that Giuseppe Verdi is from the region close to the Dolomites, which I imagine would have influenced his compositions. It's one of the most beautiful part of the world and I envy anyone who lives in and around the area.

[@akustik_prog1601]

Actually no borders with France here. These are Dolomites not Alps. The closest country bordering with Dolomites is Austria. Sweden is Scandinavia 😅. Alpe di Siusi however is not per se bordering with any foreign country.

Depends on how long you’re going to be in the area. If it’s less than one week, I would suggest sticking to Switzerland and maybe visit the Dolomites next time :) The sceneries are similar it’s just that the Dolomites is a little bit cheaper than Switzerland in general :)
