WHAT TO DO:
The area is huge and offers many activities. You can rent a bike and cycle around. There are also multiple hiking paths you can take.
Panorama Walk: For the most famous and picturesque view of Langkofel we recommend hiking from Compatsch to Sporthotel Sonne (Ortisei Cable Car). It is a very nice and pleasant walk without any incline. It will take you around 1-1.5 hours one way. There are some cozy Alpine mountain huts on the way. Have a snack or refreshing drink here. You must stop at Malga Sanon on the way, which offers incredible views! This might take 5 hours both ways.
Rent a bicycle: A great way to explore the huge Alpe Di Siusi meadows is to rent a bicycle. We recommend SportHans. You can use their website to make a reservation online.
Other great spots: Bench Viewpoint
Other activities: Paragliding
