I'm going to Brixen tomorrow, and while researching it in preparation I discovered that if you stay in a hotel there you get issued a BrixenCard allowing you free transport on buses within the entire S Tirol region, and some trains too (https://www.brixen.org/en/my-holiday/brixencard).
I'm going to be spending 3 weeks moving around the dolomites, are there any other similar cards I'll be able to get from various places?
In Val Gardena your hotel will give you a card good for busses that go all over. Don't know how far afield they are good for but they will get you to Bolzano, Alta Badia........... Cortina ?

As of 2015 I believe the Bolzano hotels did not give out free cards. There was one you could buy. Again harking back to 2015, I believe the Brixen card also provided free entry to some museums as well as the transportation benefits.
If your Brixen hotel isn't air conditioned, ask for a fan at check-in. That valley can be quite hot in the summer, and a lot of the lodgings didn't have a/c at the time of my visit. I suspect this is a problem throughout the area when you aren't staying at altitude.
