Various Questions on Ortisei & Lift/Trail Access

Family and I will be staying in Ortisei June 6 - 11. We will not have a car. We will likely have the six-day Gardena card.

I would appreciate assistance with the following:

  1. Is there a recommended trail/walking path from Ortisei to Santa Cristina to Selva? If so, in which direction would I get the best views?

  2. What is the best way to access the Sassalungo Group loop trailhead?

  3. What is the best way to access the Forcella Sassolungo lift?

  4. Can you recommend any beginner-friendly via ferratas?

Thank you!

Recommend looking at the Barton's book Walking Val Gardena. Excellent resource, better than me trying to cover it that's for sure. All great hikes with #1 offering a nice change of pace. And that reminds me, depending on time of year you're traveling it might be good to have some low elevation hikes in mind. Last time there we got snowed out up high.
