Your holiday destination in the Puster Valley

Situated in the heart of the Fanes–Sennes-Prags national park, the Rieserferner and close to the Sexten Dolomites national park, Olang (or Valdaora in Italian) lies at almost 1,000 m above sea level and nestles in the upper Puster Valley where the valley widens out and it has a stunning view over the surrounding mountain scenery! Olang is made up of four districts: while Oberolang, Mitterolang and Niederolang are situated amidst flat meadows and fields, Geiselsberg looks down on you from the inviting slopes of the local mountain, the Kronplatz. Here, nature shows its beauty: the dark forests, hills, cliffs and jagged peaks of the Dolomites, the Rieserferner group with the Hochgall glacier and the course of the green Puster Valley running from east to west.

All of this makes Olang your perfect holiday resort amidst the Dolomites: whether it is the walkers and climbers in the summer or the skiers and cross-country skiers in the winter, they all find what they are looking for.
