The two altitudes make the Alpe di Siusi holiday region a holiday destination that attractive in every season is: The villages of Castelrotto, Seis, Völs am Schlern and Tiers am Rosengarten are located at an altitude of around 1,000 meters, the Seiser Alm at around 2,000 meters.
Thanks to the altitude and the striking east-west location, the Alpe di Siusi is one of the Snowiest regions in South Tyrol and thus offers skiing and snow fun from December to April.
