Sunset hike with dinner

When the mountains slow down and the sky fills with stars, Alpe Lusia sets the scene for an evening of quiet, storytelling, Ladin flavours, and torchlight in the dark.

There are times when the mountains change their pace. The trails empty and Alpe Lusia returns to the quiet of a high-altitude summer evening. Taking one of the last cable car rides, you travel up with your guide to Le Cune, a panoramic viewpoint looking out over the Pale di San Martino. From up there, your gaze stretches far across the peaks lit by the warm glow of the sunset and the pastures slowly taking on the colours of the evening.

The walk continues on foot to the historic Rezila, a place that preserves the history of these mountains. Here, for generations, the Iellici family has kept up the traditional hospitality of the past. Today, Angelo keeps these alpine traditions alive, welcoming guests into a warm, simple environment rich in history. The mountain hut's interior speaks of farming life and memory, dating back to the war years when the building was transformed into an Austro-Hungarian military hospital. Sitting by the open fireplace, surrounded by stories, the scent of wood, and traditional Ladin dishes, you can rediscover the pleasure of simple things. Then comes the time to head back: the forest lit by the stars, the soft sound of footsteps in the night. It is an experience that captures the spirit of the real mountains, to be enjoyed slowly and remembered long after returning to the valley.
