Holidays at the foot of the Three Peaks

Your route to the landmark of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage.

The striking mountain formation of the Three Peaks is not only a popular photo motif and the symbol of the Dolomites par excellence – the rock towers also appear in the Sexten coat of arms, together with a chamois – or, in local dialect: Gammaze. They are an integral part of Sexten’s identity. Anyone spending their holiday here should definitely visit the Drei Zinnen! On foot from Fischleintal valley – or more comfortably with the Three Peaks shuttle via Misurina in the neighbouring province of Belluno.

A view of the Three Peaks
Yes, you can also catch a glimpse of the famous Three Peaks from Sexten! Where? At the top station of the Three Peaks cable car. Since 2014, this gondola lift has connected the two ski and hiking mountains Helm and Rotwand. And its name is no coincidence: once at the top, you stand directly opposite the pale peaks of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage– with a view of the Three Peaks!

The snow-covered Three Peaks
The partner municipality Zermatt and the Matterhorn
Mountain villages and their landmarks. What the Three Peaks are for Sexten, the Matterhorn is for its Swiss partner municipality Zermatt. Another striking rock formation of worldwide fame. In the Haus der Berge, Sexten dedicates an entire floor to the close mountain friendship between Sexten and Zermatt. Both places are shaped by life on and with the mountains, both look back on a long Alpine history. Visitors can experience the ascent of the Matterhorn and the normal route to the Big Peak up close via a VR documentary.
