From Sesto or Versciaco (closed in summer 2026), the gondola takes you comfortably up to Monte Elmo – where the legendary mountain creature Olperl awaits. This adventure mountain combines nature, wildlife, history and relaxation on one summit – stroller-friendly, with gastronomy right at the mountain station.
The lively mountain creature Olperl guides you and your family on a 1.5 km circular trail to ten exciting experience stops. From climbing stumps to the barefoot path, from lookout towers to the water trough – here you experience the mountain world with all your senses. An unrivalled view of the peaks of the Dolomites is included.
At the Children's Hut you discover with your little ones an authentic alpine world in miniature to step into and play in – with small alpine huts, a mill, little beds and much more. A magical place that makes children's eyes sparkle.
At the mountain animal enclosure with petting zoo, children get up close with real alpine animals – goats, rabbits, sheep, yaks and alpacas are waiting to be petted and admired. A wonderful animal experience for the little ones and an unforgettable moment in the heart of the Dolomites.
The Reinhold Messner Haus at Monte Elmo is a unique testament to alpine history and passion. Here your family dives into the world of the legendary mountaineer – inspiring insights into the life and adventures of Reinhold Messner.
