About Ortisei St Ulrich
Ortisei, St Ulrich in German and Urtijëi in Ladin, is the main and most densely populated town in Val Gardena, a town of about 4,700 people at roughly 1,236 metres on the right bank of the Gardena river. Ladin is the majority mother tongue, and woodcarving is the craft it is known for: the parish church is full of local wooden statues, and the valley museum here shows carvings and toys alongside fossils. Three lift systems leave the town: a gondola up to the Alpe di Siusi, a gondola and cable car to Seceda, and a funicular to the Rasciesa. The homes sit in and around the village, most have a garden, and a few sleep eight or more.
