Alpe di Siusi / Seiser Alm (Dolomites) 20240713
Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm ) is a Dolomite plateau and the largest high-elevation Alpine meadow in Europe. Located in Italy's South Tyrol province in the Dolomites mountain range.
It is located in the western part of the Dolomites and has an elevation between 1,680 meters and 2,350 meters; it extends for 52 square kilometers between Val Gardena to the north, the Sassolungo Group to the northeast, and the Sciliar massif to the southeast, which with its unmistakable profile is one of the best-known symbols of all the Dolomites. Given the vastness of the area, from here it is possible to admire a large number of mountain groups: among others, the Sella Group, the Rosengarten group, and the Marmolada.
It is the largest mountain pasture in Europe. It is divided into numerous plots reserved to grazing or from which farmers obtain hay for their farms at lower elevations.
The eastern part has been included in Sciliar Natural Park since 1975.
