Reindeer on Mount Croda Rossa

In summer as well as in winter you can observe in the Dolomites region 3 Zinnen the only reindeer herd in the Alps

Reindeer in the heart of the Dolomites, how can that be possible? The 2,965 m high Mount Croda Rossa di Sesto (Rotwand) in the Sesto Dolomites is known for many things, among them for its well-known hiking paradise, beautiful skiing area and historic scene of the Italian Front, where a series of battles between Austria-Hungary and Italy took place in WWI.

Some years ago, a herd of Finnish reindeer found a new home in a vast enclosure near the mountain station of the Croda Rossa. It is accessible by cable car from the village of Sesto. A new viewing bridge was built there, from which the reindeer can be observed even better.

At the mountain station and near the enclosure there's also the Rif. Rudi mountain hut. The hut is an ideal starting point for hikes and mountain tours and is named - how could it be otherwise – after Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
