Sottoguda, since 2016 a member of the prestigious club of "One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy", is a characteristic village at the foot of the Marmolada where one can breathe the history and Ladin culture of the Dolomites.
One of the main features of Sottoguda is certainly the presence of its wooden barns, known as tabièi, many of which are perfectly restored, making the village an authentic gem.
A village where it is possible to observe various artisanal works resulting from the craftsmanship and skill of the inhabitants, such as wood and wrought iron processing: indeed, there are many works of art that can be found within the village.
A peculiar characteristic of Sottoguda is also the Serrai, a deep canyon carved into the rock by the unstoppable flow of the Pettorina stream for 2.5 km, from Malga Ciapela to the village of Sottoguda. The Serrai of Sottoguda were severely damaged by the Vaia storm at the end of October 2018. A tragic event that left a devastating mark on the landscape of the Belluno Dolomites and the Serrai of Sottoguda. Recovery efforts took a long time: it was a long, complex, and delicate job, completed in 2025.
Today, the Serrai Park is closed, awaiting a possible winter opening.
