This alpine village is a place for finding peace, as you walk along Via della Meditazione in one of the highest beech forests in Europe, as well as for becoming energized in the many outdoor activities ranging from hiking, climbing the iron roads, biking and snow sports.

Sottoguda is also known for the Serrai, a narrow canyon about two kilometres long excavated into the rock over the centuries by the Pettorina stream.

In addition to the fascinating landscape setting, even the history and culture of this hamlet, based on silvopasture practice and wrought iron and wood craftsmanship, also contribute to making it a distinctive and unique place.
