- Plan food and drink visits through 20:00 on opening days; gastronomy stalls remain open later than the market hours shown.
- Take a train to Bozen, Waidbruck, or Brixen and transfer to a bus into Val Gardena for a public-transport route.
- Ask your participating accommodation about the Val Gardena Guest Pass, which includes public transport across South Tyrol.
