Room with balcony and a view of the peaks of the Sexten Sundial

The Sexten Sundial

Above Sexten stand five Dolomite peaks, and each is named after the hour at which the sun stands above it. Together they form the Sexten Sundial.

Where the sun is right now

Neuner, Zehner, Elfer, Zwölfer and Einser are the names of the five Dolomite peaks opposite our hotel. Together they form the Sexten Sundial, because between nine and one o’clock the sun moves from one peak to the next. From the south-facing balconies of the St. Veit, you can watch it on its way.

Neuner, Zehner, Elfer, Zwölfer and Einser

At nine o’clock the sun stands above the Neuner, at one o’clock above the Einser. You come really close to the five peaks in the Fischleintal valley, which runs along their rock faces.

Aerial view of the snow-covered Fischleintal valley, with the Sexten Dolomites behind

Fischleintal valleyThe Fischleintal valley runs almost level from Moos near Sexten to the Talschlusshütte, past flower meadows and ancient larch forests. This is where the trails up to the huts of the Sexten Dolomites begin.

Viewpoint on the mountain, with the Dolomites rising above the fog behind it

Mount Helm & RotwandMount Helm and Rotwand are Sexten’s local mountains, and a gondola lift takes you up both. From Mount Helm you look across to the Sexten Sundial, while on the Rotwand lives a herd of reindeer from Finland.

Square in the village centre with houses and a pavement café

Innichen (San Candido)In Innichen (San Candido), the neighbouring village to Sexten, you stroll through the pedestrian zone to the Romanesque collegiate church. Children head for the Haunold, with its gnome village and summer toboggan run.

Mountain lake with a rowing boat between rock faces

Lake Braies (Pragser Wildsee)Mountains and forests are mirrored in the clear water of Lake Braies (Pragser Wildsee). From Sexten, the lake in the Prags valley makes a lovely day trip by car or by bus and train.
