Various films have been shot in Val Gardena and Alpe di Siusi. Directors of international standing such as Polanski chose the Dolomites as a region for filming. The pioneer in the true sense of the word was the local man Luis Trenker! His shooting locations were always chosen with great care so as to capture the essential beauty of the Dolomites. Setting off from Ortisei you can take the Alpe di Siusi cablecar and from the top you can begin an interesting historical-cultural itinerary in the world of mountain film production. In fact the locations in films produced by Luis Trenker are today marked by dedicated benches which display anecdotes and similar from his films. The first bench is to be found right by the cable car station. To get to the second bench you need to go down to Sole and then follow path 9, after which you can take path 19 to return to Ortisei.
