SHOPPING IN TRENTINO – ALTO ADIGE: GARDENA, A VALLEY OF DOLLS AND WOODEN SCULPTURES

In addition to being a renowned resort for winter sports enthusiasts, Val Gardena, the pearl of the Dolomites, is a fascinating destination for culture and traditions. Among these, the art of woodworking stands out.
The people of Gardena are indeed specialized in artistic carpentry, particularly in the creation of dolls and wooden sculptures—unique and highly valuable objects loved and exported worldwide.

If you are a fan of wooden toys, you cannot miss Judith Sotriffer‘s toy workshop in Ortisei. An enchanted world where original Gardena dolls and other fantastic creatures come to life. The first thing you will notice upon entering this magical workshop is the scent of paint and stone pine, and the workbench covered with wood shavings, splashes of colour, files, scalpels, and brushes—all evidence of the strictly manual work of this artist, capable of providing emotions and a memorable shopping experience.

The art of carving and wood sculpture finds one of its best expressions in the artisan workshops of Patrick Demetz in Santa Cristina.

Sculptures, chess sets, reliefs, handmade nativity scenes, sacred and profane representations, cuckoo clocks of the highest quality will lead you into the heart of Ladin culture.

And if you are looking for something exclusive and personalized to take home, the artists will know how to unleash their creativity to fulfil your every desire.
