Valdaora is found at the edge of the Fanes-Senes-Braies Nature Park, near the Dolomiti di Sesto Nature Park, amidst a spectacular landscape in pristine nature. Deep forests, Alpine meadows, and green hills; white peaks, monoliths, and rocks of the Dolomites; the Rieserferner massif with the Collalto glacier and, by contrast, the smooth valley bottom of the Green Val Pusteria/Pustertal Valley – all this and more can be found in the Valdaora environs.
The village itself has approximately 3,100 inhabitants and consists of four districts. Three of them are surrounded by meadows and fields that lend themselves well to spectacular horse riding excursions; only Sorafurcia/Geiselsberg is located on the slopes of Plan de Corones.
