Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Sesto

10 stays · 4 aparthotels and 6 serviced apartments

Sesto, known in German as Sexten, is a mountain village in South Tyrol, and aparthotels and serviced apartments suit it well. Both seasons here involve outdoor kit, early starts and flexible meals, so a flat with a kitchen, drying space and separate bedrooms is easier for families and walking or skiing groups than a single room. The official tourism site lists apartments among the accommodation types, alongside hotels, guesthouses, farm stays and camping.

Where to stay in Sesto

Sesto village

  • first-time visitors
  • skiing
  • families

The village is the main base. The official tourism site says the 3 Zinnen Dolomites ski area surrounds the village in a semicircle, with access points at Helm, Stiergarten, Kreuzbergpass and Rotwand. It lists hiking, climbing, biking and paragliding among the summer activities.

Val Fiscalina

  • hiking
  • families
  • nature

The tourism site calls the Fischleintal valley, or Val Fiscalina, the gateway to the Sexten Dolomites and describes meadows and a picture-book setting popular with families and nature lovers. It is within the Three Peaks Nature Park and gives direct access to the Three Peaks on foot.

Monte Elmo

  • skiing
  • hiking
  • views

Monte Elmo (Helm) is one of the access points to the ski area, according to the tourism site, which also says it is home to the Reinhold Messner House museum. It is north of the main village on the map and suits guests whose plans centre on the mountain rather than the valley.

Getting around Sesto

Wikipedia places Sexten near Innichen (San Candido) and Toblach, and says Innichen railway station is one of the border stations between Italy and Austria. For onward travel into the valley, the official südtirolmobil site offers a journey planner, timetables, network maps and an app, so check the bus connection to Sesto for your dates.

The südtirolmobil site lists the südtirolmobil Fix365 Pass and a U19 Pass among its ticket products, and also mentions tap&go. Within the village, most places are close together, but the hamlets and the ski area access points are more spread out, so ask your host how the lifts and bus stops relate to your apartment.

Living in Sesto for longer

Sesto suits stays of a week or more, because the programme of guided hikes, via ferrata tours, bike tours, exhibitions and music events described on the tourism site changes through the year. For a longer stay, choose a flat with a kitchen and space to store skis or walking gear, and think about whether you will need a car or rely on buses for shopping in neighbouring towns.

The tourism site also describes a High Five on Sexten initiative for responsible mountain tourism. Wikipedia notes that German is the first language of 92.37 percent of residents according to the 2024 census, so expect German and Italian signage and menus.

When to visit Sesto

In winter the tourism site lists skiing at the 3 Zinnen Dolomites ski area, as well as cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ski touring and winter hiking. It also mentions Christmas markets among its seasonal events.

In summer the focus is hiking, climbing, biking and paragliding. Wikipedia says the Three Peaks are in a UNESCO World Heritage area, and gives the height of the highest, Cima Grande, as 2,999 metres. The tourism site also promotes Golden Autumn events, so autumn is an active season too.

Wikipedia says Sexten lies in a branch of the Puster Valley near Innichen and Toblach, where the Drava rises, and had 1,817 residents in July 2025 across 80 square kilometres. The Sexten Dolomites and their nature park, which includes the Three Peaks (Drei Zinnen or Tre Cime di Lavaredo), are the main draw. Below are the areas to consider, how to reach the village and what each season offers. For neighbouring bases see San Candido and Italy.
