“Nutchaya + Kane”
A Golden Evening on the Plateau
In the golden glow of a June evening, N & K wandered through the blooming meadows of Alpe di Siusi, far from home and deep in the heart of the Dolomites. The mountains stood tall and still as they got ready side by side—quiet, tender, and full of anticipation. With wildflowers beneath their feet and endless skies above, they spoke their vows and exchanged rings at a breathtaking spot, witnessed by Sassolungo. As the sun dipped low, they shared a simple picnic of local delights, champagne bubbles rising with laughter, and a sweet surprise to end the day. An elopement woven with emotion, adventure, and wild beauty.
Where Is Alpe di Siusi ?
Alpe di Siusi, also known as Seiser Alm, is the largest high alpine plateau in Europe. Set in South Tyrol in Northern Italy, it offers sweeping meadows framed by the dramatic Dolomites peaks of Sciliar and Sassolungo. Its vast, open landscapes make it one of the most iconic and accessible places for a Dolomites elopement.
Here, the light shifts constantly—morning mist, golden sunsets, clear starlit skies—giving couples the perfect canvas for a day that feels both intimate and cinematic.
How to Get There
Getting to Alpe di Siusi is easier than many imagine. The closest airport is Bolzano (around 40 minutes by car). For more international flights, couples usually arrive via:
Innsbruck, Austria – 1h45 drive through the Brenner Pass
Verona, Italy – 2h30 drive, with many European connections
Venice Marco Polo Airport – 3h30 drive, often the most convenient for overseas travelers
From the airport, rent a car and head to Compatsch, the main access point to Seiser Alm. Cars are allowed up before 9am and after 5pm; during the day, you’ll park below and take the cable car. This preserves the serenity of the meadows, making them perfect for a private elopement.
When to Plan Your Alpe di Siusi Elopement
June–July: Wildflowers in bloom, long days, vibrant meadows
August: Warm weather, but very busy with summer visitors
September: Golden light, quieter trails, ideal for intimacy
October: Crisp air, autumn tones, dramatic skies
Each season offers something different, but summer and early autumn are most popular for couples seeking both beauty and accessibility.
That sense of stillness is exactly what makes an Alpe di Siusi elopement so unforgettable. Here, you can exchange vows at golden hour with the Dolomites as your witnesses, enjoy a picnic of local cheeses and wine, or wander hand in hand through fields that feel endless. Some couples choose a short hike for more secluded spots; others simply soak in the views from the meadows. Whatever pace you choose, the landscape makes every moment cinematic.
Planning an elopement here is simple.
Most couples hold a symbolic ceremony in the mountains and handle the legal paperwork at home. June through September is ideal for weather and flowers, though September offers quieter trails and golden light. Be sure to bring comfortable shoes, layers for the mountain air, and maybe even a blanket for a sunset picnic.
Whether you dream of laughter-filled vows at sunset, a champagne toast with Dolomite peaks rising around you, or simply a quiet moment of connection in the meadows, Alpe di Siusi offers space, beauty, and freedom. It’s a place where love feels limitless.
A Real Story: N & K in the Dolomites
For N & K, it was about presence and simplicity. They spoke their vows as the evening light softened, laughed over a basket of South Tyrolean treats, and wandered until the stars began to appear. The Dolomites don’t need staging—they simply invite you to slow down, breathe, and be.
