There are places that become part of the local fabric not only for what they offer, but for the people, stories, and customs that grow up around them over the years.

Cafè Cales is one of them.

In the hands of the Perathoner family for three generations, Cafè Cales is now run by the third generation, continuing a family history built around hospitality, quality, and the joy of being together.

Café Cales is located along the Santa Cristina promenade, in a privileged position in the heart of Val Gardena.

What is now a pleasant, flat walk through the valley follows the route once taken by the famous Val Gardena railway.

Sitting on the terrace of Café Cales, it’s not hard to see why it has become one of the most appreciated spots at the venue.

From here, your gaze opens onto the Tervela waterfall and the mountains that characterize the Val Gardena landscape, with Sassolungo and the Sella Group framing the scene.

A terrace that, especially on fine days, becomes a place to stop, slow down, and simply enjoy the view.
