Seceda is a mountain in the Odle group of the Dolomites, above Val Gardena in South Tyrol, northern Italy, about 5 km northeast of Ortisei and 30 km east of Bolzano in a straight line. It lies within the Puez-Odle Nature Park, part of the Dolomites UNESCO site. Seceda is famous for its sharp ridge, where the rock layers tilt at a single angle to form a row of jagged peaks like the teeth of a saw, dropping to a sheer cliff on one side and to green meadows on the other. A two-stage cable car links the summit with Ortisei, and cows graze its pastures in summer. From the top the view takes in the jagged wall of the Odle and the sloping meadows below it, along with many other Dolomite peaks, including the Sassolungo and the Marmolada. Small wooden hay huts dot the pastures, and wildflowers colour the meadows in early summer. Visitors ride the cable car up from Ortisei, then walk along the ridge or down through the meadows to mountain huts serving local food. The cable car usually runs from late May to October and reopens for the ski season.
