Cësa Pedetliva Nueva

Residence of the innovative entrepreneur Anton Sotriffer

This several-storey building was built in 1890 by Johann Baptist Sotriffer, owner of the Pedetliva farm, along the new valley road. In 1922, his son Anton (born 1893) opened a shop here, including a section dedicated to the direct sale of wood carvings and wooden toys produced in the valley. While tourism flourished in the 1930s, the international export of Val Gardena carvings faced a decline. In this challenging interwar period, Anton Sotriffer responded with innovation, experimenting with new materials and products. The Sotriffer shop still exists today.
The Pedetliva Vedla farmstead, located below the road, dates back to the 16th century and is one of the few well-preserved historic farmhouses in the town centre.
