Haus Neu Pedetliva

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 Alt-Pedetliva 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.
