Ulëta

Impressive ensemble on a sunny slope

Ulëta, on the sunny side of the valley at 1560 metres above sea level, is one of the few hamlets in Gröden and consists of three twin farmhouses. The lowest dwelling has a central section from the 13th century, and the highest dwelling is probably the most recent building in the ensemble. The hamlet is a prime example of how Gröden farmhouses reflect their location, weather, climate and use of sunlight and communicate with their environment.
