Urtijëi (; ; ) is a town of 4,637 inhabitants in South Tyrol in northern Italy. It occupies the Val Gardena within the Dolomites, a mountain chain that is part of the Alps.
==Geography== Urtijëi lies roughly in the middle of the Val Gardena (Gherdëina), which runs east–west. The municipality, counted as part of Ladinia, covers an area of 24.25 km², but it includes only the orographically right (northern) side of the valley with the main settlement area (1170–1350 m a.s.l.) and the rising slopes behind it. The left (southern) side of the valley beyond the Grödner Bach (Derjon), with the villages of Pufels (Bula), Runggaditsch (Runcadic), and Überwasser (Sureghes), belongs instead—although Ladin-speaking and culturally as well as economically oriented toward Val Gardena—to the municipality of Kastelruth (Ćiastel). The same is true for the Seiser Alm (Mont Sëuc) and the Puflatsch (Bulacia) plateau, which rise up south of these villages.
