In July 1957, the Union di Ladins dla Dolomites moved its headquarters from Bolzano to Val Gardena in the Cësa di Ladins (House of Ladins). Since then, the Union Generela di Ladins dla Dolomites (umbrella organisation of the Dolomite Ladins) represents the common interests and objectives of the following 5 autonomous sections: Val Gardena, Val Badia, Val di Fassa, Buchenstein/Colle Santa Lucia and Cortina d'Ampezzo as well as those sections which represent the Ladins living outside of these valleys.

The Union Generela di Ladins dla Dolomites (UGLD) aims to strengthen the Ladin awareness in all areas, also through the mass media, especially through its press organ "La Usc di Ladins" (The voice of the Ladins). The Union pursues this purpose: 

  • to protect and to promote the Ladin cultural and linguistic heritage and in doing so to valorise the tradition, the local names and the Ladin peculiarity in general;
  • to preserve and to strengthen the Ladin awareness in all areas, also by means of social communication and the press;
  • to promote profitable and fraternal collaboration and understanding among the entire Dolomite Ladin population;
  • to defend the interests and objectives of the Ladin population in the cultural, social and environmental fields and to work for the respect of their fundamental rights;
  • to promote contacts and cooperation with Ladin organisations in the canton of Grisons and Friuli.

The Union Generela di Ladins dla Dolomites is  a member of FUEN since 1997.
