The heated outdoor swimming pool is ideal for weary hikers, adventurers, or exuberant “mermaids.” The outdoor swimming pool promises fun for the whole family. Everyone can join in on the fun.

while the kids like raving in water, you can find some time for yourself. After a refreshing dip, you can relax on the sunbathing lawn and admire the magnificent panoramic view, including the bizarre prominences of the Dolomites. Or treat yourself to a wave pool or a massage shower.

Active vacationers can indulge in beach volleyball or enjoy a quick game of table tennis. Vacationers who fancy themselves acrobats or daredevils can show their stuff on the diving board. The little ones have their own playground with children’s pool where they can romp and play without a care.

Horseback riding

There’s nothing better for the inside of a man than the outside of a horse, they say. Olang / Valdaora, the family-style village in the Pusteria Valley, can rightly be regarded as a paradise for horse-lovers. That’s because the Tolderhof Stables located right on the edge of the village boasts about 30 very well-trained warmblood and Hafling horses and the Tharerhof Stables are among the biggest riding stables in South Tyrol.

You or your children can approach the horses, become familiar with them and earn their trust, go on short practice rides in the corral or on the all-terrain course. We recommend that advanced riders participate in an accompanied ride out, in either the English or Western riding style. You can also attend lessons in driving horse-drawn carriages. All in connection with the incomparable natural beauty of the Pusteria Valley. You are promised an unforgettable vacation. At the Tharerhof Stables, children as young as two years of age can interact with the horses and learn the rudiments.

Fishing

There are several great fishing spots in and around Olang / Valdaora Thus, young and old alike can bait their hooks and try their luck. What a perfect way to relax and unwind! Just you, your fishing pole, the lake, and the fish.

For certain fishing spots – the Brunst Brook / Furkel Brook, the Olang/Rienz reservoir, and Antholzer Brook (flycasting, only), Lake Toblach, and Lake Prags and the Prags Brook, you will need a fishing license as well as membership in the provincial fishing association. At the Antholz Niedertal fishing pond and the Bintapub (Gsies Valley) fishing pond, no license is necessary. Rather, it’s enough to purchase a day card.

Baby buggy routes

Seated comfortably in their baby buggies, your children can experience the beauty of the Pusteria Valley. They can smell the fragrance of the freshly cut hay and the scents of the forests. They can listen to the babbling of the brooks. A whole new world will open up for your children.
