Here in the heart of the Dolomites, you’ll find a 436-km-long network of perfectly groomed trails.

Wintertime hiking

When your breath fogs in the pristine winter air and the village is swaddled in the finest powder snow, the whole world seems to stand still for a moment. That’s the time to march off on a winter hike. To walk through the deep snow and hear the crunch of the snow under your boots… to forget your everyday worries. There’s no better way to free yourself of your inner tensions than to consciously rediscover the freedom of slowness.

From the family village of Olang / Valdaora, thirteen certified and posted winter hiking trails will lead you into the magnificent alpine world of the Dolomites. These trails are carefully groomed and maintained on a daily basis. There’s something for everyone. There’s such a variety of trails here: From easy walks, simple hikes through gentle fields and through the glittering winter forest. Of course, you can also undertake hikes in the open terrain – but for your own safety, this should be only when accompanied by locals familiar with the lay of the land. All in all, you can explore 47.5 km of trails before returning with rosy cheeks to any one of the numerous inns and ski huts along the way. The brisk winter air will stimulate your appetite for delicious South Tyrolean specialties and hearty Pusteria Valley dishes.

Tobogganing

When children, full of laughter and excitement, speed along the seven-km-long natural tobogganing course stretching from the Brunst Alm down the valley towards Olang / Valdaora you can sense the pure joy.

On the “magic carpets” in the Kids Area Panorama at the winter sport zone between Oberolang / Valdaora di Sopra and Mitterolang / Valdaora di Mezzo, your children can also enjoy tobogganing.

But watch out! It is important to learn how to safely steer and brake. We offer you instruction in safe tobogganing for groups of two participants or more.

A horse-drawn carriage ride over snow-covered meadows sparkling in the sunshine is exactly the right thing for you.
