Winter holiday in the Val Isarco

Several ski areas are waiting for you during your winter holiday in the Valle Isarco. On the Plose, the home mountain of Bressanone, for example, you can whiz down the longest valley run in South Tyrol, the Trametsch, for more than 9 km. The skiing area Ladurns near Colle Isarco is particularly family-friendly. The Monte Cavallo, on the other hand, can be reached in just a few minutes directly from Vipiteno. Tobogganing enthusiasts should set their sights on this one in particular, as it features the longest toboggan run in Italy. Skiers and snowboarders will also find everything their hearts desire in the Racines-Giovo and Malghe Rio Pusteria.

Those who prefer to be off the slopes should not miss out on Funes and the "Villanderer Alm". The valley at the foot of the Gruppo delle Odle and the Hochalm are perfect for challenging ski tours or leisurely winter hikes through the landscape of the Dolomites.

Snowshoe hike to the "Gampen Alm": This hike in Funes leads from the village of Zans across the "Gampenwiesen" to the "Gampen Alm" hut. It is possible to sledge back to Zans or St. Maddalena/Ranui for the way back.

Villanderer Alm: The Villanderer Alm is also a popular hiking destination in winter. The routes lead through snow-covered forests and past idyllic alpine huts. The Villanderer Alm also offers a variety of winter sports such as cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

The Valle Isarco offers a wide range of events for all ages and interests. Numerous music festivals take place, such as the South Tyrol Jazz Festival Alto Adige. Wine lovers have the opportunity to take part in one of the many wine tastings to sample new wines and regional specialities. Those who like sports can compete in the Dolomiti Superbike Race or the Bressanone Dolomites Marathon. No matter which event you attend, the Valle Isarco offers an unforgettable experience for everyone. In winter, the Valle Isarco offers a wide range of events for visitors of all ages. For example, every year in December the traditional Bressanone Christmas Market takes place, attracting visitors from near and far with its festive stalls and attractions. In January, you can experience the famous ski race on the Plose piste at first hand. The FIS World Cup races in the Val Gardena ski area also attract many visitors every year. Another highlight is the famous Biathlon World Cup in Anterselva, where the best biathletes in the world compete against each other. The range of events is rounded off by various carnival parades and events that take place in February.

Churches, city museums, art collections - South Tyrol is rich in treasures that tell the story of the land. A trip to Bressanone with its cathedral and diocesan museum is a must.

The secrets of the mountains, on the other hand, can be discovered in the Provincial Museum of Mining in Racines and in the Villandro mine. Special geodes from the interior of the South Tyrolean mountains can be admired in the Mineral Museum in Tiso.

Finally, a journey into times long past is not to be missed: from the Trostburg in Waidbruck, which was first mentioned in the 12th century, to the baroque Wolfsthurn Castle with its impressive 365 windows, which today houses the Provincial Museum of Hunting and Fishing.
