From there, you can sledge along the slope and you will connect then to the toboggan run.
All those who don't have a sledge can rent one at the valley station of the funicular.

“Feel nature” – is literally the aim of the ca. 400m long barefoot path at Ratschings/Racines. Barefoot through nature, feeling fully aware different materials, like grass, sand, pebbles, marble of Ratschings, wood in all types and the natural forest soil and its quality. Try out the difference between rough and pleasant materials, the equilibration by balancing and enjoy a natural foot reflexology at the Kneipp-route at the river Ratschingerbach with hot stones and cold water.

Along the trail, designed by the Office of Natural Parks of the Province of Bolzano, you will encounter traditional features such as alpine fences and dry stone walls, as well as informational panels on the area's flora, fauna, and geology.

This easy circular hike between La Villa and Badia goes just a short distance along the floor of the valley, partly through meadows, partly through woodland, from farm to farm, with little variation in altitude and lovely views of the beautiful "viles" of Alta Badia.

The "viles" are settlements that were built in the form of a circle so that each settlement was surrounded by its farmland.

Across the beautiful Latemar meadows, you reach the Latemar Cinema, which, as the name suggests, offers magnificent panoramic views. The subsequent exhausting ascent to the Pulpito peak is rewarded by a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains like the Pala Group, Marmolada, Sella, Sassolungo, Catinaccio and Ötztal Alps.

The Ridnauntal/Val Ridanna Circular Trail starts in Maiern/Masseria. It goes along the Fernerbach stream down the valley to the hamlet of Braunhöfen, where it goes round in a loop. This is followed by a climb up to Gasse and the Joggelehof farm, where you do a loop and then start on your way back. First you follow the same route back to Ridnaun/Ridanna; then you follow the trail in a number of loops of varying degrees of difficulty back up the valley to Maiern/Masseria.

The hiking trail to the Malga Vitelli/Kälberalm is a beautiful hiking trail of about 6.3 km length. The path runs evenly, with almost no difference in altitude and has a breathtaking panorama. The Malga Vitelli is also the starting point for the hikes to the Dossobello di Dietro and the Rifugio Serristori.

In Alta Badia you encounter the oldest culture in South Tyrol and during your excursions it is easy to meet traces of typical cultural assets such as the "viles", the ancient rural settlements with their classic Ladin architecture.

This leisurely circuit leads through meadows and forests slightly above the valley floor, along some of the typical Ladin farmsteads.

The height difference of this walk is small, so the route is recommended even for less experienced and trained hikers.

This adventurous snowshoe hike leads through forest and meadows to the most famous pilgrimage site in South Tyrol, the Maria Weißenstein monastery, which is well worth a visit. Numerous votive tablets demonstrate how, for centuries, the devout sought refuge and mercy from the mother of god in times of worry or distress.

Starting at the inn Jaufensteg, the Pfeifer-Huisile-Path leads along the valley path to Bichl/Colle and on to Vallettina, where the ruins of the birthplace of the sorcerer can be seen. The "Pfeifer Huisele", which was above all distinguished by his humour, is without doubt one of the most famous Tyrolean mythical figures. In the manner of Till Eulenspiegel, a well-known folklore character from northern Germany, he roamed through valleys and mountains on his little donkey. His ideas were so whimsical that you can still laugh about them today. Along the way, several information signs in text and pictures inform about the life of the Pfeifer Huisile. To get back to the starting point, you can either walk back the same way or take the public bus from Larchhof. 

Together with the Furchëta, it is the highest peak of the Odle group. The Group is considered Reinhold Messner’s backyard. It boasts a stunning 360° view of the Puez plateau, Stevia,  Sassolungo and the Val di Funes. A demanding tour with a long ascent and descent and some unsecured passages, it requires a sure-footed approach. We are featuring the east-south trek.

The toboggan run starts directly from the Geisleralm hut (opening time from 26th december) and is identical to the path of ascension till the turning to Zans. From here the sleigh ride leads left through the woods down to the car park Waldschenke. The first piece of the toboggan run is steep and followed by a brisk track with just a few curves.

The Val Gardena railway trail runs along the entire length of the valley and takes you past woods, meadows, hamlets and local sights on the sunny side of the valley. Choose between Ortisei (St. Ulrich), S. Cristina and Selva (Wolkenstein) as your starting point. The walk follows the course of the former Val Gardena railway, which was built during the First World War – in the years 1915-1916.

On a section of the path you will find a number of bronze sculptures by local artists. These give walkers and hikers an insight into the fascinating history of art in the Gardena Valley.

Along the railway line trail from La Poza towards S. Cristina there is a snow gauge, which measures the amount of snowfall for the period from 1951 to the present day.

The Nature Trail Zans is accessible for wheelchairs. Fourteen sections give an insight in the flora and fauna of the Nature Park Puez-Geisler.

Dear snowshoe hikers:
Because of their favourable location, negligible risk of avalanches and the large number of users the following hiking tips are suitable at all times.  Please be careful after heavy fresh snowfall or in extreme weather. Always:  Check the avalanche status report and the weather forecast. Unless the walks are circular walks, all descriptions are only for the outbound stretch.
Do not leave the paths.  For the benefit of the wildlife that already struggles in winter, please avoid making loud noises.
If you are unsure of anything, please ask your host or Tourist Information.

Pretty route with steep sections through the woods to the sunny rock ledge of Monte Corno.  No rest stops.

The cycle of nature: following in the footsteps of the three goddesses of nature in pre-Christian Celtic mythology: Borbeth, Wilbeth and Ambeth. They accompany us throughout the day, the year, our lives. They are there at the start, at the zenith and in the end. They are the source of the farming calendar. Ancient knowledge preserved over millennia.
