Dovolená v Sterzing/Vipiteno a okolí

The tour starts in Innerpflersch (St. Anton), where several parking options are available. A larger car park can be found directly at the club house "Haus der Vereine". From here, cycle leisurely over the wooden bridge towards the Allriss car park on a well-paved asphalt road. Continue straight on in the direction of Stein / Sasso, accompanied by the gentle rustling of the trees and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape.
From the car park, a wide gravel road leads further uphill to the "Hölle" (hell) viewing platform and on to the idyllic Furtalm. This is the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy the tranquil mountain scenery – ideal for families with children!

The return route follows the same path back to Innerpflersch.

From the train station, cycle leisurely along the bike path into the idyllic Pflersch Valley and continue towards the Brenner Pass. Soon, turn left onto the Giggelberger Road, which winds uphill in gentle curves. Along the paved route, you pass blooming meadows and rustic farms until you reach Außergiggelberg – the last farms are already nestled in a stunning mountain backdrop.
Here, a forest road begins, leading further upwards through dense woods and across scenic clearings. Arriving below the Sanjoch, turn right and follow the ridge – accompanied by impressive views of the surrounding peaks – until you reach the Sandjoch. At the top, it’s worth pausing for a moment to take in the tranquility of the mountains.
The return journey follows the same route, offering more beautiful panoramic views down the valley.

Wine and aperitiv bar in the heart of Vipiteno/Sterzing.

From Ibsenplatz, head towards the train station, descend the wide steps with a ramp, and continue into the Pflersch Valley. After about 2 km, turn left onto a forest road (1,077 m). This road climbs a little steeply at first, then continues gently into the valley until it ends at km 7.2.
Here, a trail through the forest begins – experienced bikers can ride this section, while less experienced riders may prefer to push their bikes. After another 400 m (km 7.6), the forest road resumes and leads to km 8.7. At this point, you have the first option to turn left and stop for refreshments at the Ladurnerhütte (1,731 m).
Return from the Ladurnerhütte on the same path. At km 11.1, you rejoin the forest road, which offers a pleasant descent. At km 15.2, you’ll come across a path leading to Innerpflersch (do not turn – wrong direction!). After another 500 m (km 15.7), you reach a junction: here, a slightly uphill path takes you to the welcoming Allriss-Alm (1,534 m, refreshment stop).
From here, it’s all downhill – first on a gravel road, then on asphalt – passing the sports field in Pflersch and continuing down the valley along the valley and cycle path back towards Gossensass.

A good meal can only taste great when it is prepared with love and passion. Our kitchen team at the Schneeberg Hotel in South Tyrol is well aware of this fact and invites you during your vacation here with us to a culinary voyage, where you'll love every bite

Families feel particularly at home in the Pflerschtal valley ski area between the Brenner/Brennero border and the medieval town of Sterzing/Vipiteno. Kids from age 2 can have a blast at 'Fichti's Kinderwelt, a 5,000 m² children's winter park. At the ski school, which has received several gold awards, the ski instructors know exactly how beginners best learn to take their first turns. Experienced skiers can carve over the slopes of the forest valley ski run or enjoy the panoramic trail with a view of the Tribulaun and the Weißwandspitze peaks. The nearly 7-km toboggan run from the Ladurner Alm Alpine pasture is fun for young and old. Alternatively, the idyllic landscape in the Ridnauntal, Pfitschtal and Pflerschtal valleys boasts countless winter hiking routes and an exquisite network of cross-country skiing trails. Experienced ski tourers can climb up to the Stubai Glacier or the Zillertal Alps.

Your tour to the Brenner border ridge starts in Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero. First, cycle up the forest road to around 2,150 m, where the Brenner Pass Ridge trail begins. From there, continue almost level along trail no. 1 towards the saddle "Steinjoch". Shortly afterwards, turn right onto trail no. 3, which takes you to the Steinalm hut. A little further on, turn right again onto a steep forest road that leads you back to the Brenner – Bolzano cycle path. From there, enjoy a relaxed ride back to Brennerbad - Terme di Brennero.

Few cities are so close to the slopes: From the picturesque shopping streets of the former Fugger town of Sterzing/Vipiteno, it’s just a five minutes to the valley station of the Rosskopf cable car, which quickly transports guests up to 1,860 m above sea level. On Sterzing's local mountain, also known as the 'Sterzing sun terrace,' the panorama over the entire Wipptal valley is quite impressive and the Dolomites of the southern Odle mountains reach for the sky. The quickest way back into the valley is via the spacious slopes. Alternatively, discover the idyllic winter landscape of the family-friendly skiing area by snowshoes.
