Rodinná turistika v Jižním Tyrolsku

The circular hike starts at Ibsenplatz in Gossensass. Begin by walking along the Silbergasse, then continue through the Mooshöfe and follow the valleyline to Ladurns. Once in Ladurns, follow the groomed winter hiking trail behind the Hotel Alpin towards St. Anton.

In St. Anton, enjoy the winter landscape and continue back towards Außerpflersch. Once in Außerpflersch, turn right at the railway underpass and follow the lakeside promenade back to your starting point at Ibsenplatz.

The total walking time for the entire loop is about 4 hours. The Hotels Alpin and Bergkristall in Ladurns offer a great place to rest along the way.

Alternatively, you can take the bus line 313 back to Gossensass.

This hike is perfect for families and anyone who wants to enjoy the winter scenery on a relaxed walk.

The città dei sassi is located on Passo Sella under the famous Sassolungo, it is a "city" with a lot of stones of different sizes which you can climb or walk around. Along the path you have an amazing view of the city and its surroundings.

Very beautiful hike, starting from the parking at the Mount Baranci Valley Station. Go up on the sled run until reaching the Rifugio Gigante Baranci Mountain Hut. Then return to the valley via the Bagni di San Candido Springs.

A relaxing snowshoe hike in the middle of the Drei Zinnen Nature Park with views of the magnificent mountains of the Sexten Dolomites.

The Innerfeldtal valley is the main recreational area for San Candido/Innichen and is definitely worth a trip. Especially in winter, it is an area with a peaceful atmosphere that is hard to find anywhere else. Using snowshoes is a great way to explore this valley, because then you can tread through deep, virgin snow.

From the valley head in Ridnaun/Ridanna hike along the path no. 9 through a forest towards the entrance of the Burkhardklamm gorge and continue either along the gorge or on the forest path at your left side to the water barrier of the Aglsboden. From there you can reach the mountain pasture Aglsbodenalm after a walk of 10 minutes on path no. 9.
Alternative: reachable also starting from Maiern/Masseria and following the forest path (1,5h)

The highlight of this winter hike are the views of the wonderful peaks of the Sexten Dolomites which can be enjoyed all the way along the hike. The whole area is also part of the Drei Zinnen Nature Park and is therefore a place of special beauty and tranquillity, especially in winter. The destination is the Dreischusterhütte mountain hut, where you can fortify yourself for the return route. The hut is open from Christmas to the end of March. The hike itself is relatively easy, a pleasant walk right across the Innerfeldtal valley.

On a well secured climb walk starting from Mareit behind the Hofmannsteg firstly near the brook of the Fernerbach into the gorge. Then climb in serpentines up to a hill, where the old path begins. From there you can enjoy fantastic views down to the roaring brook. Over the new “Katzenleiter” you reach a path section, which is surrounded of ancient drywalls of the time of the ore extraction. There the path winds upwards and you can look over to the other side of the valley with silent farms. A beautiful old forest path finally leads up to a forest road, which leads to the scattered settlement “Gasse”.

Starting point: Obertal/Val di Sopra, Jaufental/Val Giovo (1.298m)
Go left to the hamlet Ontratt and on the alpine road or on the old footpath into the valley. Behind a steep step with a beautiful waterfall (with a short detour reachable) you suddenly come to the elongated pasture and reach, always on path no. 12A, the mountain pasture Bergalm.

We start in the village of Gasteig/Casateia, cross the main road and go along the Mühlbachlweg trail as far as the signposts. We then follow the trail up the valley towards Stange/Stanghe. At first, a well-marked but narrow trail takes us through an interesting forest with a number of inviting benches to rest on. Soon the trail becomes wider and the scenery more varied: a river biotope, a newly-planted forest, low-growing mixed woodland and meadows. At Stange we go over a bridge and walk along the tarmac cycle path to Mareit/Mareta. If you wish, you can walk to the square by the church where an interesting nature trail begins. Exploring the themes of woodland and water, it takes you past the castle (open for visitors). The return is along the same route. You can also start the hike in Stanghe, which shortens it by about an hour. Quality of the trail: for a short distance, narrow, then wider and tarmac to Stanghe. All types of buggy. Things to see on the way: South Tyrol’s rock garden, museum at Wolfsthurn Castle (Schloss Wolfsthurn), Woodland & Water hiking/nature trail.

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. 

From Mittertal/Val di mezzo in Jaufental/Val Giovo walk on the Waldeben-sledge run-path towards Seiterberg, left towards Wiesl to Gospeneid/Caspineto. There firstly over a footpath, then along a narrow-asphalted street past an old farmyard to Rust. Down the road, past the crossing and then on a narrow street upwards to Sterzing/Vipiteno. At the next crossing fork left – and then after the bridge go left along a gravel path. Over this path you reach Gasteig/Casateia – near the bar “Platzl”.  Continue along the main street for a few 100 meters to the Hotel A.nett. Opposite the hotel at the left side of the street starts the “Panoramaweg” into the Jaufental. Hike along this path back to the starting point.

The cable car Ratschings-Jaufen takes you from Bichl/Colle to the mountain station. From there you can hike along the Ratschinger Almenweg to the mountain pasture Wasserfalleralm and further on to the mountain hut Saxnerhütte.

The Val Gardena rail tracks course through the whole valley on a sunny stroll across forests, meadows, villages and local sights. Choose from Roncadizza, Ortisei, S. Cristina or Selva as a starting point. The walk follows the old rail tracks of the Val Gardena locomotive built during WWI (1915-1916) by Russian prisoners. Along the old railway line from La Poza to Santa Cristina you can find the diagram of the snow that fell since 1951.

Pleasant circular hike from Dorf Tirol along the approx. 6 km-long Algunder Waalweg (irrigation channel path) and St. Peter. The route mainly passes alongside vineyards and offers fabulous views of the Etschtal Valley and Dorf Tirol.

Probably the most popular family hike around San Candido/Innichen.

Easy hike on the Monte San Candido/Innichberg Mountain reaching the farms Mehlhof and Stauderhof. You'll also enjoy a view on the Three Peaks!

Beautiful walk along the river (ex bike route), starting from Hotel Brandl, to the playground in Versciaco/Vierschach.

Probably one of the nicest hikes in the San Candido/Innichen region. Its main attraction is the wonderful peaks of the Sexten Dolomites that tower over the whole of the Innerfeldtal valley. The area is also part of the Drei Zinnen Nature Park and is therefore a place of special beauty and tranquillity. The destination for this hike is the Dreischusterhütte mountain hut, which is open from June to the beginning of October and also has accommodation. The hike is relatively easy with no particularly difficult sections.

The cable car Ratschings-Jaufen takes you from Bichl to the mountain station. From there you can hike along the Ratschinger Almenweg to the mountain pasture Wasserfalleralm.

Starting point: Ridnaun/Val Ridanna – Maiern/Masseria (1.370m)
From the park area at the village center of Maiern walk along the transit road to the Hotel Schneeberg, along the asphalted road to a fork, where you turn left and follow the signpost Martalm. Then continue on relatively flatter ground along the asphalted road, past the heating system of the Hotel Schneeberg, through an underpass and uphill in serpentines to the farm Staudnerhof. Pass the farmhouse and continue to walk on a gravel path in the Staudenberg valley. Along the river Staudenberg towards the valley to the first left bend and along a forest path following the signposts “Martalm”. After a short flat section you reach the mountain pasture.
Alternative: starting from Bergl (1.560m) the walk time is about 30 minutes

Version 2: over the forest path, underneath the Steinhöfe turn left and continue until you reach the mountain pasture Furtalm/Malga Furt. Version 3: from the gate following the signpost “Pflerscher Hölle” on your right and from there you reach the destination over a pasture path after approx. 45 minutes.

The starting point of this beautiful hike is the parking lot in Stein, Innerpflersch at 1,350 m. You can choose from three different routes:

• Option 1: Hike along the sunny side of the valley via the Waterfall Trail No. 6 towards Furtalm, reaching it in about 1.5 hours.
• Option 2: For a shorter route, follow the wide forest path 6B, below the Steinhöfe, where you turn left after about an hour to reach Furtalm.
• Option 3: From the barrier, take the path on the right marked to the "Pflerscher Hölle." From here, you’ll reach the Furtalm in about 45 minutes via the alptrail.

The Furtalm is located in a quaint basin, offering a perfect spot for a break. Enjoy homemade products, and it's an excellent family-friendly hike. For an even more immersive nature experience, combine the hike with a visit to the "Hölle" Waterfall and its new viewing platform.

Starting point is the Hotel Larchhof in the valley Innerratschings. From there, you hike along flowery meadows towards Flading, a small hamlet at the end of the valley Ratschings. On the right side you can hear the sound of the creek Ratschinger Bach, then you cross a small forest and the destination of the walk is quickly reached.

This trail takes you through woods and meadows to where the historic spa town Bagni di San Candido/Wildbad. Starting from the parking at Monte Baranci/Haunold, follow the bike route towards Sexten until turning right to "Wildbad". At arrival you can continue until the Rifugio Gigante Baranci/Riese Haunold Hütte Mountain Hut. Just follow the path straight until the destination. From there you can return to the valley by chairlift or the summer toboggan Funbob. The Monte Baranci chairlift and the Rifugio Gigante Baranci Mountain Hut are open from the end of May until the end of September.

Find the animals in the woods

We live in a stunning natural landscape. The fantastic Dolomite area is a natural habitat for a large number of wild animals such as deer, chamois, foxes, squirrels, marmots and hares. It is difficult for us to see these animals as they live in the wild. This reflection led to the idea of an “Animals in the Woods“ themed path, which we have divided into two Tours. So you can get to see the animals in any case, as life-sized carved figures along the routes.

Tour One: Start out from the tourist office of Selva Val Gardena and proceed towards path no. 14 to Vallunga/Langental to the St. Sylvester’s Chapel. At the chapel follow The Way of the Cross no. 26 to Daunëi and from there take path no. 3, which will bring you to the Juac mountain hut. Taking instead path no 17A from Daunëi you will see more animals. Return along the same path.

Tour Two: Take path no. 27 from the Ciampinoi cable car station in the centre of Selva. Turn left at Hotel La Pineta and follow the path as far as La Sëlva. Return along the same route back to the starting point.

A detailed map showing the exact location of each of the animal figures is available at the tourist information office.

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.

A very easy family hike with no significant inclines. The outward route goes almost entirely through woods, a very peaceful setting. The destination is the source of the Drava river between San Candido/Innichen and Dobbiaco/Toblach. You can drink the water directly from the little fountain: you're unlikely to find fresher, clearer water anywhere.

The path starts at the base of the castle hill opposite the parish church of Mareit/Mareta, leads north facing to untouched forest territories near the creek of Mareit and ends west of the castle at its pond. On this path have been set up different natural “stations”, where the visitors – especially interesting for children – can get in touch with nature. From the brookside to bar, forest and meadows, water and mossy soils, from the ant hill to small ponds, the forest telephone and a pavilion made of different wood types – various adventure-worlds are available. Get in contact with nature on soft mossy soil! Experience nature up close, with all your senses!

A walking trail dedicated to the Alpine Ski Champions in Val Gardena.

The route is dedicated to all those who have won a World Cup race since 1969 or a World Championship race in 1970 in Val Gardena, as well as to who believed in the idea of skiing in Val Gardena with great ambition and pioneering spirit.

This themed trail starts in the village center of Selva, behind the Ski School. It is a journey through the history of skiing in Val Gardena, from the beginnings of Alpine skiing, to its establishment as a world-famous ski area which hosts breath-taking ski world cup races every year. In the audio guide you are accompanied by Erich Demetz, honorary citizen of Selva, pioneer and conceiver of the alpine Ski World Cup races in Val Gardena and President for 28 years of the FIS (Fédération Internationale de Ski).

This fascinating story should not be forgotten!
