Crisp, juicy and fresh, famed as a vitamin bomb and popular well beyond the borders of the region, there is plenty to learn about the South Tyrolean apple.

Together with apple grower Christine we set out on a journey of discovery through the local apple orchards. Our charming and knowledgeable guide shares plenty of interesting and curious facts about the apple growing industry in South Tyrol, about organic and integrated cultivation, the different varieties, the ingenious methods of naturally-derived plant protection and the protected designation of geographical origin. During the subsequent tasting of the different apple varieties participants can enjoy talking shop about the apples’ flavours and textures and their personal favourites. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions of our expert.

Why should skiing and snowboarding only be fun during winter? Every year, Dolomites Val Gardena invites passionate winter sport athletes to the Spring Race Party. This is a very special competition for everyone who would like to have fun during a ski sport event in spring. The Spring Race Party takes place every year in March/April, i.e. that period of time where the first hiking holiday-goers mix with the last ski fanatics. The former can be seen walking around the hiking paths, finally rid of snow, admiring the first blossoms on the Alpine meadows, while the latter use every single available inch of snow to practice their favourite hobby. Fun is guaranteed! You can enjoy peace and quiet in Dolomites Val Gardena all year round. However, the day of the Spring Race is the perfect excuse for organising a terrific party! It’s a fun obstacle challenger that will take skiers from the Seceda meadow right to the centre of Ortisei; here, all the brave and brazen souls who took part will be welcomed by the party of a lifetime. The participating teams always come up with funny costumes, be it bathrobes, a swimming costume or funny hats and wear them as they ski. During the Spring Race locals and guests mingle in a fun and friendly atmosphere. The winners and the most creative team will be awarded various prizes. The highlight of this phase of dexterity is the massive party which takes place at the end of the sport event. Cult personality DJ Ondy and DJ Simon will create great vibes with their music. Local food producers and restaurants will take care of your culinary needs. In the centre of Ortisei you can take part in wine tasting sessions featuring one or two bottles of especially good vintages, which will just add to the mellow and pleasant experience of the event! If you would like to participate during the next spring race, simply visit Facebook or the organiser’s online page for regularly updated information. All holiday-goers and locals who are in the mood for good music, company and fun are invited to the party!
