The Sport- and Wellnesshotel*** Ratschings spoils you also with its culinary specialties which represent the climate, the landscape, the culture and the people of this wonderful valley.

In the Ratschings ski area, not far from Sterzing/Vipiteno, advanced skiers carve across 28 kilometers of perfectly groomed slopes, while little ones can practice skiing and playing in the snow at the “Kinderland”. Freestylers are drawn to the “Fun-slope”, featuring steep turns, tunnels, and small jumps. Skiers particularly love the north-facing slopes, offering firm snow conditions well into spring, as well as the forest descent. Above the mountain station, the forest opens up to feature a wide plain that invites you to winter hikes. The toboggan run is the perfect way for the whole family to descend into the valley together. Cross-country skiers will find a challenge on the "Platschjoch High-Altitude Trail," which runs diagonally through the gentle winter landscape on the main chain of the Alps and through spruce forests.

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

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. The toboggan run is winter fun for young and old at its most popular. With a distance of 10 km, it’s the longest track with artificial snow cover in Italy.

The Pleasure Hotel Rainer in South Tyrol offers its guests seasonal and regional products. Chef Hannes focuses on the quality of nature products and purchases many of these products from local farmers.

Starting from the north of the country, the cycle route gently descends along the railway line in winding curves, leading you to Colle Isarco (Gossensass) and then on to Vipiteno (Sterzing). Shortly after leaving the Brenner Pass, you can enjoy your first Italian cappuccino in a charming cultural gem along the way.

The route then takes you straight into the heart of the Fugger town of Vipiteno – simply ride through the open arch of the iconic Zwölferturm (Tower of the Twelve). From there, the path continues over flat and slightly uphill sections, passing through villages and hamlets until you reach the impressive Franzensfeste Fortress. A stop here is highly recommended to explore the exhibition rooms of this historical structure, originally built for war but never actually used in combat.

The cycle path then takes you past the Vahrn Lake before arriving in the medieval bishop's town of Brixen. There, you can reflect on your tour with a glass of wine, stroll beneath the arcades, explore local culture, or head straight back into the peaceful natural surroundings.

And if your legs are running out of motivation, don’t worry – the train offers a comfortable way back to your starting point.
