During this winter excursion you may well just see modern farmsteads, but handy information boards showing pictures from the time reveal what the buildings really looked like in the past.
Partir pour une randonnée hivernale, sur des sentiers parfaitement tracés, c'est découvrir le côté paisible du Sud-Tyrol. Points de vue enchanteurs dans les Dolomites, forêts enneigées dans les tranquilles vallées voisines, dans la région du Kronplatz... Les endroits ne manquent pas où vous pouvez profiter de vous-même et de la nature, dans un silence absolu. En raquettes, vous vous éloignerez des pistes de ski et des remontées mécaniques pour découvrir des forêts encore totalement préservées. Mais, que ce soit en raquettes ou à pied, randonner en hiver dans le Sud-Tyrol sera toujours une expérience inoubliable.
