Zimowe piesze wędrówki w Południowym Tyrolu

An easy hike through larch woods and the romantic Fischleintal valley, to the very foot of the Einserkofel.

The 2.5 km hike through the Wielental/Valle di Vila has no difficulties and is therefore also suitable for families with children.

A lovely winter hike that goes gently but steadily uphill. Almost the entire hike passes through snowy woodland and beautiful winter landscapes, making it wonderfully peaceful and relaxing.

The Winterwanderweg starts under the mountain station of the Ratschings-Jaufen cable car at the valley station of the Rinneralm chairlift (3 min. Walk).It goes in the direction of Kalcheralm, first over meadows and then on the forest road. Continue to the Kalcheralm. Return on the way.

An easy hike through larch woods and the romantic Fischleintal valley, to the very foot of the Einserkofel.

Ski racers and mountaineers Hans and Paola Steger made their mark on the Seiser Alm like no other, before or since. Pioneers of mountaineering in the Dolomites, they made an immense contribution to the development of skiing on the Seiser Alm: The Hans & Paola Steger trail pays homage to their achievements. Info boards lining the route provide a host of information on the nature and culture of the Seiser Alm. A magnificent Dolomite panorama accompanies hikers along this leisurely yet fascinating trail. 

How is tasty mountain cheese made?
The ‘Drei Zinnen’ display dairy at Dobbiaco/Toblach and the ‘Milk Mile’ at Sesto/Sexten provide answers to questions like this. The local Alpine dairy farming world is explained along an interactive woodland trail. Interested visitors can try their hand at milking using a wooden cow and read how the various cheese types are made.

he Waldkapelle Chapel, an emergency chapel built during the First World War for returning farmers, was used during the Second World War to hold German masses, which were banned by the fascists. The meditation path with 14 stations leads from the Parish Church in Sexten to the Waldkapelle Chapel. Along the way, the stations invite you to pause. To avoid walking back along the same trail, continue along the path and then turn right up towards Gasthof Waldruhe . From there you walk comfortably 
along the asphalt road down to the Hösler Höfe farms and the last stretch along the forest path to the starting point.

This hike offers a breathtaking 360° view of the surrounding mountains. Highlights of this circular hike are the legendary witches' benches, the Filln cross and the observation platform Engelsrast.

In good conditions and when there’s enough (but not too much) snow, this hike can be completed without any problems. The trail is regularly maintained using a tracked snow groomer. On the farm track along the hairpin bends are clearly-marked shortcuts, but in winter these tracks are usually inaccessible or should at least be negotiated with care.

From Pederü, follow the road to the Fanes pastures.
Our suggestion: Walk on to the Limo pass (15 minutes’ walking distance from the Fanes inn) to enjoy a breath-taking panoramic view out onto the “Fanes realm”.

Light forests and mountain meadows alternate along the entire route, with easy climbs and flat sections. In winter, the track is regularly maintained with a snow groomer.

It is a forest path of cosiness, no altitude difference and no special impulses. You will always have the village of Sesto on your left and pass the famous Sexten cemetery. From the reservoir through the forest to San Candido.
Tips and advices: very little difference of altitude and no special efforts, a comfortable forest way. Pass the cemetery  and also the Stifts Church in San Candido.
Summary: a very nice and calm excursion with the possibility to mix culture and shopping at San Candido.

A wonderful hike through the larch forests from Sexten to the Innerfeldtal Valley with a direct view of the mountains.

From the parkin space at the Biathlon center > pass the Tiroler Hütte hut > along the street to the restaurant Platzl am See and Enzianhütte hut > same way back to the starting point

An entertaining alpine circuit for the entire family!                                                             

This hike will take you through snow-covered meadows and forests from Armentarol/San Cassiano to the Malga Valparola Alp, an historic site, where the mineral extracted here, was transported, underwent smelting and transformed into iron. The ruins of the smelting furnaces are now abandoned and in pieces. 

Today, only the hut’s name (Hut of the Iron Furnaces in German) serves as a reminder of the economic prosperity, now long gone, once enjoyed by this extraordinarily picturesque place.

The Valparola hut is closed in Winter.

There we follow the indication “Panoramaweg” beginning on the right. The famous “Round Table” an the "Dolomitoskop" are created by the artist “Franz Messner”.

This is one of the oldest irrigation canals (Waalweg) of Merano and environs!
It was built in the XV century by the Counts of Stachelburg and is, therefore, more than five hundred years old. The canal is lined by birch-tree groves and rich, varied vegetation and is still used to irrigate the Parcines orchards, meadows and fields. 
An ancient “Wohnstein”, a free-standing, curved rock in whose shadow ancient people lived, and a pre-historic “Schalenstein” – a stone with strange round-shaped indentations on it, dating back to the Copper Age, can be seen at the eastern end of the Waal path.
This particular walk is especially interesting for those interested in local history.
