A winter vacation in South Tyrol

Comfy accommodations for your ski holiday in Freienfeld/Sterzing

You’ll spend your winter holiday in the Wipptal Valley in a picturesque white landscape: A blanket of snow, glistening in the sun, covers the meadows, and the trees and church steeples wear white caps. What’s particularly striking is the peaceful silence that hangs over this almost idyllic scene.

Winter in Wipptal also offers a true paradise for fans of winter sports. The region features ideal conditions for skiers and snowboarders, snowshoe hikers, ski tourers, and tobogganers. You may conveniently store your ski equipment in our ski room. A ski boot dryer is also available, ensuring your boots are ready for use the next day and offer optimal comfort.

Skiing holidays …

…in Wipptal on the sunny side of the Alps

Just a 20-minute drive away, the ski area Rosskopf near Sterzing offers 20 kilometres of perfectly groomed slopes for all skill levels. Thanks to modern ski lifts, waiting times are short, and snow cannons ensures a reliable blanket of white snow for sunny skiing experiences on the southern side of the Alps.

With equally reliable snow conditions, the ski area Ratschings extends up to 2,200 meters of altitude and features a Fun Slope, a ski movie course, and speed check track. Another 18 mostly wide slopes make up the ski area Ladurns, where advanced skiers and snowboarders will have just as much fun as families. And in Fichti’s Kinderland, your kids may make their very first experiences on skis.

Snowshoeing…

…cross-country skiing, and tobogganing in South Tyrol

However, even for non-skiers, there are plenty of ways to enjoy winter. The Wipptal is still considered a hidden gem for winter hiking. Part of the 70-kilometer network of cleared winter hiking trails bears the seal of approval “Premium”. The view of the pristine winter wonderland on either side of the trail is breathtaking, as are the occasional stops at quaint mountain huts where you may warm up with a cup of hot mulled wine and “Kaiserschmarren” (shredded sweet pancakes).

On snowshoes, you may experience winter in South Tyrol off the beaten track. A particularly romantic snowshoe hike leads from Freienfeld for ten kilometres to the “Weiße Wand” (White Wall). Alternatively, you may glide across the pristine white landscape on cross-country skis on the high-altitude trail in the ski area Rosskopf.

A tobogganing holiday in Wipptal promises plenty of fun and excitement. The natural toboggan run in the ski area Rosskopf offers a thrilling six-kilometre descent. And the “Birchwald” toboggan run is a good 700 meters long.
