Active holidays in the Dolomites: skiing & hiking in Valdaora

Experience South Tyrol.
In any season.

Here in Val Pusteria, South Tyrol shows itself at its very best throughout the year. Your holiday experience begins right on the doorstep: hiking, cycling, skiing or simply taking a moment to reflect.

And if you need tips – we spend a lot of time outdoors ourselves and are always happy to share our favourite places.

Summer Winter
Summer in Valdaora – sun, mountains, freedom

When the scent of hay fills the air and the sun circles above the peaks of Valdaora, Val Pusteria comes to life. Meadows, forests and paths invite you to spend the day outdoors – hiking, cycling or simply enjoying a good ice cream on the bench in front of the house.
A summer just as it should be: peaceful, natural, genuine.

The Valdaora Tourist Office regularly offers guided tours – with hiking guides who know Val Pusteria like the back of their hand.

Benefits for hikers::
  • Start directly from the house
  • Maps and tour tips available from us

A summer full of possibilities

Would you like to cool off? The Valdaora outdoor swimming pool (approx. 1 km away) offers refreshing relief, as does a dip in one of the nearby mountain lakes.
If you prefer to stay active, Val Pusteria offers climbing, golf, paragliding or even paddling, depending on what you fancy.

And if you feel like taking things a little more slowly visit one of the many festivals or cultural events – from summer concerts to traditional village fairs.
