Winter hiking
Unforgettable hiking experiences in our mountains
Simply enjoy the winter wonderland. On foot, with snowshoes or with touring skis, easy or demanding tours – there is something for everyone! You can start your discovery tour of the fascinating mountain world directly at the hotel.
Winter hikers can purchase special day tickets, which are valid for the cable cars within the entire Gitschberg Jochtal ski resort. With this ticket you can use each cable car once for a full day. Our tip: At Jochtal, the main mountain in Valles, there is a groomed winter hiking route. Once you reach the top with the cable cars, a breathtaking panoramic view and fresh mountain air await you.
The hike from Valles to Malga Fane, the most beautiful village of alpine huts in South Tyrol, provides unforgettable impressions. Start of this hike is at Kurzkofel Hut. This 3 km long, and moderately steep trail leads through a wild-romantic winter landscape all the way to the renowned Malga Fane. Here you can take a break in one of the traditional alpine huts and return back to the valley on a toboggan.
Absolutely rewarding is the easy winter hiking trail in the nearby Altofassa Valley, which starts in Maranza. Alone, as a couple or a family… everybody is fascinated by the unspoiled landscape in the Altofassa Valley. The winter hiking map for the cable cars will show you how to reach the Altofassa Valley directly from Valles. Take the "Schilling" cable car to "Tanne" and hike along the groomed trail all the way to the Altofassa Valley. From here, you hike to the cable cars, which bring you back down to the valley.
Alpe di Rodengo, also known as the "small high-alpine plateau of the Isarco Valley", is also ideal for winter hiking. This easy trail offers fantastic views of the Dolomites and the Fundres Mountains. Cosy alpine huts await you along the way. From the hotel, the starting point can be reached after about a 15-minute drive.
