Straight into the ski paradise

Endless fun on the slopes of our local mountain, and in the evening: the perfect descent right to your doorstep. The Monte Spico, part of Skiworld Valle Aurina and with over 40 kilometres of pistes, is a jewel of the Alps, and it’s close by: the ski bus that takes you for free to the valley station departs directly from the house. In the evening, it’s best to use the valley descent, which leads all the way down to Rio Bianco.  It couldn’t be more simple, could it?

Out of the door, on to the trail: the cross-country skiing insider tip in Rio Bianco

The cross-country trail of Rio Bianco runs right past our house. 10 kilometres of trails (skating and classic) guarantee pure nature. It’s also not far to the other trails in the valley. What could be nicer than gliding through the snowy landscape and enjoying the peace and fresh mountain air? Are you ready for a nature experience?

P.S. Did you know that the cross-country skiing trails in the Valle Aurina are part of Europe’s largest cross-country skiing carousel, “Dolomiti NordicSki,” with over 1,300 kilometers of trails? We are particularly proud of this, as “Dolomiti NordicSki” not only stands for pure cross-country skiing fun but also for the quality of the perfectly groomed, snow-sure trails in both classic and skating styles.

Enjoy pure nature in winter

For those who want to enjoy the peace and beauty of the snow-covered mountain landscape away from the pistes and cross-country ski trails, there are ski tours, snowshoe and winter hikes. Wouldn’t you like to explore the unspoilt nature on numerous routes and experience the winter tranquillity up close? Andreas, your host, is just waiting to help you choose a tour. Feel free to ask him in the evening at the bar.

Here you can find the perfect blend of an experience in nature, exercise in the fresh air, culinary delights and cosiness.
