Hiking and Kneipp therapy

In summer, outdoor activities are on the agenda. Wonderful hiking tours through the beautiful landscape are just as popular as mountain biking, for example on the Dolomite High Routes. The difficulty level of the route should definitely be taken into account. Professionals are drawn to the Dolomiti SuperBike route, while those who prefer less incline should stick to the PusterBike cycle path. Whether active or completely relaxed - amid the breathtaking mountain panorama, outdoor tours are twice as much fun. The Kneipp adventure village provides a refreshing break, revitalizing tired legs.

The Kurpark is highly recommended: here you will find tennis courts, a bocce court, and an adventure area for children. Relaxation is also offered: in the quiet zone, visitors can let their soul truly unwind.

In Villabassa / Niederdorf, there are various accommodation options: from hotels, to guesthouses, to holiday apartments - the possibilities are diverse.

Behavior in the High Mountains

High up, surrounded by a breathtaking mountain panorama, different rules apply than down in the valley. The weather turns faster, a planned tour sometimes requires more effort than expected, and a small misstep can sometimes necessitate an early return.
