SKI TOURS
To the Großer Löffler, to the Blauspitz or Ahrner Kopf: The Ahrntal valley is a real insider tip for ski tourers. 84 three-thousand-metre peaks and many more two-thousand-metre peaks provide plenty of variety. Whether easy tours off-piste or challenges with a high alpine flair - you deserve the descent over deserted powder snow slopes!
TOBOGGANING
If you want to breathe in the nature, head for the toboggan runs in Weißenbach, in Kasern or on the Schwarzbachalm, where you first have to hike the to the top before the fast-paced fun begins. Those who are less keen on walking can enjoy the gondola ride to the mountain station at Speikboden and start the longest toboggan run in South Tyrol from there. Our recommendation: Night tobogganing on the Klausberg every Tuesday evening.
Horse-drawn carriage ride
The coachmen of the Ahrntal Valley are ready at special spots or can come directly to your hotel for a private carriage ride.
