In summer, the cultural region of the Venosta Valley turns into a natural sports haven for
hikers, cyclists and mountain bikers alike. And in winter there are no fewer than five outstanding
family ski areas to choose from. During the “white season”, one can enjoy
skiing, exploring the mountain landscape or just simply relaxing.
Ensconced in the Ortler-Cevedale Alps, the
Stelvio National Park and the
Texelgruppe Nature Park, the Venosta Valley is a true all-year round holiday destination for sports enthusiasts and families alike.
The welcoming South Tyrolean
shelters and mountain pastures in the Venosta Valley serve traditional regional culinary specialties. Several spa hotels with saunas and relaxation facilities stay open all year round.
The Venosta Valley has everything it takes to make a summer holiday in South Tyrol a special experience. Down in the valley along the leisurely hiking paths and family-friendly walks or high up on the hiking trails and the
Venosta Valley High Mountain Trail with its natural diversity there is much waiting to be explored. There are extensive route options and single trails for
cyclists and
mountain bikers as well as optimal conditions for white
water rafting,
mountain climbing,
paragliding,
windsurfing and
horseback riding. In the Upper Venosta Valley and around the Resia Lake,
campers have everything they might wish for while holidaying in South Tyrol.
With a choice of
five different skiing resorts, the Venosta Valley has much to offer single visitors and families or groups, including classic
skiing,
freestyle,
snowboarding and
snow sledding. Against the backdrop of the majestic Alps the spectacular mountain terrain is perfectly suited to
snowshoe hiking and backcountry
ski touring. Nordic skiing is especially popular in the Val Martello (
Biathlon center) as well as
cross-country skiing in Slingia/Schlinig. The frozen surface of the Resia Lake is ideal for
ice-skating or
snow kiting, while
horse-drawn sleigh rides through snowy winter forests are just perfect for those romantic occasions.
