Alta Pusteria

The Alta Pusteria Valley, which lies on the sunny side of the Alps, is a hugely varied and natural location in the midst of the land of the “pale mountains”, the Dolomites.
Imposing mountain massifs, sheer rock faces and picturesque pastures shape the landscape of the eastern part of South Tyrol, and this holiday region is thus extremely popular with nature lovers and hikers. Visitors can stride along the almost countless hiking trails and high alpine tracks seeing fabulous flowers and grasses, carefully tended pastures and refreshing mountain lakes on the way. You might even be accompanied by one or two friends from the animal kingdom on your trips of discovery through the breathtakingly beautiful national parks, such as the Fanes-Senes-Braies or the Sesto Dolomites parks. A visit to the Dobbiaco Wildlife Park is also thoroughly recommended for animal lovers.
Without a doubt it is hiking and mountain climbing that set the tone in the most easterly reaches of the region. Not for nothing is the Alta Pusteria Valley described as the Land of the Three Peaks, in honour of the both distinctive and world famous massif. Nevertheless this holiday paradise offers many other attractive sports and leisure activities - mountain bike riding, golf, swimming, tennis and many more make sure that there is plenty of fun and variety for the whole family. The colourful range of cultural activities is also not to be sneezed at - magnificent fortresses and castles, customs and traditions that have been maintained to the present day, and educational museum visits all provide the visitor with a fascinating insight into the region.
You’ll also be completely spellbound by the region in winter. The Alta Pusteria Valley knows just how to show itself from its most picturesque side in the colder months of the year too! Family-friendly ski resorts, toboggan runs, well-prepared cross-country tracks and snow for as far as the eye can see - winter holidaymakers will love it here!
