Winter holiday in the Dolomites
A place to relax
Villnöss, far away from the hustle and bustle of the ski slopes, welcomes its guests with a natural and peaceful winter wonderland in the heart of the breathtaking South Tyrolean Dolomites. There are countless paths for winter hikes and toboggan runs as well as cross-country ski trails and a small ski area waiting to be explored. Families in particular appreciate the many relaxed sports and leisure activities here, far away from the hustle and bustle and surrounded by unspoiled nature.
Hiking
Make your way through the snowy winter wonderland
While winter hiking on groomed trails in Villnöß, you will discover enchanting viewpoints, snow-covered forests and enjoy the absolute silence of the uniquely beautiful winter landscape of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park. On snowshoes, you head off the groomed slopes into untouched landscapes. At the end of the hike or in between, you can treat yourself to an enjoyable break in a restaurant or mountain hut. This makes snowshoeing and winter hiking a unique experience.
Guided snowshoe hikes are also available for those who feel unsafe in open terrain and prefer to join a group.
A detailed overview of the hiking paths and the mountain huts can be found here.

Skiing
Skiing fun for the whole family
In the village center of St. Magdalena is located a small ski area "Filler". It is particularly popular with families with children, beginners and those returning to the sport. It offers a playful and gentle introduction to the world of skiing. A ski hut at the valley station offers an ideal place to rest and warm up in between.
Experienced skiers, on the other hand, will find the well-known ski resorts of Plose and Val Gardena nearby - both can be reached by public transport in just 30 minutes.
