Winter in Funes

Winter hiking in the Dolomites

A valley as it was before our time: in Villnöss in the Dolomites, there are no cable cars swinging up the slopes.
Winter guests have to create their own piste - and experience moments of boundless freedom

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. 
 

Tobogganing

Exciting descents in the winter magic

 Away from the busy ski slopes, tobogganing offers the perfect way to fully embrace the joys of winter in the mountains. A toboggan ride on one of the many natural runs is an exciting experience for young and old. Whether during the day or under the stars, whether leisurely or action-packed - the Villnöss Dolomites valley offers toboggan runs for every taste and requirement. It has a variety of toboggan runs that ensure a varied winter's day. The starting points of the runs can be reached on foot via specially prepared ascent tracks. The descents take place on carefully prepared and secured toboggan runs.
