Whether in the valley or high up in the ski resort, whether classic or skating style: Here both professionals and beginners will find scenic and unique trails as well as an infrastructure without equal.

tobogganing and winter walking

You know someone who doesn’t like to ride? A truly nostalgic winter fun – and on perfectly groomed toboggan runs just as beautiful. Our recommendation: the breathtaking 5 km tobogganing run with an incomparable panorama view in the ski area Ratschings-Jaufen!

If you want to enjoy the winter magic of the mountains in seclusion and peace, you are just right here. Both in the valleys and on sunny heights wonderful winter hiking trails are waiting for you – and the temptation to stop in some of our cosy huts. 

Friends of snowshoeing will find their own happiness in Ratschings and surroundings with a variety of easy tours or expert trails. 

About the scent of mulled wine and gingerbread

The Christmas markets of South Tyrol are magical but the Christmas bells market in nearby Sterzing is truly unique among them.

An atmospheric backdrop of illuminated old town houses, local craftsmen selling artful products, traditional delicacies waiting to be tasted and the local ice skating rink invitinviting to draw brisk curves to familiar Christmas melodies.
