The Schlern area is particularly well-known for its manifold walking and hiking opportunities, both for the young and the not-so-young. You'll find a plethora of well-maintained paths and tracks to suit every level of experience and fitness.
You can literally start from our front door and walk over blooming meadows and through green woods to the VÖLSER WEIHER lake, a beautiful bathing lake over which towers the Schlern mountain. From tere you may continue upwards to the TUFFALM (alt. 1270 m) or HOFERALPL (1250m) mountain inns. Those who want to go higher still can walk further on through the dramatic Schlern Gorge, along the Prügelweg path up to the top of the SCHLERN (2457m) and the Schlernhaus, which is very probably the most beautiful mountain inn you'll ever see in the Dolomites.

In just under half an hour you can drive or take the bus to the SEISERALM (alt. 1800-2100m), which covers an area of 54 sq. km. and is thus the most extensive plateau in Europe. A paradise for hikers in a sea of flowers. An adrenalin rush in the face of the rock, a stamina-testing hike up steep slopes, a refreshing dip of your feet in the mountain streams, or simply a leisurely stroll over meadows in full bloom. The area around the Langkofel and Plattkofel, Rosengarten and Schlern mountains offer just about everything.

From March to November you can play golf at the Golfclub Kastelruth / Seiser Alm. The 18-hole golf courses is at about 3 km from the hotel.

The city of Bozen/Bolzano is only a half hour with the bus too. The bus stop is a mere three-minute walk from our house.

Other sports and activities include
horse riding and tennis at Völs and the Völser Weiher lake ( 5 mins by car), mountain biking (bikes provided for our guests)
paragliding and hang-gliding on the Schlern mountain,
golfing below the Rosengarten mountain (25km),
fishing in the lakes around Völs.
