There is nothing more grounding and inspiring than time spent in nature. Winter hiking opens our eyes to the essential things in life.

Sometimes we just need a little break. A little break from everyday life to reorganise our thoughts and recharge our batteries. Want to know what helps us? Wrapping ourselves up in warm winter clothes, getting our dog ready, and heading into the boundless nature that surrounds our hotel at Plan de Corones/Kronplatz. In our immediate vicinity there are countless beautiful winter hiking trails that take you into the solitude of the mountains. One of our absolute favourites is the legendardy Fanes Alm in the heart of the Dolomites. It almost seems as if the bizarre peaks, which tower far into the deep blue winter sky, are a trellis for the winter hikers. The impressive path winds its way from Pederü up to the Fanes Alm, where you can stop for a bite even in the coldest of seasons, before you make another detour to the Fanes Pass. The view that you get enjoy from up there … it fascinates even us South Tyroleans again and again.

We will be happy to tell you more insider tips for winter hiking in person.

See you soon!

It must reach the ceiling, be finely dressed, and not be perfect. Know who we're talking about? The Christmas tree, of course, which belongs in every good parlour at Christmas time.

Every year, we get excited like little children as we start looking for the perfect Christmas tree. Needless to stay,  we always find it in our local forest, as it’s not only in our cuisine that we place great value on regionality. Our tree is a real South Tyrolean, so to speak, which reaches the ceiling of our hotel in Olang. Growing Christmas trees is a science in itself in South Tyrol, as is the date of felling the tree, which ideally takes place after full moon. Once the natural beauty is set up in the parlour, we give free rein to our creativity. Sometimes we go for Tyrolean simplicity, other times for dazzling glamour – just let yourself be surprised in which garment our Christmas tree will be awaiting you this year. We have a tip for all those who would like to bring a piece of South Tyrol home this year: decorate your Christmas tree according to old South Tyrolean tradition – with real South Tyrolean apples, (home-made) gingerbread, stars made of straw, and red candles. This Christmas tree not only delights the eye, it also pampers the palate.

We wish you a wonderful Christmas time!
