As soon as someone shouts “It’s snowing!”, even those who feel the cold most will drag themselves from behind the wood burning stove and race out into the great outdoors. No matter how old you are, there’s always something magical about snow! This is reason enough to pack yourselves off to Pfelders, Passeier Valley, in the Italian region of South Tyrol, for a wonderful winter holiday.
Family Time in a Winter Wonderland
Snow, snow and more snow… Pfelders in a nutshell! That is, of course, not counting the many adventures to be had as you spend fun, quality time with the family. Just imagine your little ones receiving their first skiing lessons and ultimately carving their way down the slopes unaided. As they enjoy their first skiing experience, you too can revel in the perfectly prepared pistes, suitable for novices and experts alike, or sip on a warming mug of Jagertee in one of the many inns along the pistes. Your kids are in the best hands! Even if you haven’t skied for ages, there’s nothing to worry about! Staff at the ski hire stations will be more than happy to advise you on selecting the best equipment for your needs. Cheap ski passes for the whole family can be purchased here.
A fun winter holiday in South Tyrol doesn’t have to involve skiing… a horse-drawn carriage ride with your family, tobogganing down the impressive 3½km natural slope, ice skating, cross-country skiing (Langlauf) in Walten, Innerhütt or in the Lazinser Tal, an exciting snowshoe hike through magical, glistening snowy landscapes in Upper Passeier Valley or even just a comfortable stroll on the unique hiking paths that take you through our magnificent mountain world. The thrill seekers among you might want to have a go at ice climbing. There’s so much to do here! The pure mountain air and the snow-capped summits gleaming in the sunshine guarantee a true feeling of being away from it all…
Do you hear that, too?
Can you hear that? If you’re really quiet you can hear it. That creaking under your feet, the crunch of freshly fallen snow. What else? Nothing? Perfect… that’s just how it should be. You won’t see any cars here in Pfelders. We’re hugely proud of being completely car-free, of slowing down and getting back to basics.
