Hundreds of kilometres of well marked paths await you: an incredible voyage of discovery for all who love to hike or walk; it is yours to choose between a stroll through Alpine meadows with their sheer blaze of flowers or the fragrant woods - or a challenging climb to the heights. The public bus will take you to the best places for starting any kind of tour, free of charge. Winter is not to be missed with 40 km of perfectly prepared slopes and100% snow certainty. The sun shines here an incredible 300 days a year and after sundown the floodlit skiing and tobogganing slopes at Obereggen at the Latemar Ski Centre make this one of the best loved winter sports loca
