Sporty nature lovers will feel well with us. No matter if hiking, bike riding, climbing, swimming, windsurfing, ice-skating or skiing - the unique landscape of our region lures visitors the whole year round with different spare time offers.

Enjoy already before the spring begins the first rays of sunshine with an easy hike directly from the farm yard of, for example to the Ice holes. Or explore wide parts of South Tyrol with the bike. A well developed bicycle network connects you with Bolzano, Merano, the Lake Reschen, the Lake Caldaro and the south of the land and reaches as far as to the Lake Garda.

Embedded idyllically in the forest of Monticolo/Montiggl, the two lakes of Monticolo attract little mermaids and sunbathers from May until September. However, because of his windy situation, the Lake Caldaro is the ideal to surfe or sail, that incidentally is also one of the warmest bath lakes of the Alps and South Tyrol’s biggest natural lake.

The crisp autumn invites not only to extensive hikes but also to an old South Tyrolean costume: the Törggelen!

The winter lets the bath lakes finally freeze and provides for everyone a quite particular ice-skating enjoyment. Known Skiing tracks are only a scarce car hour from the Gleifhof distant. Sled fans reach the Mendel in only 20 minutes - the house mountain of the Alto Adige.
