Winter

Skiing and snowboarding at its best – vigorous sport or easy-going enjoyment, whatever you prefer. The Ahrntal Valley of Taufers offers you both in its two skiing regions Speikboden and Klausberg. Here you will find sunbathed slopes with the most varied degrees of difficulty, good company and authentic chalets and inns. Want to take it easy? Unhurried skiing pleasure is yours on pistes away from the usual hustle and bustle, and your kids can safely try their first turns on glittering snow. Far into the first warm days of spring you will enjoy the impressive winter panorama with eighty or so summits 3000 metres high. A free shuttle service runs between Villa Calluna and your skiing area at regular intervals. And those who want more than the 42 kilometres of ski runs in the Ahrntal can rapidly reach South Tyrol’s largest skiing area, Kronplatz/Plan de Corones, which is directly linked with the Dolomiti Superski ski carousel and the starting point of the Sellaronda ski tour.

The high-lying cross-country track at Rein, the Kasern sun track, the training course at Mühlwald-Lappach, the Weissenbach round track – what a wealth to choose from in the Ahrntal Valley! A real paradise for all lovers of Nordic sports. There are tracks of all degrees of difficulty to suit your skill. Our new Cross-country Centre at Rein offers you skiing equipment and a series of cross-country courses. And for biathlon fans the newly built Biathlon Centre at Kasern and the Antholz World Cup track are within easy reach.

The fresh mountain air is crystal-clear as you roam far afield in the winter landscape. Winter walking tours or snowshoe hikes are invigorating activities that take you to the very heart of the impressive scenery of the Ahrntal Valley. In close proximity to Villa Calluna are the starting points of a number of trails and tours that take you across snow-clad meadows and woods to outstanding vistas and cosy alpine cabins.

Virgin snow-covered slopes, sheer limitless peace and quiet. Go in for a ski tour in the Ahrntal of Taufers and sense the freedom and closeness to Nature – a feeling you will never forget. Far away from the madding crowd you become one with the breathtaking landscape around you, and will be amply rewarded for having accepted the challenge by the view of the impressive peaks of the Dolomite mountains.

Winter holidays combine the experience of Nature with lots of fun. Lugeing is fun in good company, and fun for everyone at that. No wonder, then, that the Valley offers you a vast choice of panorama runs through woodland, demanding racing tracks and romantic floodlit runs. Take your pick: Travel in comfort uphill on one of our ski lifts or shoulder your luge and carry it up to the start as you did as a child. You can also spend a merry evening in one of the many mountain cabins and then rush downhill over a floodlit track on your rented luge.

The Ahrntal valley is not only a rock-climber’s paradise in summer – it is also an insider tip for ice-climbers. The ice-bound waterfalls of Rein are a fantastic ice world that attracts adventurers and athletes that go in for extreme sports. Only a few minutes from Villa Calluna by car, these sheer ice towers loom above the valley bottom. We’ll be glad to get you in touch with an experienced mountain guide to ensure your safety.
