Winter holidays in the Villnösstal valley: snow fun, tranquillity and alpine highlights. Whether you are a winter sports enthusiast, a leisure holidaymaker, or a family, there are many opportunities to experience winter nature here – away from the hustle and bustle of the ski resorts.

• Discover the magic of the winter mountains on snowshoe hikes along quiet trails. With the Slow Dolomites Card, which you will receive upon arrival, you can take part in various tours with experienced hiking guides several times a week free of charge.
• Ski Areas around Ganoihof: The small ski area Filler in St. Magdalena can be reached from Ganoihof within a few minutes and is ideal for children, beginners and returning skiers. The Plose ski area near Brixen is about 20–25 minutes away, while Gitschberg‑Jochtal can be reached in approx. 35–40 minutes. The Dolomite ski areas Val Gardena‑Seiser Alm (with direct access to the Sellaronda) as well as Carezza, Latemar (Obereggen) and Kronplatz are located approx. 45–60 minutes from Ganoihof. Ski equipment can be rented directly from rental shops at the valley stations of each ski resort. Many rental providers also offer heated ski depots for convenient storage of your equipment at the ski area. We recommend checking rental and depot options in advance to be well prepared for your day on the slopes.

• Great fun for the whole family is guaranteed on the six natural toboggan runs in the valley. Many huts offer refreshments in the warmth as well as a toboggan rental service.

• Ambitious cross-country skiers can enjoy a 12-kilometre trail to the Würzjoch. Beautiful trails on the sunny Villandereralm, the Seiseralm, in the Ratschingstal valley, and in Vals invite you to explore the snow-covered landscape of the surrounding area on cross-country skis.
• Experience the mountains on ski tours in open terrain in the Villnöss mountains or the surrounding area, such as the Sterzing region. For your own safety, please ensure you are accompanied by an experienced mountain guide on these tours.

• After an active day, you can relax in the baths, saunas, and thermal spas of Brixen, Meran, Sterzing, or Reischach.
