Winter Holidays on the farm in Feldthurns

Snowshoeing

Far away from the rapid ski descents and lively toboggan runs there is another, much quieter side of this wintery scenery to enjoy; snowshoeing is the magic word. Equipped with snow shoes and hiking poles get yourself on one of the many trails to an unforgettable experience in the beautiful winter of the South Tyrolean mountains. As your body gets more and more tired your mind feels more and more relaxed. Your mind is in harmony with nature and comfortable and relaxed as you wander into the winter sun. Snowshoeing is suitable for both young and old and provide a healthy mount of exercise and furthermore allows you to take in as much of the surroundings as possible.

Refuge Brugger Schupfe

Do you want to go snowshoeing without distinct steep inclines but still in great surroundings? That is also available in our area. Go from the forest path (route 1) over sun-soaked slopes to Brugger Schupfe. Keep to the wooded path until you reach an area of mountain pastures. The view over the mountains of the Geisler range as well as the dolomites will inspire you. The way back is over 14B past Brugger Schupfe and then further onto the 14 back to the Kühhof car park.

Mountain Königsanger

Whoever isn’t wary of a medium difficulty 4 hour walk should carefully consider the route from Kühhof to Königsanger. Above Latzfons, from the starting point of Kühhof and then you’re off. First, follow the forest path until you hit a steeper forest road to Wetterkreuz. You’ll reach the alpine meadows within 45 minutes. Over steep areas and largely unmarked routes, head in a mostly north easterly direction to the destination of Königsanger Mountain at 2436m. The hike/ski tour is also possible from Garn (1411m).

Tobogganing

While the Feldthurn and Latzfons alpine meadows attract visitors with their colourful flowers, they’re also impressive in winter with beautiful snowy scenery. A particular highlight of this region is the selection of toboggan runs which don’t just set children’s hearts racing. Treat yourself and your family to this great winter fun adding tobogganing in through the snow into the equation.

Refuge Brugger Schupfe
