Rock climbing & via ferrate

The Dolomites on hand - face to face with the majestic “pale mountains". On the Alpe di Siusi and in the surrounding area there are four via ferratas: “Oskar Schuster”, “Maximilian”, “Laurenzi” and “Catenaccio d'Antermonia”. More climbing trails can be found in the nearby Val Gardena and Sella area.

The climbing routes can be engaged only by people who have a background and the necessary experience, or by those who join a guide or mountaineering school. Information regarding the climbing school and hiking guides at the reception!

Paragliding

High above the hills of the largest plateau of Europe. During your adventure holiday on the unspoiled Alpe di Siusi, you can’t miss the opportunity to take an exciting tandem flight. In the Sciliar area there are numerous paragliding teams offering unforgettable experiences. After all, everyone has the desire to fly like a bird. In the heart of the legendary Dolomites, this dream could become reality. For more information please contact the reception.

Golf

As an interesting alternative to your holiday in the mountains, we recommend one or more trips to the 18-hole golf course St. Vigil Seis, just 17 km away. Please pay attention to the times of traffic restrictions.

The golf course is located in a varied landscape, directly at the foot of the Sciliar in the Dolomites. The field is disentangled through the woods and the ground, like a huge, lush green carpet and is enriched with lakes, small waterfalls, streams and idyllic graves, perfectly stuck between the 18 holes.

Jogging & marathon

You are thrilled by running and you are looking for a new sporting challenge? Then the Alpe di Siusi in the Dolomites is the right destination for you. The largest plateau of Europe is a paradise for runners, joggers and professional marathon runners. The 20 clearly marked routes branch off in different lengths and difficulty levels and provide special training. The spectacular scenery of the Dolomites that will accompany you for a total of 180 km is the icing on the cake.
One of the most popular racing events of the Alpe di Siusi is the annual half marathon. This marathon, 21 km long, offers an incomparable experience of nature, and, because of its vertical drop of 601 m, it puts you in front of a real challenge.

Riding & carriage rides

Liberating emotions, relief and relaxation arise during an excursion on horseback immersed in the green, quiet and peaceful Dolomites. While riding on the Alpe di Siusi you can admire the colourful meadows and pastures, dark forests and mountain flowers of the Nature Park Schlern Rosengarten from a different perspective than usual. Enjoy the warm rays of the sun, the healthy and fresh mountain air from the saddle of a horse, the ideal place to relax and surrender to the senses.
