Hiking
With approx. 530 km of hiking and forest paths, our holiday region is a true hiking paradise for young and old. Walk through idyllic alpine meadows and dense forests to rustic mountain huts and crystal clear lakes, climb the peaks of the Latemar and the Catinaccio – once you reach the summit, you’ll be rewarded by a breathtaking view of the Dolomites. Right in front of our hotel many hiking paths wind through unspoilt nature landscapes, inviting you to go on splendid hiking tours in the mountains.
Twice a week our John and hiking guide Karin show you beautiful hiking tours (Lift tickets not included) through the wonderful nature of the Val d’Ega and answer your questions about the fauna, flora, history and geology of this area.

Ready for new mountain adventures?
Mountain bike & e-bike
Panoramic forest paths, flowing single trails, exciting bike slopes and beautiful natural landscapes make the Val d’Ega a bike paradise par excellence. Many lift facilities and easy alternative routes enable even less trained cyclist and children to enjoy a great experience on two wheels in the heart of nature. A special highlight is the Latemar Circuit on MTB, also suitable for families.
Several times a week you can also take part in guided MTB tours with the expert bike guides of the Bike School Val d’Ega.
Climbing
Who always wanted to feel the edgy, pale rock formations of the Dolomites under his own hands, has definitely to climb in the area of Latemar and Catinaccio – on via ferratas and routes for beginners and professionals.
The fixed rope routes of the Val d’Ega run along rock walls and penetrate deep into the mountain world of the Dolomites, leading over gullies and boulder fields up to the mighty rock towers and many a mountain peak – top work!
High Ropes Course a Obereggen
Be like Tarzan on an adventure through the woods around Obereggen: the forest high-ropes course offers plenty of fun swinging through the trees, defying gravity and enjoying new challenges.
You can start your climbing career at the valley station of the Obereggen lift: the forest high-ropes course there offers four different levels with no fewer than 30 stations waiting to be mastered. Negotiating swings, wooden bridges and suspended tree trunks, high wire acrobats can leap from tree to tree!
Riding
Fairy tales come true while riding in the Angerlealm riding stable. Feel like once King Laurin and gallop majestically through the landscape of South Tyrol and the Dolomites. The trained riding instructors Giovanni and Monika will gladly accompany you on horseback rides through the unique Dolomites World Heritage Site at the foot of the Catinaccio. You can get the necessary practice at riding courses in the riding hall.
