Winter retreat:
your active holiday in South Tyrol

During the colder months, your active holiday in Val Venosta is all about the perfect contrast between movement in crisp winter air and deeply restorative Spa time afterwards.

Winter & snowshoe hiking: extended tours on the mild terraces of Monte Sole or routes through dense forests, with complimentary Salewa and Leki equipment from the test centre
Skiing & ski touring: relaxed slope days in Val Senales, Watles, Solda all’Ortles and Schwemmalm, plus untouched ascents for ski tourers in the side valleys
Tobogganing & ice skating: fast-paced fun on the region’s natural toboggan runs and prepared ice rinks for elegant laps on skates
Culture & strolling: trips to traditional Christmas markets and shopping beneath Merano’s historic arcades, plus small Advent markets in mountain villages
Wellness reset: after all that winter fun, head straight into the warmth of the Piris sauna worlds

Frequently asked questions – and honest Piris answers

Do we need to bring all our own sports and hiking equipment?

Not at all. Our premium test centre lets you borrow ergonomic Salewa backpacks, Leki telescopic poles and sturdy hiking boots free of charge. More than 40 MAXX bikes are also available: city bikes and hardtails free of charge, e-bikes, and full-suspension bikes for a fair fee.

Can children and dogs join the activities?

Absolutely! Archery outings or rides on the Alpin Bob Merano 2000 are highlights for the whole family. Many hiking routes are also perfect for adventures on four paws with your dog – just remember the local leash and muzzle requirements.

How reliable is the active-holiday weather for mountain bikers and hikers?

Val Venosta is blessed with around 300 days of sunshine a year. That makes almost every day a good day for sport.
