A Dolomites holiday is the most popular choice when visiting South Tyrol. Travelers can expect Austrian alpine idyll, Italian flair, and warm South Tyrolean hospitality. Beyond the rugged rock faces that are the region’s hallmark, you’ll find beautiful nature parks such as Fanes–Sennes–Braies (with the picturesque Lake Braies) and the Sciliar–Catinaccio Nature Park, the oldest in South Tyrol. Europe’s largest alpine plateau, the Seiser Alm, is also located here.

Options for an active break are everywhere: trekking, climbing, horseback riding, golf, and mountain biking in spring, summer, and autumn. In winter, the region offers excellent conditions for cross-country skiing, tobogganing, and of course alpine skiing. Popular farm stays and modern accommodations in the Dolomites also ensure a relaxing holiday.
