Holidays in Dobbiaco

Dobbiaco, the gateway to the Dolomites, offers a wonderful view of the legendary Drei Zinnen (Three Peaks), a paradise for hikers and mountain-lovers. In summer and winter alike the picturesque landscape offers countless ways of enjoying an active and pleasurable holiday. In addition to the wide range of sporting activities, its cultural variety makes the Alta Pusteria well worth seeing and experiencing. The famous Gustav Mahler Weeks or the International Choir Festival are just some of the many cultural highlights that await you on your holiday in Dobbiaco.

Hiking and alpinism: from beginners just starting out, to the more expert alpinists, all mountain lovers spend their holidays in Hochpustertal. With a hike or a climb in Toblach, both you and your family will be the stars of spectacular adventures amidst the nature. You will breathe the fresh mountain air, while enjoying breath-taking views of the Dolomites. Mountain tops like Sarlkofel (Monte Serla) or the Pfannhorn (Corno di Fana) of Toblach, extraordinary rock formations like the Three Peaks (Tre Cime di Lavaredo), or themed paths, like the Nature Path, which surrounds the Lake of Toblach, provide entertainment for both families with children, and fearless climbers.

Cycling and Mountain biking: as far as a holiday to Toblach, Hochpustertal, goes, in addition to hiking, another undisputed star activity is cycling. The most passionate sports men and women certainly push themselves to their limits on their mountain bikes, while the less experienced holidaymakers and the families can leisurely explore the valley on the saddles of their bikes. We are talking of the Pustertaler Bike Track, part of the famous Drava Bike Track, and certainly not to be missed. For the more daring, we suggest instead the Giro Bike-Tour, or the Stoneman-Trail.

Cross-country skiing and downhill skiing: 1,300 km of ski runs! Yes, you got it right! Toblach and Hochpustertal are part of the largest downhill skiing resort of Europe, known as Dolomiti Nordicski.

In Toblach, you will find runs like the Toblach Lake circuit, the tour around the town, the War Cemetery tour, and many more, with loads of fun to be had for adults and children alike. And how can we forget the downhill skiing sports centre of Nordic Arena?
