Holidays in the Dolomites Region 3 Zinnen

Alpine guides by passion

Being nationally certified mountain and skiing guides for the Alpinschule Südtirol/Alpine School of South Tyrol, the profession of the alpine guide means passion. We call the Dolomites, which are part of the UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE, our home and base camp. This beautiful place and its people have influenced and shaped us. It’s been the breeding ground of the skill set we need being in the mountains, and taking care of our guests. Being experienced mountain and skiing guides we thrive to provide our guests with a very unique bundle of enriching experiences. Our program is diversified and ranges from ski touring, free riding, snowshoe hiking, climbing, hiking, alpine tours to trekking in the Himalaya and the mountains of the world.

Our delicatessen store, 'Flora Gourmet’, located in the pedestrian zone of San Candido, is the only shop for specialties and high-quality food in the Alta Pusteria region. Here, friends of good taste can find excellent products for all occasions and needs. From our hotel kitchen at the Boutique & Gourmet Hotel Orso Grigio, we daily offer fresh Italian pasta as well as dumplings and Schlutzkrapfen from the Tyrolean cuisine. The selection continues with specialties from near and far, Italian delicacies both sweet and savory, and, of course, a highly selective choice of top-quality wines. We are open daily from 09:00 AM until 12:00 PM and from 3:00 PM until 7:00 PM and closed on Mondays.

We walk, accompany and guide with passion and great enthusiasm both in our home mountains, the Dolomites, and in any other mountain area worldwide: tracing wonderful wavy tracks in the snow powder while skiing in winter, wearing our hiking boots in spring to enjoy the lush green valleys and mountain pastures, making some acrobatic moves on the vertical rocks in summer and heading far away towards adventurous trips in autumn.

Activities: excursions, ski touring, mountaineering, climbing, high alpine tours, trekking, expeditions, snowshoeing, day tours, incentives, adventure days for kids, feeling home in the Dolomites and in any other mountain area around the world.

For us bakers it is vital to ensure that traditional recipes and bread varieties are preserved and handed down. We make typical South Tyrolean bread and sweet baked goods, using ancient recipes with a modern twist, as well as creating our own new products. All these items are made fresh every day, using natural sourdough and local ingredients, and with a guarantee of a hundred percent quality.

In times of machines and finished products - where can you still find a bakery in South Tyrol with deep roots that still relies on real craftsmanship and tradition, that kneads, shapes and bakes where the air is still clean and the mountain water is pure?

Since 1954, our family and employees at the Trenker Bakery have been doing what they do best: baking! At an altitude of 1,240 m, in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites, we produce fresh South Tyrolean bread and fine pastries for you every day.

Skiing, snowboarding, freeriding, Fun for Kids, full day ski lessons, ski trips in the Dolomites and much more, is what  we offer in our ski school. You can choose between private lessons or group lessons for children and adults. Our qualified ski and snowboard instructors will take care of you, and make sure  that your ski vacation  in Alta Pusteria will remain  an unforgettable experience for you.

The Carnic mountain ridge appears almost insignificant compared to the stately Dolomite rock towers on the opposite side of the Sesto valley. But this impression is deceiving! From Sesto, you can not only reach the Tre Cime Dolomiti, a popular and panoramic hiking and skiing area, but also the western foothills of a mountain range that stretches for over 100 km, almost to Villach in Carinthia. Interesting detail: The Carnic Alps were formed long before the Dolomites. Numerous fossil finds indicate a turbulent, geological past. However, the mountain range also has great historical importance, as it forms part of the Italian-Austrian border. Those who want to experience a border passing on high tracks can walk from the Monte Elmo peak (2,434 m) past the Helmhaus and along the ridge - with their left foot in Austria and the right one in Italy. This is also the starting point of the popular Carnic high route, also called the "peace route", which leads in eight to eleven days of walking to Arnoldstein in Carinthia.

Deeply under meters of concrete the modern history of the region is being presented in an adventurous way for every age in this bunker active to the very last days of the Cold War.

“DOLOMITES WITHOUT BORDERS” is a unique mountain trail with demanding via ferrata sections that runs, in nine stages covering a total of 108 kilometres, through two countries, along 12 via ferrata and past 17 mountain refuges. It is deeply symbolic, not just from a mountaineering but also from a historical point of view. The route runs partly along old military trails by trenches and galleries from the war, and passes through the areas of Cadore and the Sesto Dolomites in the region of the Three Peaks (Tre Cime di Lavaredo) and as far as the Gail Valley in the Austrian Tyrol. There are also several places where the trail can be accessed: in East Tyrol from the mountaineering villages of Kartitsch and Obertilliach, in Sesto from the Passo Monte Croce Pass, the Prati di Croda Rossa or the Fondovalle Refuge Hut, and in Belluno from the Auronzo Hut, Misurina or the Valgrande near Padola. An adventure for present-day summiteers

Here you can buy bicycles and skis, but also prepare them.     

Don’t look down! This motto is valid not only for who has a bad head of heights, but also for adventurers who climb on rope courses at the adventure park.

The adventure park is situated in Dobbiaco and it is targeted exclusively to beginners and because of that appropriate particularly for families with children. Besides, also experienced climbers won’t get a raw deal. In the adventure park of Dobbiaco there are 10 different courses. Seven of them are excellently suitable for children. The first two are there to familiarize with the security equipment. The following course is about 2 m high and perfect for smaller children. The green and blue courses are all 219 m long and 3–4 m high. Besides, there are also the purple and the red course. They are about 4–6 m high and a bit more difficult. The most difficult course is the black one: it is 8-15 m high. The latest attraction of the course is the new canyon course, with about 40 tricky obstacles.

DOLOMITI SLOWBIKE offers a complete service especially for those, who are exploring the Dolomites and the valley Pustertal by bike: rental station, shuttle bus transfer.

Moreover we offer easy and child-friendly tours for the whole family, but also demanding biketours for professionals.

Dear climber, ...

  ... not the difficulty or the length are decisive for a satisfying mountain tour.
 It is important to know if you recognize the flower, the bird, the rock ... as your friend - only then can you carry your experience in the HEART, not just in the photo.

I would be delighted to personally advise you about the requirements, difficulties of the tour and the equipment in the mountain guide office.

In the past there were only two types of bread: the typical "Breatl" (rye bread made from sourdough) and the "Struze" (white bread). Today the Happacher bakery delights its customers with a large selection of bread and desserts, which can be enjoyed together with a delicious cappuccino in the small café. And pssst... also the best "Schittlbreatl" is available in the traditional bakery since 1955.

The newest part of the village from a settlement point of view is located on a gigantic scree. Only the church, which usually provides the centre of the village, is located on a panoramic hill. It is definitely one of the most beautiful church hills in the region! The parish was devoted to the patron of water St. Nicholas. This saint was often chosen in villages prone to overflowing by raging rivers (ancient German winnen = raging). In 1507 the Prato Drava parish church was first mentioned in a document within the framework of consecration. The traditional rectangular floor-plan of proto-Romanic construction was transformed and renovated in Gothic style around1500. The elegant construction with ogive windows and portal has maintained all its Gothic charm, including the floor-plan, the section with support pilaster and pilaster strips , the triumphal art and the polygonal choir stall. Unfortunately in 1821, the vaults were stripped of their ribs, and only a Coronation of Mary and a representation of the legend of St. Nicholas (approx. 1505) are all that remain of the original frescoes in the Church of Prato Drava. The epitaph of the Klettenhammer family with its architectonic frame dates back to the 17th century. The altars, pulpit and confession boxes that date back to the early 19th century exemplify a unified and extremely rustic Baroque style. A steep path with the Stations of the Cross and four wayside shrines leads to the church hill. The wooden statues in these wayside shrines realised in rustic, realistic Baroque style show scenes from the Passion of Christ: The Mount of Olives, the Flagellation, the Crowning with Thorns, Jesus carrying the Cross; the Crucifixion group located in the graveyard is also of the same genre and period (1700 circa). Visiting hours: The church is only accessible during mass celebrations (during the summer season every day).

The e-bike charging station is located at Gasthof/Albergo Dolomiten a Ferrara Prags/ Braies.

Quality is important ...

Fresh and best ingredients are our top priority. "Purity Law" for bread: For our breads we only use water, flour, yeast and salt. In addition come grains and spices, all natural additives. In our white bread you can find only vegetarian vegetable oil! Baking mixes are taboo, the sourdough is of course set itself                                                  

Amazing trails for every taste. Remote routes through valleys and classic routes, such as the Drava/Drau cycle path and the Val Pusteria/Pustertal cycle path. The ideal, healthy way to enjoy this unrivalled natural scenery.

Quality, Health, Tradition... this is the recipe for success that has helped the Trenker Bakery to become one of South Tyrol’s leading bakery companies.
