What can you do in the Ahrntal?

There is a wealth of ways to experience winter in all its glory. The main thing is that you like to be outside in the snow and the fresh winter air. Wrapped up warm, you will discover the high alpine side of South Tyrol while snowshoeing, winter hiking or on a ski tour in the Rieserferner-Ahr Nature Park, which reveals itself in the valley of the three-thousand-metre peaks, for example during a snowshoe hike to the Kofleralm . Tobogganing is an essential part of a successful family programme. On 8 great toboggan runs with a total length of 36 kilometres, you can really pick up some speed. Every Wednesday, you can enjoy the 10-kilometre-long descent from Speikboden to Luttach on a guided toboggan run, or you can conquer it yourself, as on the sled run in Weißenbach. The small ski areas of Rein in Taufers and Weißenbach are particularly family-friendly. Are you a thrill-seeker? Then try ice climbing at one of the numerous frozen waterfalls - with the help of experienced guides, you can take part in taster courses as well as more difficult routes. Back from your expedition through the wintry world of Ahrntal, it is worth taking a closer look at local folk art, such as in the Marantha Nativity Museum, or you could let yourself be enchanted by the treasures of the mountains in the Mineral Museum. The villages of the region await you with family-run shops, where local artisans and producers offer unique creations and homemade products.

Culinary moments on the heights

This much action in the snow can work up an appetite. It is good that the Ahrntal is not only the valley of the three-thousand-metre peaks, but around 30 open alpine huts and ski huts can be found at all altitudes. Enjoy pasta with signature Speck Alto Adige PGI, dumplings on coleslaw or hearty meat specialties from the grill, and finish off with a serving of Kaiserschmarrn or warm apple strudel that will get you grinning from ear to ear. The traditional alpine and ski huts have enticing outdoor areas to use when the sun is shining, as well as cosy parlours to warm up in, plus a varied menu filled with typical local dishes. Every Wednesday afternoon from January to March 2025, the Ski & Cheese Event will take you from hut to hut with ski instructors for cheese tasting, where you can learn more about delicious cheese specialities from cheese sommeliers. Or you can enjoy some small appetisers – as you sail up above the winter landscape – in the floating aperitif on the Speikboden.

Produced in the Ahrntal, enjoyed locally

Would you like a slice of spicy grey cheese? A hand-carved nativity scene? Or a bobbin lace quilt? You will find a wide range of local, high-quality foods and handcrafted articles for daily use and art in the Ahrntal valley, as in the rest of South Tyrol. Ahrntal valley farmers have dedicated themselves in particular to producing cheese. Grey cheese was even awarded the highest possible award “Presidio” by Slowfood and at the Travel Food Award the Ahrntal received the award "Best Food and Wine Event Italy 2023" with its gray cheese. Lots of producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and get to know the producers. Lace-making and woodcarving have an important meaning here. In the past, handicrafts secured the valley’s economic existence.

There has been a long tradition of making things yourself in South Tyrol. High quality and durability are the primary factors, which are achieved through the use of proprietary manufacturing techniques and high-quality raw materials. This allows us to create products that are only available here.

Sand in Taufers/Campo di Tures

Sand in Taufers at the beginning of the Ahrntal is the largest of the eight villages – and also the busiest. As you get to the end of the valley, the villages become more manageable and quiet. However, you will be happy to receive everywhere.

The toboggan runs in the valley guarantee sport and fun, and moonlight tobogganing is simply unforgettable! There is also a change of a visit for young and old at Snow & Fun Park Tamarix in Mühlwald, which lures with a 237-metre-long magic carpet and an illuminated slope.&
