Skiing on the Plose – experience the Brixen ski resort

Just a few minutes from the old town rises the Plose, Brixen’s local mountain and one of the most beautiful ski areas in the Dolomites. Over 40 kilometers of slopes lead through an open, sunny mountain landscape – with views that extend far beyond the Eisack Valley. Whether gentle slopes or challenging descents, everyone can find their pace here. And if you want to relax after skiing in Brixen, stop off at one of the huts and enjoy typical South Tyrolean specialties.

Sledding fun for the whole family

Whether fast-paced or leisurely, sledding in Brixen promises pure winter fun. The region offers a variety of trails, from short natural sledding tracks to long alpine descents. The Rudi Run, one of the longest toboggan runs in South Tyrol, is particularly popular. Families also appreciate the leisurely routes such as the Ackerboden–St. Leonhard natural toboggan run or the family toboggan run at the Mair in Plun Hütte – all with fantastic views of South Tyrol’s snow-covered winter landscape.

Snowshoeing & winter hiking – enjoying nature in the Eisack Valley

Those seeking winter tranquility will find it on the winter hiking trails around Brixen. Popular destinations such as the Lüsner Alm, the Villnösstal valley, or the high-altitude trails on the Plose lead through snow-covered forests and across glistening alpine pastures, offering impressive panoramic views of the Dolomites. Whether you choose a snowshoe hike across the Lüsner Alm or a winter hike on the circular trail from the ski hut to Kreuztal, here you can experience the peaceful, unspoiled side of South Tyrol.

Cross-country skiing in the Eisack Valley – gliding through the silence of the Dolomites

Between Lüsen, Vals, and the Würzjoch Pass, there are cross-country trails that gently wind through the landscape. Well-groomed, sunny, and with views of the Dolomites, they are among the most beautiful in the Eisack Valley. Whether athletic or leisurely, cross-country skiing around Brixen combines exercise with mindfulness. Thanks to the connection to the Dolomiti Nordic Ski network, the largest cross-country skiing carousel in Europe, you can experience the full diversity of South Tyrolean winter.
