Activities & Sport

ON THE PISTES OF SOUTH TYROL

The Hotel & Spa Sonnenparadies is located directly beside the pistes of the Sun Lift in Terento. This is where pleasure skiers and less experienced skiers find a pleasant slope to explore. The Sun Lift also offers night skiers the option to go skiing late at night. Those that find it too quiet can head over to the pistes on the Kronplatz.

KRONPLATZ

The Kronplatz is without a doubt South Tyrol’s no. 1 ski resort and with its 119 kilometres of slopes is just right for every skier. Whether steep slopes and the Fun Park for experienced ski pros, or family-friendly downhill runs for beginners and pleasure skiers – you’re sure to find it all. There’s no lack of eateries for an in-between snack or to round off the day with a bit of après-ski.

SPEIKBODEN

The Ski area Speikboden in the Puster Valley has 38 km of pistes and 7 modern lift installations. Freestylers and snowboarders can have their fun in the Fun Park, while children and beginners are taken care of by professional ski instructors at the ski school.

KLAUSBERG

The Klausberg ski and hiking area offers 30 km of pistes with guaranteed snow for skiers of all levels. Here, pros and pleasure skiers alike find everything they could want for a perfect day out on the pistes.

CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING - TOWARDS THE SUN

Bright sunshine awaits all skiers in the sunny village of Terenten. In Terenten and Pfalzen there are three cross-country tracks with a length of 12 km. The natural snow track on the sunny plateau offers easy and intermediate runs for diagonal as well as skating techniques, which start right at the village, affording a unique view of the Dolomites. A cross-country ski rental is available directly in Pfalzen.  Cross-country skiers will find various cross-country skiing areas of the Dolomiti-Nordicski-Karusell right near Terenten, which can be easily reached by cross-country bus.

SKI TOURING – LEAVE YOUR OWN TRAIL

For those that prefer less hustle and bustle and that want to enjoy the tranquillity of nature, we recommend a ski tour into the mountains that surround Terento. There are many tours to offer. Steep or long – on the sunny high plateau ski, tourists are sure to find a tour that suits their tastes. The effort to get to the mountaintop makes the view of the Dolomites even more enjoyable, while pristine slopes invite you for an enjoyable downhill run.

SKI RENTAL FALZES

Winter sports guest enjoy all the amenities at Falkensteiner Hotel & Spa Sonnenparadies. Instead of travelling with your complete ski equipment you can easily rent your sports equipment during your stay from our local partner in Pfalzen.

SNOW-COVERED SOUTH TYROL

Terento is also blessed with many hours of sun in the winter, which makes winter hiking a true joy. The snow-covered landscape around Terento invites visitors to discover South Tyrol on foot. Whether on snowshoes, in winter boots, or on a toboggan – whatever you decide for yourself, the winter in South Tyrol is sure to enchant you.

Snowshoe hiking

Snowshoe hikers enjoy the same privilege as ski tourists. They decide on their route themselves and make their own trail through the fresh snow. From Terento, you have destinations and mountain peaks in all directions, away from the hustle and bustle of the pistes. This is where you can take a deep breath, become more aware of yourself and your surroundings, and enjoy the stunning panoramas.
Once a week we accompany our guests on guided snowshoe hikes. You can rent snowshoes at our Hotel & Spa Sonnenparadies.

Winter hiking

Even in the winter, the prepared hiking trails allow for extended walks or hikes through the snowy landscape of South Tyrol. You can even take your toboggan with you on some of the hikes and enjoy a fun downhill toboggan run.

Tobogganing

Tobogganing is the perfect winter sport for all those winter grouches. Terento has several popular toboggan runs. Once you’ve arrived on the top, you’ll be rewarded with a hut with delicious food, and the panorama alone is worth all the trouble. Moonlight tobogganing in the dark of the night, when only the moon and headlamps show you the way to the hut, is a very special experience. As part of our winter activity programme, we also accompany our guests into the mountains for tobogganing.

PUSTER VALLEY GREENS

The nine golf courses in South Tyrol are among the most beautiful golf courses in Italy. The greens are well looked-after and meet the requirements of even the most passionate golfers. Tremendous golfing awaits visitors on the greens of these alpine mountains, surrounded by the breath-taking scenery of the South Tyrolian mountains. The greens in South Tyrol are also perfect for beginners who would like to discover golf for themselves during their holiday in South Tyrol.

The Open Country Course was designed and inserted carefully in this beautiful landscape, which consists partly of woods, open land as well as of wetland, by the two golf architects Alvise Rossi Fioravanti and Baldovino Dassù, winners of several European Tour Events. Brian Jorgensen and Dan Kain, shaper of international reputation, modelled the holes by every trick in the book and were able to bring to bear the whole beauty of the land.
