Sarntal Valley/Reinswald
Sarntal Valley is still an insider tip. No wonder, because this valley is not so easy to access. You have to pass an endless series of tunnels and hairpin bends before you reach the heart of the valley.
Once you have arrived there, you’ll find out how family-friendly this far-off area is and how much of its alpine culture it has still been able to conserve. But we have to admit that ski aces may not be very happy in the Sarntal Valley, because the slopes are more suitable for families and epicures.
The view over the surrounding mountains and valleys is really breathtaking. You can see the Dolomites, the Ortler mountain range and the Etsch Valley.
Besides the easy and medium difficult ski runs you will also find family-friendly toboggan-runs. Cross-country skiers, however, will enjoy the beautiful trails around Lake Durnholz. And even alpine touring is possible in this area and the neighboring mountains.
Very popular are also the many opportunities to take a ride on a horse-drawn sleigh. tours. The Haflinger horse breeding is wide-spread in this valley.
