Ski touring in the Braies Dolomites - Alta Pusteria Valley
Going through snowy meadows and woods towards the peaks of the Dolomites, accompanied by nothing other than quiet and harmony. Powdery untouched fresh snow all around you that after the ascent provides the perfect surface for a rapid descent. No doubt about it: ski touring in the Dolomites must be one of the most enjoyable ways of exploring this UNESCO-World Heritage Site and getting away from the madding crowds.
Many different routes
The ski-touring classics in the completely natural Braies Valley include the 2839 metre high Picco di Vallandro and the equally popular Monte Specie at 2307 metres. Both these mountain peaks afford magnificent views and can be reached from Prato Piazza. Ski tourists can also reach the unique plateau on their skis. The Ponticello car park is the starting point of the route to Prato Piazza and is not far from
Hotel Trenker in Braies. The entire Alta Pusteria Valley holiday area in the Dolomites is full of fascinating routes for ski tourists. Really beautiful: if the snow's right, you can start your journey from the doorstep of our hotel in the wintry white Braies Valley!
