The idyllic Gsies Valley is part of Europe’s largest cross-country skiing carousel, the Dolomiti Nordicski area, with more than 1,300 kilometres of trails covered by one pass. Experience some wonderful adventures in the Dolomites. 42 kilometres of perfectly groomed trails start directly at Fontis, which are maintained to the highest standard every day, in the Gsies Valley.
SKIING

Downhill fun

Just three kilometres away, there is a small, sunny mountain lift with its own ski school in St. Magdalena. Ideal for skiing for kids, beginners and families. The Gsies Valley is also the best base for ski trips to the Kronplatz or to the 3 Zinnen ski region in the Dolomites, which offers excellent views.
SNOW SHOE & WINTER HIKING

A true winter fairy tale

The Gsies Valley, at 1,400 m above sea level, has a generous covering of snow every year. Hike through the peaceful forest on the marked hiking trails and experience the unspoilt atmosphere of nature in all its majesty. Stomping through the magical winter world in snow shoes is a particularly romantic experience. 
TOBOGGANING

Glide over the snow on a sledge

Even in the winter, most mountain lodges and mountain huts in the Gsies Valley and the surrounding area are staffed and open. The access routes to the huts are perfect for long winter hikes and for adventurous toboggan descents in the cold season.
