Welcome to the hiking paradise

All around San Candido, hundreds of kilometres of hiking trails lead you through the Dolomites – from gentle family walks to panoramic high-altitude paths. Whether straight from the Residence to Bagni di San Candido, through Val Campo di Dentro to Rifugio Tre Scarperi, or high up to Rifugio Zsigmondy-Comici with views of the Tre Cime – every tour has its own charm.

By the way: there is a wide selection of guided hikes. Contact us! We will be happy to help you with your reservation.

Dolomites Summer

The Dolomites – a landscape that tells stories. Gentle alpine meadows, striking peaks, wide panoramas. Anyone who has ever hiked in the Dolomites quickly realises that these mountains are more than just a backdrop – they are an experience.
If you wish, your journey into this fascinating world begins right outside your door. Whether with children on playful adventure trails, on leisurely alpine hikes or on challenging tours – you will find your own adventure here.
In summer, the trails lead across alpine pastures, past clear mountain lakes and huts. Late summer and autumn bathe the landscape in warm gold and offer clear views – the most beautiful time for connoisseurs.
