A varied active holiday in Val Pusteria – hiking, skiing & more
In love with the mountains – 365 days a year
The village of Dobbiaco is nestled in the heart of the Dolomites, making it an ideal starting point for all kinds of activities: leisurely walks, hiking, cycling, as well as skiing, cross-country skiing, tobogganing, snowshoe hiking, and ski touring. Many of these can be started directly from the farm, and the train station is only 1.5 km away. Buses from there head to Lago di Braies, the Tre Cime, and the nearby ski resorts.
There’s never a dull moment here. And because each season has its own special charm, we’ve put together some of our personal recommendations for you.
relax and recharge your batteries at the Klaudehof.
Nature awakens from hibernation
When the snow melts and the first flowers blossom, it’s time for the first hikes of the year. Even if there is still snow high up, many of the mountain huts are already open in spring. Or get your bike out of its hibernation and look forward to unique cycling tours in pleasant weather conditions. Take it slow and let nature’s awakening sink in: enjoy a coffee break on the farm or on your balcony with a panoramic view.
A relaxed hike through a larch forest, passing the “WaldWunderWelt” (Forest Wonder World). After about 45 minutes, you’ll reach the Drau’s source. From there, you can continue to San Candido to the Monte Baranci valley station and take the bus back. Alternatively, you can turn the trail into a circular hike: pass the Klammschlössl in San Candido and return to Dobbiaco via Costa dei Nosellari.

Green alpine meadows and sunshine galore
Green meadows, rugged mountain peaks and sunshine galore. If you want to get up high, summer is the perfect time. Hiking and climbing enthusiasts now have access to all high-altitude trails. The pleasant summit air is refreshing on hot summer days. Cyclists can also enjoy the cooling breeze while riding. Many routes start directly from the farm, and there’s a bike rental nearby. Whether leisurely or active, one thing is certain: the Dolomite panorama is stunning at every altitude. Essential for hot days: a refreshing dip in one of the mountain lakes or at the natural bathing lake in Dobbiaco. The mild summer evenings invite you to gather around a cosy campfire—a perfect end to a successful holiday day.
A challenging mountain bike tour climbing up to over 2500 metres. But the 360-degree panorama quickly makes you forget the effort. Hungry? The Marchhütte just before the summit is perfect for a well-deserved refreshment stop.

Everything glows with a thousand colours
The warmth of summer is gone and the mild temperatures remain. That’s why autumn is particularly pleasant for hiking and cycling. Lace up your boots or hop on your bike—the last months before winter arrives should be enjoyed to the full. Nature dazzles with its vibrant colours, and the Dolomite panorama glows in a golden light. An eventful day is coming to an end and it is slowly getting dark. If you venture outside around this time, you will be rewarded with a wonderful sight: the starry sky shines particularly brightly here in the mountains.
The popular and easy cycle path passes by Lago di Dobbiaco, the Tre Cime Viewpoint, and Lago di Landro before ascending to Cimabanche. Ride through old railway tunnels and across bridges all the way to Cortina.

Picture-perfect moments
Here, you can still experience a proper winter, just like in a storybook—with lots of snow and sunshine. Perfect for all winter sports enthusiasts. Dobbiaco is the cross-country skiing capital of South Tyrol, offering around 1000 km of trails and excellent slope conditions. The popular ski resorts of Plan de Corones, Monte Baranci, and Monte Elmo are also just a stone’s throw from the farm. When winter hiking or snowshoeing, you can explore the white landscape in complete tranquillity. And for an extra adrenaline boost, you can rent a toboggan in many places and use it for the return leg of your hike.
This relaxed walk through a winter wonderland is a perfect way to unwind from winter sports. Follow the sparkling stream and enjoy the mountain views along the way.
