Powder snow, crystal-clear air and the majestic tranquillity of the South Tyrolean winter landscape – the Sonnenhof offers the ideal starting point for your group holiday in the cold season. Whether action-packed days on the slopes, relaxing snowshoe hikes through snow-covered forests or fun toboggan runs, your stay will be a winter adventure.
Skiing and snowboarding
The Sonnenhof is located in the immediate vicinity of some of the most popular ski areas in South Tyrol, such as Gitschberg/Jochtal, Plose, Kronplatz, Alta Badia, Gröden, Klausberg and Speikboden, which together offer a wide range of winter sports.
The ski bus takes you directly from the Sonnenhof to the following two ski areas:
- Gitschberg/Jochtal: Enjoy panoramic views and 55 kilometres of slopes on 25 pistes and four slrdge runs. The F-Tech Snowpark is particularly popular with young people and freestylers, with different levels of difficulty to delight everyone.
- Plose: Offers 43 kilometres of pistes and a fantastic view of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Dolomites. Beginners and advanced skiers can make their turns on gentle and challenging slopes. Here you will also find South Tyrol’s longest downhill run (9 kilometres) and the fun-filled Funpark Plose, which provides unforgettable winter fun for skiers and snowboarders on school trips.
