Exploring the Val Pusteria on a mountain bike

Cyclists and mountain bikers will find that picturesque Valle di Casies offers intriguing trails aplenty. Some of the most spectacular routes are a whiff from our 4-star hotel, while the paths to fantastic mountain pastures start directly on our doorstep. The 42-km cycle path leading from Monguelfo/Welsberg along the Casies/Gsieser brook to Hotel Magdalenahof is a big favourite among families.

Paragliding in the Dolomites

As you soar high above the valley, the green pastures embraced by the Dolomites become smaller without losing any of their charm. Do not miss the chance to contemplate South Tyrol’s natural treasures from a bird’s eye view! The local flight school offers kite- and parachute flight classes as well as paragliding tandem flights. Adrenaline, adventure and unforgettable vistas are guaranteed! Flights are also available during the winter season.
