Routes in Alta Pusteria
Monte Elmo
Monte- Elmo (Monte Elmo, 1130-2200 m) - the largest skiing area in the valley, which can be reached by a telly, four chairlifts and three ski lifts. The total length of the routes of Monte Elmo is 21 km, the longest segment is the Helm-Vierschach (4, 8 km). This place is also famous for its distinctive holidays, which usually take place in the winter. The nearest towns are Sesto and San Candido
Croda Rossa
Croda Rossa (1355-2000 m), perhaps the most picturesque area of Alta-Pusteria. Perhaps the whole point is that this ski area is far from the hustle and bustle of the other resorts of the valley. Accordingly, most of the vacationers here are families with children. For them, in Kroda-Rosa, a new ice palace and a toboggan length of 5, 5 km are built every year. A children's playground is like a bonus.
Monte-Baranchi
Monte Baranchi (Monte Baranci, 1175-1610 m) is a small difference in heights, 8 km of uncomplicated trails, slopes for children and one more route for toboggan. The nearest town is San Candido
Dobbiaco
Dobbiaco (1200-1410 m) has an even smaller skiing area than the Monte Baranchi: only 4 km of trails, and the height difference and the more ridiculous is just over 200 meters . But here there is an ideal route for training - Trenker (Trenker). While parents are confidently stuffing bumps from getting acquainted with the skis or the "board", the kid is invited to spend an entertaining hour or two on a special snowfield
Passo-Monte-Croce
Miniature Passo Monte Croce (1656- 1807 m) - this is 1600 meters of medium difficulty routes, which are ready to receive the first skiers since the end of November. Another undeniable plus of this resort - lifts start right from the hotel Kreuzbergpass. The nearest town is the same Sesto
Waldheim
Waldheim (1328-1415 m) can offer its tourists a minimum height difference and 1400 meters of the route. Is it worth saying that this is another ideal place for beginners?
Bryce
Finally, Bryce (Braies, 1433-1666 m) and its 2 km trails with two lifts. There are usually organized groups that do not feed with bread - let's go all together.
Entertainments, excursions and attractions
The main attraction of Alta-Pusteria, which can not be overlooked is three peaks of 3000 m high, which are called - "Three peaks" (Drei Zinnen). In Hohpustertal, you should see the medieval market square with a shameful pillar (which now, of course, no longer fulfills its function), as well as the picturesque Heinfels Castle, nicknamed the Queen of Pustertal, which towers over the old city center.
The church on Lake Bray , which was built in the early 20th century. Here in due time the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife also visited prisoners from the Dachau camp, sent to these places by order of Hitler. 136 of them were executed, including Prussian Prince Leopold, Bishop Johann Neuhauser, etc.
Another church, much older, San Vito, also has an interesting history. It was consecrated right after the construction in 1335, but only in 1704 it received a priest and became a parish. Also notable is the church in Ferrara di Braies in 1735 and its frescoes, which were discovered during the restoration in 1981. In the shadow of the church of San Candido there are buildings that are of no less historical value, and have not changed their appearance since the 16th century. The eastern part dates back to the 10th century, the western part - to the year 1385.
Finally, it's worth looking into the tourism museum in the Wasserman House. In the basement and on the first floor you can see the interior of the rooms of old hotels. A separate room is devoted to early mountaineering in the region. On the second floor visitors will have the opportunity to plunge into the tourist society on the turn of the century. Entrance 3 EUR.
