Winter in South Tyrol reveals its face in two fascinating ways. On the one hand there is its vibrant side, with its numerous ski resorts, modern lift facilities and immaculately groomed pistes: but there is also a quieter, less conspicuous side – the “green winter”.
This “green winter” boasts an impressively gentle quality, one that harmonises with nature to offer a soothing and serene experience. Winter such as this invites visitors to take long walks through the snowy landscape, accompanied only by the crunching of snow underfoot. The clear, cold air, the surrounding snow-covered trees and the tracks of deer or hares combine to create an atmosphere of tranquillity. Then, when the sun creates long shadows on the pristine white blanket, the landscape glistens like a sea of crystals.
The green winter can be experienced in many different ways: on gentle forest paths, on snowshoes, up to a summit on touring skis or along trails with cross-country skis. It offers lasting relaxation and unforgettable adventures in the great outdoors – a gentle winter reverie that will stay long in the memory.
