We have to admit, we can't imagine a more beautiful winter scene than here in our Seiser Alm holiday region. The largest alpine pasture in Europe, which is part of the oldest nature park in South Tyrol namely the Schlern Rosengarten, is simply a sight to behold when covered in deep snow. Magnificent landmarks such as the Langkofel, Plattkofel and Schlern dominate the mountain landscape and ensure that every activity – whether cross-country skiing, ski tours, skiing, snowboarding, sledging or snowshoeing – is an unforgettable experience. The gateway to the Dolomites is simply breathtaking.
