Dreamy winter outdoor days
Enjoy winter to the fullest in the Stelvio National Park
In South Tyrol in winter, there is much more to discover than just the ski slopes. While hiking, cross-country skiing, and ski touring, you'll discover idyllic landscapes and enjoy the tranquility. There's fun for the whole family with sledding, building snowmen, or having a spontaneous snowball fight in front of the hotel when it has freshly snowed. With all activities, though, there's also the anticipation of warming up afterwards in our new wellness area!
In Trafoi and the Ortler region, you also have the chance to walk silently through the snow. Whether on beautiful, groomed trails or with snowshoes through untouched deep snow – hiking in winter lets you experience nature in its quiet, unspoiled form. If you wish, you can borrow snowshoes for free at our hotel and start your snowshoe hike to the Stelvio National Park directly from the hotel.
Relive your best winter childhood memories with a thrilling toboggan ride! The nearest toboggan run is just 400 meters from Hotel Madatsch. You can borrow a toboggan for free, and off you go! While the snow sparkles in the sun, both young and old enjoy a thrilling slide down the hill.
Ski touring in Trafoi lets you experience the mountain in a way that few other winter sports can match. The strenuous ascent is rewarded with a magnificent descent, offering a view of Ortler. Ski tours in the Ortler region are especially popular with passionate and experienced ski tourers because the routes present a real challenge and provide plenty of variety. They can be done on your own or with the guidance of the experienced local alpine school guides.
