In July: Dolomiti Superbike

It’s the most challenging MTB race in South Tyrol. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of that, every year more than 4,000 mountain-bikers, experts and amateurs, participate in the Dolomiti Superbike in Niederdorf – Villabassa.
Over the long or short distance, up and down hundreds and thousands of metres, in-midst the impressive landscape of the Dolomites. This race is truly legendary!

Christmas Markets in South Tyrol

The smell of biscuits, mulled wine and regional specialties creates a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. The historic centre of Bruneck – Brunico will be tastefully illuminated for the magical Christmas markets. The alpine flair of Innichen – San Candido invites to the “Christmas in the Dolomites” in-midst Dolo-myths and beautiful men carved into tree stumps.
