Hello, ski-in/ski-out à la South Tyrol!
The best time of the year? Winter!
Winter wraps the Valle Isarco/Eisacktal and Val Pusteria/Pustertal valleys – and their majestic mountain landscapes – in a velvety white. Crystals dance in the sunlight, snowflakes sparkle with promise. Right outside the doors of Sonnenberg, your winter fairy tale begins – where the slope runs directly past the hotel. Simply strap on your skis and glide off. No slope is too far, no summit unreachable. This is deluxe ski-in/ski-out in South Tyrol.
Boundless freedom on a skiing holiday in Meransen
From your first turn to the last ray of sunshine, the magic of winter is with you. Rio Pusteria/Gitschberg Jochtal ski area offers 55 kilometres of slopes and 15 lifts – impeccably groomed and perfect for all skill levels. Snow crunches beneath your skis, cold mountain air brushes your cheeks with a rosy glow. From the ski lift, your eyes sweep across snow-covered peaks to the Dolomites. You think to yourself: “We made the right choice!” There’s no better place for a skiing holiday than Meransen.
How far is it to the slope? In Meransen, your hotel is right on the slope. No queues for the first descent – let others wait. We believe: This is skiing in its purest form. And for those wishing to refine their skills or learn the basics, the Meransen ski school is your ideal partner on the path to graceful turns.
Away from the slopes, the enchanted winter landscape unfolds among the South Tyrolean mountains. Step by step on snowshoes through untouched nature, following tracks in the snow. Silence surrounds you, broken only by the soft crunch of your steps.
The toboggan run in Meransen, the Brimi Winter Run, winds its way over six kilometres from the starting point to the finish, making it one of the longest runs in the region. Your children’s laughter echoes through the crystal-clear air as you whizz down the mountain together.
Winter hiking trails lead you to the most beautiful viewpoints in the region. In the calm of the landscape, you’ll feel the grounding power of winter. And sometimes, especially in the colder season, slow is simply perfect – don’t you think?
Far away from the hustle and bustle, adventure beckons. With touring skis you ascend unspoilt peaks, every step a promise of freedom. Sweat beads on your forehead, your skis glide in rhythm – you become one with nature.
For those who crave thrills, winter has its own highlights. Looking for variety after a few days of ski-in/ski-out in South Tyrol? Try ice climbing on frozen waterfalls – crampons crunch, every axe strike is precise, every hold a challenge. The region’s ice climbing gardens offer routes for both beginners and pros.
Christmas magic in Meransen from your hotel to the slopes
The Advent season sparkles with fragrant scents and glowing lights. At South Tyrol’s Christmas markets, charming stalls and twinkling decorations awaken the spirit of the season. The scent of cinnamon and mulled wine drifts through the streets of Brixen, Sterzing, Bruneck, Bolzano, and Merano, while artisanal crafts and regional delicacies tempt every passer-by.
At Sonnenberg, we treasure the magic of the Advent season. A tall Christmas tree sparkles in the lobby, candlelight flickers, and the scent of freshly baked biscuits fills the air. On Christmas Eve, chef Martin and the Sonnenberg culinary team treat you to an extraordinary menu. The mountains wear their finest winter coat, familiar melodies drift through the air, and stillness settles in.
New Year’s Eve at 1,450 metres above sea level
As the old year draws to a close, the new one begins with a firework of emotions. After a laid-back day on the slopes – because ski-in/ski-out in South Tyrol is too good to miss – it’s time to raise the glass to special moments. How about a few cosy hours at the Sonnenberg Spa before the big party?
In the evening, the restaurant is transformed into a festive space. At the gala dinner you can enjoy exquisite creations, and live music accompanies you into the first hours of the new year, while outside the sky lights up in a thousand colours. A glass of Champagne in your hand, your gaze on the starlit valley – magical moments that will remain in your memory.
