Cross-country Skiing - Dobbiaco NEW
Dobbiaco, a picturesque village nestled in the Puster Valley, is ideally located to explore the spectacular scenery of the Dolomites. The astounding choice of the cross-country trails and fascinating mix of Austrian and Italian influences in the architecture, food and lifestyle, make this a justifiably popular destination.

Cross-country skiing is suitable for anyone of reasonable fitness and can be
enjoyed by people of all ages. We have two levels that you
can choose from at Seefeld.
Beginners
Dobbiaco is ideal for beginners who will enjoy the wide variety of local gentle slopes which stretch for many kilometres along the wide floor of the Puster Valley. Easy practise slopes include a trip to Dobbiaco’s frozen lake and the short trail along the River Rienza to the pretty village of Villabassa. A longer trail, the ‘SunTrack’ makes a spectacular journey along the valley to pretty San Candido and beyond.

The Sesto Valley offers undulating trails through typical stunning Dolomite scenery and the high Plätzweise plateau offers superb skiing at an altitude of 2000m.
