We start our ski holiday in Dobbiaco, which is often referred to as the heart of Cross Country Skiing in Italy. We pick you up at the train station in Dobbiaco, with a short transfer to our hotel. Upon settling into your hotel, let’s go for a ski!
This trip allows you time to explore what the Puster Valley can offer the cross country skier, with a base level at 1200m, which runs all the way into Austria, has hundreds of kilometres of trails available to explore on both sides of the border. We will access different villages and plateaus by train, public bus, snow mobile and our own private shuttle bus. Book your ski holiday in Italy with us for an unforgettable alpine adventure.

Buongiorno, welcome to Dobbiaco and the Dolomites. I meet you on the train platform in Toblach/Dobbiaco, with a very short transfer to our hotel. The afternoon allows you time to settle in, explore your surroundings and if needed, hire skis. It is possible to do a gentle warm up on skis before dinner.
Today will see you skiing along the shores of Lake Dobbiaco and up towards the Passo Cimabanche. Enroute we will ski pass a WW1 graveyard and a chance to learn about the history of this area and its role in the conflict between Italy and Austria in 1916-18.
Today will see us skiing in the Val Fiscalina, with incredible views of the Dolomites. There are three conveniently located rifugios to stop off along the trails for a bite to eat. After lunch it is a leisurely gentle ski downhill back to the hotel in the afternoon.
Many options exist, including a day trip into Austria.
We transfer to the San Martino in Val Casies today, via an amazing ski on the high plateau Prato Platzwiese. After our ski we continue our journey and head to our accommodation in Val Casies, San Martino.
Several options present themselves today. Antholz, Sesto. All delightful skis with a choice or terrain to make everyone happy.
We have lots of options today, depending on weather, and snow conditions. There are four valleys to choose from and we will explore one of these each day.
Today we will walk out the door of our hotel, put on our skis and ski to Santa Magdalena, at the head of our valley and ski our local trails back to the hotel.
Today we ski the valley of Casies. A delightful ski from the hotel, down the valley to Welsberg. What is even better, is that there is a bus to take you back up the valley to your hotel.
After breakfast, there will be an opportunity for a morning ski right down to the train station at Welsberg, where I meet you with your luggage and assist you on to the platform. From Welsberg or Bolzano train station you can catch a train to Venice/Milan/Florence/Rome, Germany, Switzerland or Austria.

A Map of our Dobbiaco Ski Holiday
A Google map representation of the route and venues we will be visiting and skiing is below. It is an interactive map, just hover over the skier symbols and letters.

Getting to Toblach-Dobbiaco and return
- Firstly, if you are getting a little confused with place names, that is because in South Tyrol, both German and Italian are spoken, and German is the people’s first language. Every place name is represented by 3 names actually, but Goggle only publishes the German/Italian names. So, moving on.
- We offer support to help you find the correct train to Toblach/Dobbiaco, South Tyrol, Italy from within Italy. Likewise when finishing the trip, exact details of where and when will be given once you are booked on the trip, so you can organise your onward train journey.
- Catching trains in Italy is a fantastic way of seeing the country. The fares are cheap, they run on time and you will see more from a comfortable seat on the train, than from an autostrada with 8 lanes of trucks and cars shooting by you. So please contact me using the details on contact page or via the WhatsApp button at the bottom on the page if you need support.
- I find other train passengers are quite accommodating when they see a person travelling with a large suitcase and a big ski bag. I have found that there is always space for my skis, and I have never had to “check it in” or pay extra.
- If you book about a month ahead you will find that you will have a better chance of securing a discounted seat, rather than just booking on the day. Please see me for tips on some good booking apps.
- We will meet you at Toblach/Dobbiaco train station and assist you to get to our hotel in our minibus.
Pre and post trip support
We can also help in finding a hotel in either Milan or Venice and even with a few ideas of things that you might like to do. Just contact me through the contact page or on the Whatsapp button at the bottom of this page.
