Romantic Winter as it once was…
Family winter holidays in
a quiet, idyllic location

Winter Fun at the Hotel Zum Hirschen

With its mild winter temperatures, pristine sun-kissed slopes and solitary hiking trails, the Val di Non Valley feels welcoming even in winter. More relaxing pastimes such as soaking up in a hot sauna or bathing in the icy waters of the Lago di Tret lake fit well into the slow pace of life here. 

On the long winter evenings, guests can retire early to their spacious rooms and absorb the special ambience – free from the distractions of the internet. In the more essential “Hospitium” category rooms, contemplation, reflection and introspection are facilitated. With windows looking out on the historic village centre, the Finnish and Bio saunas help soothe the organism, while the adjacent rest-and-relaxation area (with its tea and fruit bar) enhances regeneration.

A selection of inspiring works of literature for guests to peruse in the reading corners or in the WineLounge library. The original veranda with its bistro or the WineLounge, are ideal venues for get-togethers. Wine tastings of local South Tyrolean and Trentino vintages are also regularly held here. On winter afternoons, Ingrid and Erwin also hold culinary demonstrations at the CERVO kitchen, such as how to bake traditional heart biscuits with spelt flour.

Right from our hotel, head out on a relaxing winter hike through the snow-covered terrain on the high plateau. There are also various organised snowshoe hikes from the Val di Non Valley, such as to the Laugenalm mountain pasture or to the Macaion mountain, which are also popular in summer. Covering an idyllic expanse, the eight-kilometre Regole cross-country ski run requires stamina, a good sense of balance and coordination.

Under the gentle winter sun, visiting the surrounding ski areas is well worth it. Frequented destinations include the Schwemmalm in the unspoilt Val d’Ultimo Valley, Merano 2000 above the historic spa town or to the Mendola Pass with its well-organized family ski lift. For even more spectacular views, take a ski tour to the nearby Monte Lucco mountain with fantastic views of Merano and its side valleys. Intrepid adventurers keen on boosting their immune system might care to take a dip in the gelid waters of the Lago di Tret lake. The lake is also favoured by the younger set for its ice skating. Visiting the traditional Christmas markets in the local towns and villages is highly popular in the weeks of Advent. 

Away from the bustling ski areas, you can revel in the peace and tranquillity on the wintery Val di Non with your nearest and dearest. After crossing a larch forest to reach the Felixer Alm refuge, enjoy the downhill sled ride over the snow-covered slope. Plenty of fun is assured for the whole family!

Ulfi Snow Fun Park
Located in the idyllic village of Senale, the Ulfi Fun Park is tailormade for families. Right in the village, kids learn to ski and tobogganing or bobsleighing on the 110 m-long tapis roulant (magic carpet) without having to wait in queues, or without any need for ski schools. Here, it’s all about having fun: enjoying the sun, snow and piping-hot drinks.

In keeping with the spirit of Christmas: self-reflection, congeniality and local traditions receive precedence at the Hotel Zum Hirschen. After Christmas Eve dinner, gifts are arranged on the veranda to the accompaniment of Christmas carols, followed by tea and biscuits, next to the ornate Christmas tree. Our guests, family and staff members gather together to commemorate this joyful annual event.
