Accommodation
Tschurtschenthaler Hotel *** hotel
This fine hotel has been welcoming our groups for many years. The attractive building is traditionally styled, but with the advantages of a small swimming pool, a sauna, and a beauty treatment room (treatments not included). An ample buffet breakfast prepares us for the exertions of the day ahead. The excellent evening meals draw equally on Italian and Austrian traditions. After dinner you can relax in the lounge or go through to the bar for a drink with the locals. Single, double and twin-bedded rooms all have shower and w.c. and are comfortably furnished.
Food
All breakfasts and 7 evening meals included.
Reality Check
All active winter holidays involve some element of risk, from something as normal as slipping on icy pavements, to the possibility of injuries sustained as a result of the activities themselves. While we do all we can to minimize any dangers, participants must be prepared to accept some risk as part of the holiday.
Alpine Skiing Information Many ski areas are easily accessible from Dobbiaco, including Plan de Corones and Cortina D'Ampezzo, each offering a wide selection of alpine skiing possibilities. Only a 10-minute bus journey away, San Candido and Versciaco have 53km of downhill slopes for all skiing levels. Alpine skis can be hired in Dobbiaco for approximately EUR20 per day.

Icons explained
We offer a selection of our most popular trips as private departures - look out for the icon throughout the website - where you can enjoy your trip exclusively with your partner, close friends or family. The itineraries are guided and usually the same as one of our group holidays, but we operate them for a minimum of just two people. Departure dates are scheduled on these trips, however all are subject to availability.
