Nature awakening between green meadows and white Dolomite peaks.
A delight for couples, families and those seeking peace.
When the first warm rays of sunshine touch the valley, one of the most beautiful seasons begins in the South Tyrolean Pustertal: spring. Nature awakens to new life — lovely crocuses adorn the meadows, later followed by blossoming alpine pastures full of colour and fragrance. This awakening of nature is an invitation to experience our holiday region actively — on foot, by bike, or in peaceful togetherness.
The Gsieser Tal, also known as the valley of alpine pastures, is a true insider tip for hikers. Here, gentle trails, pristine landscapes and rustic huts await you. Whether you prefer an easy family walk or an extended tour, hiking in the Gsieser Tal and the sunny village of Taisten lets you experience the full beauty of spring.
A spring excursion to Pragser Wildsee is an absolute must. Nestled among the still snow-capped Braies Dolomites, the lake shimmers emerald green in the sunlight, inviting you to a romantic circular walk. Equally fascinating is the Plätzwiese, a sunny plateau with a magnificent Dolomite panorama, where alpine meadows bloom and crisp mountain air creates unforgettable moments.
In addition to hiking, numerous paths invite you to explore by bike or e-bike, leading through green valleys, along babbling streams and up to sunny alpine pastures – perfect for anyone who loves being active outdoors. A special experience awaits you at the Sonnenhof in Pichl, where you can discover the landscape on horseback and feel nature with all senses.
In spring, the cultural heart of Taisten also awakens to new life. The Church of St. George, bathed in the first warm sunlight, makes for a particularly atmospheric destination for lovers of art and history. Inside, the detailed frescoes by Simon von Taisten — one of South Tyrol’s most important late Gothic painters — tell biblical stories full of expression, colour and depth. Visitors can pause for a moment to sense the harmony between the awakening nature outside and the spiritual atmosphere within — a unique union of culture, nature and tranquillity.
Spring in the Pustertal is ideal for a romantic getaway or for anyone searching for rest and relaxation. Peaceful walks along lakeshores, quiet moments in nature and the shared wonder of the colourful blossoms create long-lasting memories. Away from the crowds, you can enjoy soothing silence, fresh mountain air and genuine South Tyrolean hospitality.
In early summer, the slopes glow crimson as the alpine roses bloom. Fresh herbs from the farm gardens add special flavour to regional dishes. With that, each day becomes a small culinary discovery journey.
Easter is a magical time here: traditional customs, festive moods and the awakening of nature make this holiday unforgettable for families, couples and anyone seeking serenity.
Make your spring dreams come true — experience the scent of flowering meadows, the rebirth of nature and moments that stay with you.
We, the families of the Pustertaler Ferienbauernhöfe, look forward to welcoming you!
