Summer Holidays in the Gsieser Tal & the Sunny Village of Taisten
Hiking, Cycling & Culture.
Discover the Dolomites with Family, Friends or as a Couple
A summer with us, the hosts of the Pustertaler Ferienbauernhöfe, means nature, adventure and relaxation altogether. Between the majestic peaks of the Dolomites, the wide alpine meadows of the Gsieser Tal and the sunny panoramic setting of the idyllic village of Taisten, you will find a holiday world that offers something for every taste – for families with children, active couples, sporty groups and anyone seeking peace and quiet.
Active Holidays in the Mountains
Hiking trails lead from gentle valley routes to traditional alpine huts and panoramic summits – perfect for leisurely walks or more demanding tours. Those who prefer exploring on two wheels will find an extensive network of cycle paths and mountain-bike routes. With an e-bike, even longer tours can be enjoyed with ease. Adventurous guests can try their hand at climbing, while riding enthusiasts can experience nature up close on guided horseback excursions.
Modern cable cars and lifts
A comfortable start to the mountain experience is guaranteed thanks to the many cable cars and lifts throughout the Pustertal. Modern gondolas and chairlifts transport guests quickly and effortlessly to higher altitudes – ideal for beginning hikes, (e-)bike tours or relaxed strolls without a long ascent. Whether Kronplatz, Helm or Rotwand – the mountain lifts offer direct access to panoramic trails, family-friendly alpine routes and impressive summit tours, making the mountain summer enjoyable for all generations.
A paradise for little adventurers
For younger visitors, almost every village offers varied playgrounds that invite children to run, climb and explore in the heart of nature. A special highlight is the Kinderwelt in Olang – a spacious adventure park with climbing towers, suspension bridges, water and sand play areas, and woodland adventure trails.
Water experiences for the whole family
Summer in the Hochpustertal is not only about varied hikes and cycle tours, but also refreshing water experiences. Natural bathing lakes and outdoor pools in the surrounding area offer the perfect place to cool off on hot days and enjoy the fresh mountain air. A particular highlight is the Kneipp trail along the Rudlbach in Taisten – with its cold-water pools, streams and water stations providing invigorating refreshment and moments of mindful pause. It is a revitalizing experience for body and mind that delights visitors of all ages.
Places of Interest & Culture
The Hochpustertal not only offers unforgettable nature experiences but also a wealth of cultural highlights. One particular landmark is Welsperg Castle, an impressive 12th-century fortress that brings history to life. A variety of museums invite you to explore further – from traditional farmsteads and regional craftsmanship to modern exhibitions focusing on the nature and culture of the Dolomites.
For All Generations
Whether it is children discovering new adventures while playing in the meadows, couples wandering through the forests at sunset, or groups conquering mountain peaks together – the Hochpustertal blends activity with relaxation in perfect harmony.
Look forward to an unforgettable summer holiday with the families of the Pustertaler Ferienbauernhöfe.
We warmly welcome you.
