Because Mum's always the best

Passengers are on board, the flame is lit, the hot air balloon takes off--and the adventure begins. The view of the mountains leaves you breathless! Lots of anecdotes regarding the magnificent territory flown over and about the hot air balloon and its flying techniques. Upon landing, an Aerostatic Baptism ceremony awaits you and a personalized Dolomite First Flight Certificate is awarded to each passenger.

When the sun disappears behind the mountains, the most beautiful colours appear on the horizon. Learn how to take the perfect snap of the sunset in this photography session with a professional (Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2018). And hike as you do so to a spectacular viewing point...

Gain an insight into South Tyrol’s oldest culture, one of Rhaeto-Romanic roots, which has had a lasting influence on the local culture and way of life. In the Val Gardena and Val Badia valleys you will see typical buildings, hear the Ladin language, and get a sense of the originality of these people and their enduring bond with the mountains.

Even just an intention to draw something requires you to take a very close look at it. Discover nature through drawing together with the artist Peter Senoner, and find out for yourself what effect even small changes in perspective can have. So grab your pencil, open your eyes - and off you go!

Markus Holzer is not only a chef with a passion for pasta - he is also the landlord of the Jora refuge at the foot of the Rocca dei Baranci or Haunold mountain. And there with him, you will be able to conjure up all sorts of delicious and unusual pasta dishes such as nettle ravioli or juniper fusilli, using ingredients from South Tyrol. And then of course sample them with the appropriate wine.

Portraits - the leitmotif in Peter Senoner's work. Here in the Atelier Fundneyt, you will embark on an artistic exploration of the human figure, as drawn, painted and sculpted by Senoner again and again. A rare opportunity to get this close to works of art...

You will probably never forget this dramatic natural spectacle, as the sky over and above the Three Peaks shimmers in the most beautiful colours even before the first rays of sunlight appear.
