Proudly introducing: The Ridnauntal valley
A world of experiences at your fingertips
Just outside Erlebnisort Gassenhof, there’s a world of unspoilt nature and leisure opportunities to be discovered. Far removed from the hustle and bustle of cities and everyday life, the Ridnauntal valley is a haven for anyone seeking rest, relaxation and reconnection. This side valley of the Wipptal valley branches off from Sterzing, Italy’s northernmost town, and extends for 18 km westward deep into the Stubai Alps. It is also known as “Val Ridanna” in Italian. If you wish to experience the most authentic side of the South Tyrolean mountains, there is probably no better place than this.

Enjoying the Ridnauntal valley in summer and winter
Step out and tuck in: There’s a whole buffet of walking trails waiting for you, and you don’t even need a car or bus to reach them. Nestled as it is in the natural landscape of the Ridnauntal valley, Erlebnisort Gassenhof offers you the chance to start off directly on foot… or by bike. Because our wide, generous valley can be wonderfully explored on two wheels, too – whether electrically assisted or not.
In winter, the valley rolls out the white carpet to welcome winter sports fans of all ages. Have you ever had the pleasure of making your way through fairytale scenery along a cross-country ski trail? A winter holiday in Ridnaun will give you the perfect opportunity to take in the view of snow-covered forests and peaks while making the most of the health benefits of our crisp mountain air. Other beloved winter activities in the area include Alpine skiing, tobogganing and winter walks.
In additional to seasonal sports opportunities, the Ridnauntal valley also offers plenty of year-round attractions. Would you rather journey back in time to the 18th century and visit the baroque Wolfsthurn Castle, or follow in the footsteps of miners in the Schneeberg mine and learn all about ore mining in the days of old? From Gassenhof you can even reach Becherhaus, the highest mountain shelter in South Tyrol, perched at 3,195 metres of altitude.
