Amid snow-covered pastures, fir forests, and the majestic Odle mountains, you’ll experience an authentic mountain vacation in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige—ideal for nature lovers who don’t ski. Accompanied by an experienced hiking guide and a small group, you’ll snowshoe along the trails of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, passing tranquil alpine huts and surrounded by hushed silence. If you’ve never tried it before, don’t worry— snowshoeing isn’t difficult: it requires a little more effort than a regular hike but offers incredible experiences and can be enjoyed by anyone willing to give it a try! After your excursions, a refined 3-star hotel with a wellness center awaits you in Chiusa, a charming South Tyrolean village where you can unwind with wellness treatments, traditional cuisine, and an authentic atmosphere.
In January or March, set off on a Jonas-organized weekend in the snow to rediscover the mountains in a slow, sustainable, and exhilarating way.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
Program
Thursday
In the afternoon, we arrive in Val di Funes, ready to enjoy a planned weekend in the snow filled with relaxation and nature. After dropping off your suitcase in your room, you can head to the spa and wellness center at this 4-star hotel to rejuvenate yourself amid the scents of wood and mountain pine.
In the late afternoon, we’ll meet with our hiking guide, who will outline the snowshoeing itinerary in Trentino-Alto Adige. It’s the perfect time to get to know each other, find out what lies ahead in the coming days, and head to the restaurant together for a first taste of traditional South Tyrolean cuisine.
Friday
We set out on our first group snowshoe hike in Val di Funes, in the heart of the Puez-Odle Nature Park, amid Swiss stone pine forests and picture-perfect views. Following our hiking guide, we reach the Rifugio delle Odle, where a traditional lunch featuring local products and a view of the Dolomites awaits us. For the return trip, we recommend a toboggan ride—a fun and unique experience! Alternatively, you can continue on foot for about an hour with the guide along the snow-covered trails that lead back to this morning’s starting point. Once back at the hotel, you can relax in the wellness area or head out for an aperitif before dinner at the hotel.

This winter hike through the snow-covered landscapes of the Dolomites in Val di Funes will take usto the Alpe di Villandro, from the Gasserhütte to the Stöfflhütte mountain hut. The trails will lead us across sunny meadows and along easy paths, allowing us to enjoy the scenery at our own pace. It will therefore be a perfect excursion for snowshoeing in small groups and rediscovering your natural rhythm in a place far from the ski resorts. This evening, we’ll return to the hotel for dinner together.
Route information: elevation gain of approximately 250 metersSunday
After breakfast, we check out of our rooms but continue our winter hiking weekend! Our final hike will take us to Malga Gampen, surrounded by the famous beauty of the Sass de Putia Dolomites and the Odle Peaks. The mountain hut tempts us with its traditional South Tyrolean specialties, and all we have to do is choose: Team hot chocolate or steaming apple juice? Then it’s time to try our hand once again at one of the best experiences of this weekend: sledding! A fun activity that will let us discover the beauty of the mountains without skis ;-)
We head back to the cars to say our goodbyes and bring this magical weekend in the snow to a close.
