Villabassa, family holidays

Located in the heart of the Tre Cime/3 Zinnen area, Villabassa is the ideal destination for those seeking nature, outdoor activities, and authentic relaxation in a timeless mountain setting. Nestled in a sunny valley surrounded by meadows, forests, and spectacular peaks, Villabassa is perfect in every season.

Summer in Villabassa: nature, adventure, and wellness

In summer, endless meadows, lush forests, and the Dolomite peaks create a true paradise for hikers and cyclists. Whether you want to explore panoramic trails or ride the Val Pusteria cycle path, every outing starts right from your accommodation’s doorstep. Villabassa is also the starting point of the Alta Via No. 3 trail, which leads all the way to Longarone in the Belluno province.

Every summer, the village hosts the legendary Südtirol Dolomiti Superbike, one of the toughest and most famous mountain bike races in the world. But you don’t have to be a pro to enjoy the area—there are trails for all levels, ideal also for families and casual cyclists.

The village’s highlight is the Kneipp path, the first in Italy, featuring basins, water walking paths, natural wraps, and a unique open-air inhalation facility that benefits the respiratory system. A special opportunity to recharge in nature.

Winter in Villabassa

In winter, Villabassa transforms into a true snowy paradise. Cross-country skiing enthusiasts can access the trail network extending toward Dobbiaco, the Braies Valley, and the entire Dolomiti NordicSki area, the largest in Europe with 1,000 km of trails—200 km of which are in Alta Pusteria alone.

Just a few kilometers away are the ski areas Monte Baranci, Monte Elmo, Croda Rossa, and Plan de Corones, perfect for alpine skiing, sledding, ski mountaineering, and winter walks.

Not to be missed: culture, family, and relaxation

Villabassa is also perfect for families and those who love to relax. It hosts one of South Tyrol’s largest adventure playgrounds, with giant slides, swings, water games, a treehouse, and a mega zip line. For cultural moments, the “Haus Wassermann” Tourism Museum tells the long tourist history of the area in an interactive way.

Tennis enthusiasts can train on the clay courts in the spa park, which are usable even in winter thanks to heated coverings. The village also offers a small lake and bocce courts set in greenery.

Culture, events, and tradition

Villabassa proudly preserves its cultural identity. Among its historic churches and buildings stands the parish church of St. Stephen, while the musical bands, folk traditions, and local festivals enliven the village all year round. Not to be missed are the International Choral Singing Festival, the traditional Kirchtagmichl fair, and the romantic Christmas market, which lights up the center with scents, flavors, and crafts.
