Spring holiday in South Tyrol – the Dolomites awaken
Spring in San Candido – a season of gentle renewal
At the end of the winter season, when the commotion settles down and the last patches of snow melt away on the ground, a mantle of vibrant green unfolds and nature begins to bloom once more: Spring is here! The days lengthen, and the gentle warmth of the sun grows stronger.
It’s the perfect season for those who love to explore the mountains, whether seeking adventure or a more leisurely pace.
Your spring vacation in South Tyrol features complete, personalized service at the Orso Grigio Boutique & Gourmet Hotel in San Candido.
From Ski Boots to Hiking Boots
Spring in the Dolomites is a season of contrasts and possibilities. On the slopes of the Three Peaks Dolomiti ski area, winter lingers, inviting you to savor the last days on skis. Meanwhile, in the valleys, the snow has already given way to clear hiking trails and cycling paths.
This is the perfect time to enjoy the mountains in every way — on skis, on foot, or by bike. At the Boutique & Gourmet Orso Grigio Hotel, we provide all the guidance you need — from curated itineraries to the latest updates on weather and snow — so you can experience spring in the Dolomites fully, at your own pace.
Truly Lively – San Candido in Spring
San Candido, home to around 3,000 inhabitants, awakens beautifully in spring. Wander through the historic center, explore charming boutiques, pause to admire intriguing shop windows, or enjoy a leisurely coffee while soaking in the relaxed village atmosphere.
On our café terrace, you can sit outside wrapped in a warm blanket, savoring the crisp mountain air and the relaxed rhythm of village life.
Fully Equipped for Your Day Outdoors
Even when some mountain huts are closed, our guests are never left wanting. On request, we can prepare a packed lunch for your hiking or cycling adventures — with fresh fruit, sandwiches, and drinks like water or fruit juice. And at the end of the day, return to the Orso Grigio to savor freshly brewed coffee or tea, homemade desserts, and melt away in the soothing warmth of our saunas.
San Candido Tells Its Story in Spring
Over 1,200 years ago, Abbot Atto brought the relics of St. Candido the martyr to the village, marking the beginning of a remarkable story. From a small monastery commissioned by Duke Tassilo III, a sacred pilgrimage site arose — the spiritual heart of Alta Pusteria. That legacy continues today, reflected in the majestic Collegiate Church of San Candido and in the unique charm and dignity of this cozy alpine town.
