Your winter holiday in Alta Pusteria – experience the Three Peaks

Enjoy winter in the Dolomites

From days on the slopes to quiet walks through snowy forests or leisurely visits to twinkling Christmas markets—winter in Alta Pusteria, in the heart of the Three Peaks region, is full of charm and wonder.

The magic of the mountains and village life

San Candido, nestled at the gateway to the Dolomites—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is the perfect base for winter adventures. Spend your days skiing in the 3 Cime Dolomiti area or gliding along cross-country trails through wide valleys and snow-covered forests.

Those who prefer a gentler pace can wander through the historic center, explore charming boutiques, or pause for a coffee in one of the cozy cafés with mountain views. Winter here also delights the soul with its cultural activities—from art exhibitions to contemplative concerts held in our beautiful churches.

After a day outdoors, return to the Orso Grigio—your warm and elegant retreat. Unwind in the intimate rooftop spa, where gentle warmth and peaceful views create the perfect end to your day.

All the magic of winter on your doorstep

During Advent weekends, right in front of the hotel, the enchanting Christmas in the Dolomites market brings San Candido to life—with sparkling lights, the scent of spices, and the charm of local crafts.

From the Orso Grigio, you can set out directly for sunny walks along the slopes of Mount San Candido, snowshoe adventures through silent forests, exciting sled runs, or night skiing on the Baranci. Everything that makes winter in the Dolomites so special begins right outside our door.

Sport & Nature

Winter in and around San Candido offers endless ways to experience the mountains: over 100 kilometers of ski slopes, 200 kilometers of cross-country trails, several sled runs, and countless winter hiking routes—whether on foot or with snowshoes.
And then there’s what numbers can’t capture: the crisp mountain air, the wide-open valleys, the quiet of snow-covered forests, and the breathtaking beauty of the Dolomites.

Best of all, everything is just a few minutes from the Orso Grigio.

The Pleasant Warmth After a Day Outdoors

After a day on the slopes, gliding along cross-country trails, hiking, or simply exploring the fresh mountain air, it’s time to unwind.

At the Orso Grigio, soothing saunas, a fragrant Turkish bath, and a cozy tea corner in the relaxation room await you. Feel your muscles ease, your mind calm, and let the gentle warmth of the spa guide you into a tranquil evening of well-being.

Winter Evenings by the Fireplace

There’s nothing quite like a winter evening at the Orso Grigio, curled up in front of the crackling fireplace. Outside, twinkling lights illuminate the village, while inside, the fire fills us with warmth and comfort. Savor refined South Tyrolean herbal and fruit teas, or premium Ronnefeldt blends, accompanied by homemade biscuits—the perfect ingredients for ending the day in a cozy, peaceful atmosphere.

Art and Devotion – San Candido in Winter

In San Candido, faith and craftsmanship have long walked hand in hand. Generations of local sculptor families, including the Schranzhofer and Fasching families, have created extraordinary sacred art—altars, figures, and nativity scenes that reflect both devotion and masterful skill. Among these treasures, the Fasching nativity scene in the Franciscan Church stands out as a remarkable testament to artistry and tradition.
