The perfect start to your walking holidays in Italy
Just perfect. Your walking holidays in Italy could not have a better start. Our hotel is set in Riscone/Reischach, a charming village in the heart of the Puster Valley, and provides a most congenial starting point for your discovery tours of South Tyrol’s superb mountain world. Within a few kilometres radius you will find a wealth of impressive hiking and biking tours. You can pick your favourite among a variety of different options, from leisurely hikes through alpine pastures and huts to awesome tours to the mountain peaks, or challenging climbing tours that will set your pulse racing. Whatever your preference, at the Rubner’s Hotel Rudolf we are glad to help you with useful information and even three or more weekly guided tours in all levels of difficulty. A special highlight: the circular tour of the world-famous Tre Cime di Lavaredo in the UNESCO-listed Dolomites.
During your walking holidays in Italy, our competent team will be at your side to help you live the best possible hiking experience. At least three times a week we organise professionally guided tours of the Dolomites, the Zillertal Alps or the wonderful Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park; on these occasions, we will show you some fabulous hiking routes through some of the region’s most beautiful corners. Before setting sails for a walking trip in the Dolomites, it is advisable to learn some basic information about the environment, to make sure everything runs smooth. For this reason, at the Rubner’s Hotel Rudolfwe offer personal advice, and suggest some routes that best meet your requirements and hiking experience. Other useful tips you will be receiving include the best starting points to choose, the huts you should not miss, and the day’s weather forecasts. This is all part of our hiking service, along with the free rental of the perfect hiking equipment: Maps, rucksacks, walking sticks, and rucksacks for children. Do not miss our new interactive infopoint – a dedicated area where you can find all the information you may need about outdoor activities, as well as reading material and more. For your walking holidays in Italy, we leave nothing to chance!
Treat your family to unforgettable walking holidays in Italy – choose the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz! With its convenient ropeway (just 700 m from our doorstep), the plateau is an ideal destination for family hikes and trips. The panoramic walks are undemanding and even suitable for pushchairs. The ropeway can be reached by foot or by our comfortable shuttle service. The city bus is a third alternative, as the bus stop is right in front of our hotel. What lies at the summit of the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz? Two attractions; the former is a little kids’ paradise where the little ones can play, laugh, paint and dance. The latter, designed by Zaha Hadid, is the Messner Mountain Museum Corones, which provides precious insights into the world of mountaineering.
Starting from our hotel, you can reach the Dolomites in no time, either directly from the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz, through the village of Valdaora, or by crossing the Badia Valley. Also known as the “pale mountains”, the Dolomites have been UNESCO-listed since 2009 and never cease to amaze locals and tourists alike. A natural shrine where you will collect fond memories and ever-lasting impressions.
The main advantage of choosing a hiking hotel at the Plan de Corones/Kronplatz for your walking holidays in Italy is that you have a whole mountain world at your feet – not just the Dolomites, also the towering glacier of the Zillertal Alps and the idyllic heights of the Rieserferner Group are just 30 minutes away. This leaves you spoilt for choice as to where to stage your daily hiking endeavours as well as to which walking routes to choose according to your level of fitness and motivation. To ensure a pleasurable, risk-free experience, always take into account your physical condition and respect your limits. It is equally important to choose the adequate equipment, e.g. before challenging a 3,000er. Checking the weather conditions and forecasts is always recommended, as is relying on experienced and qualified Alpine guides.
