The ski resorts Rittner Horn and Reinswald are among the lesser known winter dreams.

In the peace lies the power. An ideal destination for pleasure winter sports enthusiasts, a winter sports offer with a recreation factor.
Winter riding, skiing, snowkiting, everything your heart desires in South Tyrol's south.

Comfortable silence
The snow patiently creaks under the snowshoes of the rosy-cheeked hikers, the white snow cover glistens like crystal. Their path is crossed by riders on robust, winter-used Haflingers, the genuine South Tyrolean horse breed, whose warm breath smokes soothingly through the winter air.

Those who travel to the not-so-well-known, quieter South Tyrolean ski resorts of Reinswald and Rittner Horn in the south of South Tyrol in winter experience winter sports in a living room atmosphere. Many things are possible, skiing, snowshoeing, ski tours also night tours, tobogganing, night tobogganing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, winter riding and for the brave also snowkiting. Coziness and relaxation characterize the symphatically rustic Rittner Horn and the Sarntal skiing area Reinswald.

With South Tyrolean Haflingers through the snow
Not that horse-drawn sleigh rides don't exist in other ski resorts - but here in South Tyrol they are at home - this is where they come from, the Haflingers. As if they knew they were at home here, the blond-maned mountain horses trot through the snowy winter landscape. Those with a bit of riding experience can try their hand directly in the saddle and take winter rides on the backs of the patient Haflingers. Somewhat cozier and above all very romantic is a ride in a horse-drawn sleigh through the South Tyrolean mountain landscape. Very beautiful are also the sleigh rides in the torchlight at night.

Contrast program: Windsurfing in the snow - Snowkiting on the Rittner Horn
Float with your skis or snowboard over wide, powdery slopes and let yourself be pulled by the kite through the wind. The Skywalker kite school on the Rittner Horn offers professional snowkiting courses on all weekends of the ski season - they are located directly in the mountain station of the Rittner Horn cable car on the Schwarzseespitze.
