Olperl nature park

The entertaining alpine circuit for the entire family

Our perfect summer highlight: The entrance to the new nature park is right next to the Helm-Bahnen mountain station and invites visitors to meet Olperl’s best friends – in the realm of the animals’ mountain world. The circular trail is 1.2 km long and is suitable for buggies. As you walk, you’ll come across 10 special and very exciting places - with fantastic views of the Sesto Dolomites. Olperl, the hoaxster with luminous eyes as big as saucers, keeps you company along the trail.

BAREFOOT in Olperl’s footprints

The highest barefoot trail in the Dolomites at 2,150 m above sea level is the healthy and enjoyable way to explore Olperl’s Nature Park. Soft moss, fragrant larch trees, stone slabs and shingle stimulate the foot reflex zones, before you immerse your feet in the cool spring water – so refreshing.

The family-adventure-mountain Baranci

Baranci is the popular mountain for family excursions. The 4-seater chair lift is situated 3 minutes from San Candido village centre and takes you quickly up to an altitude of 1,500 m. Flowering meadows and lush green pastures provide a wonderful playground for young and old: There are waiting highlights like the children’s highlight adventure trail, a tubing run and the fun bob. The mountain station is the starting point for many easy and medium hikes through spruce forests and up to the Baranci summit with stunning views of the Three Peaks.

Dwarf Village

new 2018

Very close to the ‘giant’s footprint’ lakes by the Rifugio Gigante Baranci/Giant Haunold Hut, you’ll find an Alpine recreation area tucked away. It’s a wonderful place to unwind. Now, you can enjoy a new attraction: the Dwarf Village. High up in the branches, there are quaint tree houses which can you can explore via ladders and rope bridges. The life of a dwarf is reflected in the nine mountain huts below.
