Spring Magic
When the days get longer…
…and the bright sunshine slowly drives winter away, the picturesque landscape of the Alpe di Siusi shows itself in fresh and delicate green. Hiking across the Alpe di Siusi in spring is one of the most beautiful experiences you may have in your life. Witness how new life returns: the alpine roses begin to bloom; crocuses and lilies of the valley push through the last thin patches of snow and the forest trees sprout their tender buds. This is the most beautiful time for a hiking holiday in the Dolomites, and our family farm in Castelrotto is the ideal starting point for unique nature experiences.
Summertime
Flowers as far as the eye can see!
The hikes across the Alpe di Siusi take you along flower-scattered alpine meadows, through fragrant forests and up to sun-kissed mountain peaks. Summer is a wonderful time to travel, especially for families – the family farm in Castelrotto is already looking forward to experiencing a few fantastic days together with you in the South Tyrolean summer. Hiking enthusiasts will now get their money’s worth. The well-marked hiking trails lead you to many splendid viewpoints and historical sights.
Autumn
The golden season
Autumn not only attracts hiking enthusiasts from all over the world with its colourful splendour, it is also the traditional Törggelen season in South Tyrol. The harvest is brought in, the new wine is tasted and in all alpine huts there are typical autumn dishes that gourmets have been waiting for all year. What could be better than stopping off after a wonderful hiking tour and feasting on freshly roasted chestnuts, hearty meat platters and fine new wine? Experience this happy time yourself – the hiking paradise Alpe di Siusi and the Plunger family are already waiting for you at the Formsunhof.
