Tours at Resort
A | A day to enjoy our resort and to help us the owner of our hotel will play host and take us out for a gentle walk around this friendly village. We enjoy a picnic with great company, food, and wine... and start to get into the relaxed ‘Paganella way of life’ in the nmountains!
B | A scenic drive by Lake Caldaro and we visit Kaltern. Later we visit Kettmeir SPA Winery for a guided tour followed by a tasting of three wines with grissini (breadsticks). The winery was founded
in 1919 and is testimony to the deep rooted culture of wine making in the region.
C | Into the Lagorai chain of mountains and we make a short stop at Cavalese which lies in a sunny location and is dominated by the church and its famous bell tower. From here it’s just a short drive to get to the ‘Sella Pass’ with its incredible viewing platform, where we can enjoy a lunch time stop and appreciate the amazing 360-degree views across the Dolomites’ spectacular, jagged peaks. We continue down into the alluring Val Gardena, an historic valley known for its wood-making traditions and unique and ancient language Ladin, which is only spoken here. We take a final break in the picturesque village of Ortisei famous for selling a local specialit – handmade cuckoo clocks!
D | To the lesser known but incredibly scenic Lake Molveno where we make ashort stop on the banks of the river. From here we enjoy the relaxing route to Lake Garda. Riva del Garda offers a lakeside historic centre and is the most northerly point in Europe where olive trees grow! We have free time to explore Riva before returning to our hotel.
