Dobbiaco: Cross-Country Skiing, Nature and Culture
The Nordic Arena in Dobbiaco enables sporting activities all year round and is considered one of the largest sports centres in the Puster Valley. The Nordic Arena in Dobbiaco includes a cross-country skiing school and a cross-country ski rental service. This means you can find both lessons and the opportunity to rent cross-country skiing equipment in one place.
Cross-Country Skiing and Trails in Dobbiaco
The Dobbiaco–Cortina cross-country ski trail begins at the Nordic Arena, runs through the Landro Valley along the former railway line and is approximately 30 kilometres long. The former railway line refers to the route of a former railway. A cross-country ski trail, on the other hand, refers to a route for cross-country skiing and not to a railway connection that is still in operation. The approximate length of 30 kilometres provides a clear framework for planning a longer tour.
The Alta Via di Dobbiaco is approximately 28 kilometres long and requires around nine hours of walking. The walking time describes the approximate duration estimated for covering the route on foot. The distance and time indication therefore provide two concrete figures for assessing this route. On the Alta Via di Dobbiaco, distance and walking time can be considered together when planning the day: approximately 28 kilometres and around nine hours help you estimate the time required for this hike in advance.
The Dobbiaco–Cortina e-bike tour leads from Dobbiaco to Cortina along the old railway line of Alta Pusteria through the Landro Valley. The tour passes by two lakes and the Tre Cime/Landro viewpoint. An e-bike is a bicycle with electric pedal assistance; here, the term identifies the type of transport used on this tour.
Nature at Lago di Dobbiaco
Lago di Dobbiaco is a relatively undisturbed wetland and serves as a nesting site for many species of waterbirds. A wetland is an area of landscape in which water shapes the habitat. Lago di Dobbiaco therefore focuses on a habitat that serves as a nesting site for numerous waterbird species.

The historic Stations of the Cross in Dobbiaco is considered the oldest in the whole of Tyrol. The Gustav Mahler Music Weeks have been held annually since 1981.
The Grand Hotel in Dobbiaco is home to the Euregio Cultural Centre and houses the Gustav Mahler Hall.

The visitor centre combines a visit to the nature park with information about the development and past of the Dolomites. This gives the landscape a historical dimension in addition to its trails and sporting opportunities.
At Mondolatte, you can sample cheese.
