Innichen: winter at Monte Baranci, cycling tours and culture
Accommodation in Innichen
Winter at Monte Baranci
In summer, Monte Baranci offers quiet hiking trails, an adventure park for children and a summer toboggan run. In winter, family-friendly ski slopes and tobogganing opportunities are added. When choosing your travel period, the key consideration at Monte Baranci is whether you want to use the summer trails and summer toboggan run or the winter ski slopes and tobogganing opportunities.
The Funbob Baranci can reach speeds of up to 40 kilometres per hour; passengers can regulate the speed themselves. The maximum speed describes the possible maximum, not a fixed speed for every ride. During your own ride, you can therefore adjust the speed according to your preference.
Hike to the Piccola Rocca dei Baranci
The hike from San Candido to the Piccola Rocca dei Baranci leads to a viewpoint overlooking San Candido. On part of the ascent, the Three Peaks of Lavaredo can also be seen. The view of the Three Peaks is therefore limited to this section of the ascent. If you are planning to enjoy a distant view of the Three Peaks, this section of the hike should be taken into account.
San Candido–Lienz cycle path and mountain bike tour
The 44-kilometre San Candido–Lienz cycle path, classified as easy, runs along the Drau cycle path. It connects San Candido with Lienz in Austria and is suitable for all types of bicycles, including e-bikes. The 44 kilometres should be taken into account when planning the day's distance, without assuming a particular type of bicycle.
On the mountain bike tour from San Candido through Val Campo di Dentro to the DreischusterhĂĽtte, the mountain ranges of the Sexten Dolomites become closer along the route. MTB is short for mountain bike and refers to the type of bicycle used on this tour. As you ride, this changes the view of the Sexten Dolomites along the trail.
Monastery history and culture in San Candido
A Benedictine monastery was founded in San Candido in 769. San Candido is considered the oldest monastery and one of the oldest settlements in Tyrol. The foundation dates back to the 8th century.
The Museo della Collegiata di San Candido is located in one of the oldest buildings in the Puster Valley. The Museo della Collegiata di San Candido includes the cathedral treasury, the sacred art of the collegiate church and a collection of manuscripts. For those interested in culture, the cathedral treasury, sacred art from the collegiate church and the manuscript collection are all housed together in one museum.
The collegiate church of San Candido is considered the finest example of Romanesque architecture in the Eastern Alps region. The MIK Museo del Capitolo building houses the museum, archive and library of the collegiate church. The MIK Museo del Capitolo therefore brings the museum, archive and library of the collegiate church together under one roof.
