The "Plan":
a mountain to explore
Downhill rides on a mountain bike, family walks, wonderful treks through the mountains around Terento and Plan de Corones, shopping in Brunico, exciting skiing on well-maintained slopes, snowshoe hikes through pristine landscapes, the first footprints in freshly fallen snow, a wonderful snowball fight, a family-friendly culture and, above all, a really enjoyable holiday: Terento and the tourist area of Plan de Corones offer you so much variety.
Opportunities for hikers and climbers around the Val Pusteria
Around Terento and Plan de Corones, but also throughout the rest of Val Pusteria, there are numerous trails and ascents at every level of difficulty. They range from simple walks, to hard but rewarding climbs suitable for the whole family, from rambles through alpine pastures to exciting high-altitude trails and circuits: just ask Meinhard, he's an infinite fount of wisdom with regard to the mountains. He'll certainly be able to recommend the most suitable options for you. And if his commitments allow, he'll be happy to accompany you.

For those interested in culture: museums and much more
Messner Mountain Museums: Have you ever visited one of the museums set up by that famous climber, Reinhold Messner? During your holiday in Terento, you'll have the chance to explore two of them. At the MMM Ripa, housed in Brunico castle, you can learn all about the hard life of the local mountain people. At MMM Corones, high up on Plan de Corones, there are vivid impressions of the world of climbing, as well as panoramic displays of imposing mountain landscapes.
Castle Tures: a journey back into mediaeval times. Immerse yourself in this historic era as you walk through the prisons and visit the hall of knights and the armoury. And maybe you'll even meet the castle ghost.
