The ski slopes are never far from the farm.

Sledging down into the valley on a slope lit by moonlight after a warming cup of mulled wine is an experience not to be missed.

Lots of farms make great bases for walks with snow shoes.

South Tyrol is a paradise for off-piste skiers.

When the wind is howling and it’s snowing outside there will always be something interesting to keep you occupied inside the farmhouse.

You can ride through the snowy winter wonderland on a horse-drawn sledge wrapped up warm in a rug.

Home-made herb tea and oven-fresh baked apples taste especially good in the farm dining room.
