Tobogganing Adventures

The highlight for many families is the 6km toboggan run at Funicular Resciesa . Note that you must rent your sled at the valley station before heading up, as there are no rentals at the summit. Another great option is the dedicated run at Monte Pana Dolomites Hotel , which is accessible by car or via the Monte Pana Chairlift .

Winter Walks and Strollers

For a relaxed afternoon, the Luis Trenker Promenade is flat, paved, and fully stroller-friendly, connecting the villages with beautiful views. For a more immersive nature experience, head to Vallunga in Selva, located just behind the Carabinieri training center, which offers easy trails through a dramatic U-shaped valley.
