Worth recommending is a visit to one of the restaurants, where you can try out traditional Ladin cuisine with its light, yet flavourful dishes. A perfectly fitting way to round off the evening is to enjoy a glass of wine from the region at the same time.
Leisure activities in the Fassatal leaves no wish unfulfilled: Paragliding, hang-gliding, ice hockey, ice skating, bowling, squash, or - when you're feeling romantic - a horse-drawn sledge ride through the areas enchanting, wintry landscapes- the possibilities are endless!
