Outdoor
blessings
The Holzner is nestled in its beautiful park in the village of Oberbozen at an altitude of around 1,200 metres. Surrounded by plenty of open space, it rises up on the Ritten high plateau, which has so much to offer: Over 300 kilometres of hiking trails stretch out here, leading past earth pyramids, through forests and up to the Rittner Horn family hiking and skiing area.
At the Holzner itself, we offer the most beautiful outdoor experiences in both winter and summer and an adventurous, active holiday in nature and in the face of the most beautiful mountains in the world.
Tennis with
tradition
Tennis has a long tradition at the Holzner. The tennis courts at the hotel were built in 1935 and international competitions were held on the then new courts from 1936. Since the late 1970s, Holzner guests have always had a professional coach at their disposal.
Our house guests can use the tennis courts with the most beautiful view for miles around free of charge, and high-quality tennis rackets are available for hire on site. Non-guests can use the courts for EUR 15 per hour by reservation.

in the heart of South Tyrol
Over 300 kilometres of hiking trails run along Ritten mountain from the vineyards in the valley to the lofty heights of the Rittner Horn at an altitude of 2,200 metres. At the Holzner, we regularly offer guided hikes to the most beautiful places on Ritten and throughout South Tyrol, a large collection of hiking suggestions or the personal recommendations of our team will help you choose the perfect hike.

hiking tips
Hikes for every tasteVines and even palm trees grow on the valley slopes of the Ritten high plateau, while high alpine conditions prevail at the highest point of the mountain, the Rittner Horn. This leads to an incredible variety of hiking opportunities in a small area and in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. On 300 kilometres of hiking trails on Ritten mountain, you can either enjoy a leisurely stroll, go on easy hikes with children or take on challenging full-day tours.
Pram-friendly varietyThere are also numerous and varied hiking options for families with babies and toddlers. The Holzner has high-quality carrier backpacks for hikes over hill and dale, as well as pushchairs. You can use these on the many pram-friendly hiking and walking trails on Ritten mountain: The Pyramid Trail in Lengmoos, the family circular hiking trail "The Legendary World of Toni" on the Rittner Horn or the Freud Promenade, to name just a few.
Summit ascentAn unforgettable experience for adults and older children alike is a summit ascent, and the possibilities are endless in South Tyrol. We recommend, for example, the ascent to the Weisshorn, which is also easy for children, or a trip to the east of the country, where some of the most beautiful summit hikes in the world await in the Dolomites, from easier variants to via ferratas for experienced hikers.Biking
South Tyrol’s diverse landscape, the excellent network of bicycle tracks and the widely spread public transport system, make for an ideal biking holiday destination! Additionally, at the Holzner, you will receive the Südtirol Guest Pass for the use of all South Tyrolean public transportation, free of charge. So, just hop on your own bike and go!

Italian nostalgia
game for the whole family
Boccia is probably the Italians' favourite leisure game, and with good reason. Alternating concentration and communication are the determining factors in boccia. This makes a game of boccia entertaining, sociable and yet exciting, and therefore great fun for all family members. Balls, a scoreboard and the rules of the game can be found directly on the bocce court itself.UNFORGETTABLE

GENTLE WINTER SPORTS
On Ritten mountain
Winter
hiking
Winter hiking on Ritten mountain is a special treat. Italy's first premium winter trail awaits you on Rittner Horn, the promenades on the sunny plateau delight hikers with the ever-present view of the fascinating mountain world, the beautiful places to stop for refreshments invite you to rest and warm up with their high-quality culinary offerings. And even in late autumn and winter, you can look forward to guided hikes with our hiking guide. There are regular guided snowshoe hikes on the Rittner Horn, which you can take part in free of charge with the RittenCard.Skiing area
Rittner Horn
A trip to Rittner Horn is an unforgettable experience at any time of year. However, the glistening powder snow on the gentle, wide slopes and the cross-country ski trail on Rittner Horn are perfect for a gentle introduction to winter sports. The relaxed atmosphere makes the small ski area an insider tip for families and connoisseurs. You will also find a 2.5 km long natural toboggan run, winter hiking trails with magnificent panoramic views and several wonderful cross-country ski trails on the Rittner Horn.Skating
As soon as it gets cold enough at night, the ice rinks open everywhere on Ritten mountain. Big, small, experienced and beginning skaters will find the right spot at several different venues: at the Ice Rink Renon and the Hockey Arena in Klobenstein, at the natural ice rink in Oberbozen, and at the beautiful and idyllic Wolfsgrubner See Pond.Tobogganing
A speedy experience for young and old is a toboggan run on the natural toboggan run on Rittner Horn, which can be used from the beginning of December. Toboggans can be hired from us at the Holzner or on Rittner Horn itself, and with your RittenCard you can use the mountain railway to the Rittner Horn once a day. From there, it's best to hike around 20 minutes to the Feltuner Hütte for a hearty lunch before walking to the start of the 2.5 km long toboggan run and whizzing down the mountain. If the snow conditions allow, you can also go tobogganing in Oberbozen on the large meadow in the village centre.Fit at the
