Afterglow in Pedratsches
Every evening, when the sun disappears behind the peaks, Mt. Kreuzkofel wraps itself into a magical red light, a phenomenon called here „Enrosadira“. In the village, situated between St. Martin in Thurn and Stern, reachable via St. Lorenzen in Pustertal, the mountain steeps radiate a profound sensation of peace and serenity. After an adventurous day in the winter wonderland, in the ski-resort Alta Badia or the Sellaronda; or after the mastery of a steep climbing-track and the all-enveloping joy of experiencing such still heights lets you can relax here a little bit cozier – while enjoying South Tyrolean delicacies in the hotels in Pedratsches.
Once upon a time the village offered the site for a Roman settlement. Today traditional farmhouses testify of the pristine Ladin farming architecture. Excursions to the surrounding plateaus reward hikers with unique landscape-panoramas and savory culinary delights. A sheep herd awaits hikers as they pursue the path to alpine pastures of Antersasc; in the midst of the peaks of Puez reigns a silence which helps attaining inner stillness and serenity.
Face to face with the wildlife
Above Pedratsches lies the wonderful mountain lake Sompunt, where you can go ice-skating during winter. The Estate Sompunt – once living quarters of noble families – is an alternative destination. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view over the mountains.
In the nearby game reserve Paraciora you can observe deer in their natural habitat. The park containing over seven hectares offers a walkabout of two kilometers, a playing ground for kids and a restaurant. Those who want to spend their holidays in this beautiful area, find here the most beautiful hotels in Pedratsches in Alta Badia and the South Tyrolean Dolomites.
