A vacation with the bike at the hotel in the Dolomites

The Kristall, your bike hotel in the Dolomites

Passing rushing rivers and streams, through dense forests and woodland, along quiet valleys, into little villages which seem lost in time. At our bike hotel in the Dolomites, your adventure starts right outside the door – whether it’s by e-bike, touring bike or mountain bike.

Thought of the week

“The weather in South Tyrol can change very quickly. Check the forecast in the morning and adjust your route accordingly – that way, every tour is safe and pleasant.”

Between green meadows, striking rock formations and quiet forest paths, a network of trails unfolds that leaves little to be desired. The Drau cycle path is particularly popular. It runs from Toblach to Lienz in East Tyrol and delights with its relaxing landscape and excellent infrastructure. Or you can cycle up to the Lake Antholz, circumnavigate the Kronplatz, explore side valleys like the Gsies Valley, or take a tour to the famous Pragser Wildsee (Lake Braies) – no problem with an e-bike.
