Winter hiking tour from S. Stefano to Haidenberg

This easy winter hiking tour leads from S. Stefano near Riscone to the homely Haidenbergerhof farm.

Driving from Brunico to Riscone, we park our car near the toboggan run in S. Stefano (957 metres asl). From here, we continue by foot.

We follow the broad forest road, which leads us gently upwards into the forest, until we finally reach a clearing and the Haidenbergerhof farm (1,280 metres asl). This beautiful farm with its nice chapel lies in the middle of snowy meadows. From here, we enjoy a great view of the middle Val Pusteria, the Valle di Tures and the peaks of the Zillertal Alps.

After a nice rest and a very tasty lunch we decide to rent a toboggan instead of hiking back to the starting point. This tour is particularly recommended for families!
