A fantastic mountain backdrop with extensive trails, yet a distinctly urban flair – San Candido can do both. Despite a population of just under 3,500, this small town on the south side of the Alps has a real city feel to it. Especially in winter, when alpine- and cross-country skiers flock to the beautiful region; as the days get darker and more contemplative, people come together on the streets or in the pubs. In keeping with this, the Post Hotel Innichen has put together the perfect deal for last-minute bookings.

In the middle of San Candido

In the background, the mighty Dolomites glow in their white robes and enticing visitors with thousands of activities set against the deep blue winter sky. And yet it is the idyllic, sophisticated Dolomite village itself that exudes a special magic in the colder months. With its snow-covered roofs and village center, it looks like something straight out of a postcard. Visitors love to stroll through the small, picturesque streets, shop in the many boutiques, only pausing to warm up with hot drinks. Cute cafés and restaurants invite you to take a break. The highlight of the season is the tranquil Innichner Christmas market in the pedestrian zone, with its atmospheric ambience and many small stalls and shops.

The Post Hotel Innichen is right in the middle of it all, on the old market square not far from the church, nestled in a dreamlike mountain world and a veritable winter wonderland.

Activities Galore

It's not just alpine skiers who are drawn to Val Pusteria and the Dolomites: cross-country skiers, sledders and snow hikers are also magically drawn here. The reason for this is the vast variety of excursion options and the sheer size of the gorgeous Dolomites region.

The Paternkofel, Haunold and Rote Wand mountains are in the immediate vicinity, while hiking trails, pistes and cross-country ski trails wind their way across the open spaces between the forests. Skiers and snowboarders are particularly drawn to the 3 Zinnen Dolomites skiing area – easily reachable thanks to the new shuttle service provided by the Post Hotel Innichen.

The Post Hotel is the place to be if you need some rest and relaxation after a long day. A cozy, warm feeling pervades the entire hotel, from the rooms to the wellness area, making it a home away from home. For some proper rejuvenation, visit the tingling hot saunas, swim a few laps in the indoor pool or daydream in the relaxation rooms. The numerous body treatments, peelings and massages on offer are perfect for bringing body and mind back into harmony while doing something good for your skin.
