Your ski holiday in Sillian, near the Alta Pusteria ski resort

Winter in East Tyrol: Pure. Unhurried.

As the landscape settles into a quiet white, everything shifts.
The air turns cooler, clearer — each breath more present. Sounds fade, making space for a stillness that feels almost tangible. Just a few steps beyond Italy’s edge, winter reveals itself here in its most natural form — calm, reduced, and focused on what truly matters. A time for genuine moments: movement in the crisp mountain air, the warmth of retreat, the conscious experience of time. No rush. No distraction.

A ski region of endless possibilities

Around AMIL, a diverse winter landscape unfolds — from smaller, quieter ski areas to wide, more challenging slopes. What makes it special is the proximity. Many ski resorts are easy to reach — by car, or more effortlessly by train.
Less time getting there, more time in the snow.


Sillian – Thurntaler ski centre

Compact, sunny, and relaxed. Just 3 kilometres from AMIL.

3 Zinnen Dolomites

Just a few steps from AMIL, the train station becomes your direct access to the winter mountains. Within minutes, the train takes you to Versciaco — and straight into the 3 Zinnen Dolomites ski area. Five interconnected mountains, modern lifts, and the striking backdrop of the Dolomites await. Alternatively, you can reach it in less than 10 minutes by car — but the train remains the most effortless way to arrive: step on, arrive, and set off.

Plan de Corones – Kronplatz

One of South Tyrol’s most renowned ski areas awaits — an extensive network of slopes set within the striking backdrop of the Dolomites. An alpine experience at the highest level, yet easy to reach: around 40 minutes by car or about an hour by train — a comfortable journey, with views of the winter landscape passing by.

Cortina d’Ampezzo

Elegant. Storied. Spacious. Within about an hour’s reach — and every curve along the way already part of the experience. One of the most beautiful settings for cross-country skiing unfolds here: a finely woven network of trails set within the Dolomites. And it begins right at AMIL. The access point to the track is just a few steps from your chalet — leading you straight into the quiet of the winter landscape. Classic or skating, gentle gliding or a more demanding pace — you choose your rhythm.
And simply follow the track.


Trails that carry you further

The cross-country network begins just a few steps from your chalet — opening into one of the most varied trail systems in the Alps. Classic or skating, gentle or more demanding — the choice is yours.

Right outside your door | Cross-country skiing from Sillian to San Candido — even across the border — with the option to return comfortably by train. For shorter rounds: the Sonnenloipe and the Rabland circuit — easy, scenic, and right in the village.

Winter walking. Snowshoeing. Ski touring.

When the snow begins to crunch underfoot and the landscape settles into stillness, a different kind of winter unfolds — for those who prefer to explore at their own pace. Around the AMIL chalets, countless possibilities open up. On foot, with snowshoes, or on skins — the mountains are yours.

Particularly striking are winter walks along the Schustertal trail near Kartitsch, through the Val Fiscalina in Sesto, or into the Val Campo di Dentro near San Candido. Snowshoe routes in the Villgraten Valley or towards the Bonner Hütte above Dobbiaco offer ideal conditions: quiet paths, deep snow-covered forests, and wide, open views. The area around the Leckfeldalm and the Kartitsch Saddle is just as rewarding — calm, scenic, and away from the crowds. For ski touring, peaks such as the Thurntaler, Hornischegg, or Monte Elmo offer a range of options — easily accessible, varied, and suitable for both beginners and more experienced tourers. And perhaps the most rewarding part: returning to your chalet afterwards — to the warmth of the sauna, the glow of the stove, and a deep sense of calm.
Sledding — for every pace

In and around Sillian, several toboggan runs offer different ways to experience winter — with or without a climb. Particularly charming is the natural toboggan run from the Leckfeldalm: the ascent is rewarded with regional specialties served at the hut.
For a more effortless option, take the cable car up to the Golzentipp in Obertilliach — and enjoy the long, winding ride back down into the valley. In the Winkeltal, a floodlit run leads directly to the Reiterstube: sled rental, a warm stop, and traditional dishes included.

Ice beneath your skates. Mountains all around.

In Sillian, a well-kept natural ice rink awaits in the open air — perfect for an easy glide. Further options can be found nearby: small, refined, and free from the crowds.
