Alpin Arena Senales is looking forward to the winter season

It's only September, the first leaves are turning colour at lower altitudes and we're already thinking about winter? What seems premature is not so unrealistic. On the Val Senales Glacier, at 3,212 metres above sea level, where temperatures don't rise above 15 degrees even in summer, the first snowflakes are already falling in September. What does that mean? That we are the first ski resort in South Tyrol to open its doors for the winter season - in the second half of September. Today, we want to share with you why we always look forward to the winter season in particular.

Fascinated hikers line the edge of the path, watching the cheerful trotting and listening to the jingling of the many bells. But what is actually happening here?

The new cabrio cable car in the italian Alps

I was really surprised when they started to dismantle the entire cable car in Val Senales, Italy, last summer to put up a completely new lift. I don't normally pay much attention to what they're doing down there - I prefer to fly around high above them undisturbed. But I find it fascinating how technological progress is bringing the habitats of humans and us eagles ever closer together. Cable cars up the mountains are just one way for people to take to the skies.

Summer holiday in the Alps

Blooming mountain meadows, tinkling cowbells, a gentle breeze, and unobstructed views as far as the horizon - is this what you imagine your summer holiday in the Alps to be like? The rustic Val Senales is one of the few places that has retained its original charm; in the Alpin Arena Senales, you can experience a South Tyrolean summer just as it might have been a hundred years ago, plus a few welcome comforts.

Glacier hiking in the Italian Alps

Val Senales can no longer really be described as an insider tip - the idyllic side valley of the Venosta Valley in the west of South Tyrol in northern Italy attracts countless visitors every summer. And yet it has retained its unmistakable flair: unspoilt nature, warm hospitality and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere characterise one of the most beautiful areas for hiking in the Italian Alps. Hiking in Val Senales is particularly popular in the warmer months of the year. When the temperatures become mild even on the glacier and the meadows blossom at lower altitudes, we lace up our boots and set off on an adventure! An adventure that appeals to all the senses...
