Experiences for two, three and four ... miramor is perfect for your holiday with friends, as a couple, or with the family. Spending time together here is superb and wonderful. Sometimes, as a parent, you just need some time out for yourself. Me-time – whether it's for mum or dad. This is also possible in the varied alpine adventure world of Ratschings. While the children explore the Barefoot Trail or the Mountain Adventure World with their dad, go sledding without snow - there is a new summer sled run on the Rosskopf – mum can go hiking alone for a change. We are situated at a high altitude and therefore the summer is pleasantly warm and yet not too hot. We are also a suitable destination for allergy sufferers, as there is less pollen in the air here.

MARBLE AND MOOR(S): SUMMER IN RATSCHINGS
THE WIPPTAL VALLEY SUMMER ADVENTURE
CLIMBING IN RATSCHINGS
Those who have done it know that you can feel the alpine heartbeat at its best right on the cliffs. The mouth of the Ratschings valley is home to the „Stohlwond“ (written German for "steel wall"), a climbing course with several units. There are about 70 routes in the lower to medium difficulty range. Here you can enjoy experiences on the rock even in spring and well into November, because the south-facing rock is sunlit from dawn to dusk. You'll be amazed at the hilarious names! You want to climb but don't have a partner to secure you? Martin the host may even accompany you personally as your climbing partner! And if you're lucky, you might even see an ibex!
CLIMBING AND ADVENTURE WITH KIDS
SKYTREK HIGH ROPE COURSE
Riding a bike along a thin cable, trekking around wooden pegs and climbing ever upwards. Lots of zip-lines at dizzying heights, adrenaline coursing through your veins as you soar through the air between fragrant pine trees. Great, right? The high rope course Sky Trek in Sterzing is located right next to the bus station: you can reach it easily by bus from miramor. Hop on in Ratschings and hop off in Sterzing and then you're ready to go. It is open from April to October and offers a variety of routes for children from the age of 4. The team will of course introduce you to the use of harnesses. The wooden benches, hammocks and tree house offer shady spots to rest and enjoy an ice cream.
CLIMBING IN AND AROUND STERZING
ÖLBERG VIA FERRATA
Since 2022 we have also a via ferrata (a protected climbing route that uses steel fixtures to arrest falls and provide handholds and footings) nearby – and it's a great one! In the top section, it is divided into several varieties. So you can choose between the difficulty route in B-C or the one in C-D. The majority of the difficulty is in the medium range, i.e. you can expect a total walking time of 3 to 3.5 hours. You can rent the equipment from Skytrek. The staff there will show you how to use it properly. You still need to have sufficient experience and enough time. So make sure the weather conditions are stable! Children are allowed to come along from a minimum height of 1.30 m – of course only if the parents have sufficient experience in the use of safety equipment.
Ratschings is situated at 1,350 m. This means: here the air is pristine for holidaymakers with pollen allergies!
WORTH KNOWING, RIGHT?
WE HAVE DOLOMITE PEAKS TOO!
HIKING, TRAIL RUNNING AND MOUNTAIN CLIMBING
The higher you climb, the stronger you feel the alpine heartbeat. You are on the main ridge of the Alps, the main artery of the mountains. Because we are a wildlife paradise, you might also see chamois, ibex and marmots up there. In Ratschings we have the Ratschinger Kreuz – also known as Himmelreich (Kingdom of Heaven) – the Hohe and Kleine Kreuzspitze, the Zermaidspitz, the Saxner and numerous alpine pastures such as the Klammalm or the Wumblsalm. You can also take the train and explore 2,000 leisurely paths. miramor is also perfect for real high-altitude tours to the glaciers and 3,000-metre peaks of the Stubai and Zillertal Alps such as Hochfeiler, Becherhaus and Zuckerhütl. The Telfer Weissen, the 3 Tribulaune and the Weissspitz stand out from the landscape with their white peaks: they are made of dolomite!
HOLIDAY NEAR STERZING IN SPRING, SUMMER AND AUTUMN
ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILIES
Close to us, a bit further back in the valley, is a barefoot trail and a Kneipp therapy spa. You can also visit the Gilfenklamm gorge and the Pfeifer-Huisele themed trail in spring and autumn. So follow the trail of a legendary figure from the Middle Ages who was accused of being a sorcerer! Also fun for children is the Mountain Adventure World Ratschings-Jaufen, which takes your little ones into the world of ants, marmots and water. Panoramic bridges, giant slide, wooden ball track, climbing frames, water games and a petting zoo provide hours of entertainment. It's easy to get there and get around, even with a pushchair!
SUMMER IN STERZING
There is a lot to see in Sterzing. Sterzl market takes place every Tuesday and a farmers' market every Friday. On both mornings there are local products such as from the Wipptal Valley herb garden, cheese and meat from farmers, traditional Schüttelbrot bread and much more. In summer you can enjoy long Wednesday evenings, the so called lantern parties. In addition to live music, you can enjoy culinary specialties such as "Krapfen" und "Strauben". The emblem of Sterzing, the 46 m high Zwölferturm, can also be climbed there. In the Balneum, the Sterzing swimming pool, you can swim lengths and relax with your friends or family. In the cold and cooler months of the year, it serves as a sauna and indoor swimming pool.
If you love adventure, why not go rafting?
