As National Walking Month approaches this May, Hotel Hubertus is an alpine retreat situated in Olang, South Tyrol in the Dolomites, providing an exceptional blend of traditional charm and modern luxury in the mountains, featuring a variety of organized hiking activities available to guests.

With its prime location on the sunny slopes of the Plan de Corones, the hotel offers access to numerous hiking activities for the warmer months. Through its weekly schedule, Hotel Hubertus provides more than 15 guided hikes each week, ranging from Nordic walking sessions and short excursions to more demanding routes such as the Gsieser Almweg 2000 and sections of the high alpine trails in the Fanes-Sennes-Prags Nature Park. Walkers can anticipate routes like the circular path around Lake Antholz, suitable for most, or a more intense hike to Monte Luta, which takes about three and a half hours and offers stunning views across Val Pusteria.
