Summer in Kiens

The summer meadows are in full bloom. The blaze of colour attracts the viewer´s eyes. Enjoy exploring lovely countryside with your children, walking through shady larch woods and roaming along lonely mountain paths. The bikes are ready for a tour. The murmur of a mountain stream softly accompanies the music of nature. The eyes wander to the rocky peaks of the Dolomites. A breath of wind carries the scent of fresh hay. Discover the unknown. Explore the extensive network of walking and hiking paths with rewarding destinations and mountain tours. Furthermore you can indulge in a vast range of other activities such as swimming in the Issinger Weiher (little lake), cycling, mountain biking, tennis, horse riding, fishing, canoeing and rafting. Little guests will not be disappointed either. Our children´s program makes sure that they will have a good time too.
Nestling in lush green fields and meadows the villages of Kiens, Ehrenburg, St. Sigmund and Hofern offer you a warm welcome and some unforgettable summer days.

In the winter the municipality of Kiens

with its villages and hamlets of Kiens, Ehrenburg, St. Sigmund and Hofern presents itself with an outstanding panorama. Located on the River Rienz at 786 m above sea level, Kiens is blessed with a sunny snow-covered landscape which holds great attractions for winter walkers. Young and old can have great fun on the toboggan run. Kiens, however, has plenty to offer for all kinds of winter sports enthusiasts. Twice a week there is a special bus with ski guides which takes more demanding cross-country skiers to a well-known and beautiful cross-country ski area. Only 10 km from Kiens, the Kronplatz, a large ski area served by interconnecting lifts, offers non-stop skiing enjoyment to skiers and snowboarders. There is a free daily skibus service to the Kronplatz skiing paradise. Cleared winter walking paths, horse-drawn sleigh rides through snow-covered landscape and well-groomed cross-country trails invite you to enjoy a day without skiing. Another alternative to skiing is snowshoeing. In collaboration with the Alpinschule Pustertal (Alpine ski and mountaineering school) we have compiled a list of snowshoe walks and tours, which take place every Tuesday.
