Cross-Country Ski Paradise Ridnaun/Ridanna

A joy for beginners and pros alike

From December to April, the Ridnauntal Valley transforms into a winter oasis for cross-country skiing enthusiasts, thanks to modern snowmaking systems – ensuring a long and reliable season. Nestled in a stunning snowy landscape, you’ll find a varied network of trails stretching for around 15 kilometers through the entire valley. Whether you prefer a relaxed classic style or an energetic skating pace – cross-country skiing in Ridnaun/Ridanna is a true nature experience and a treat for both body and mind.


Route description

The loop trail starts in Maiern/Masseria, opposite the Brunner bakery. From there, the track follows the Fernerbach stream out of the valley to the hamlet of Braunhöfe, where a loop section begins. A longer straight stretch then leads to the underpass, followed by a climb to Gasse and up to the Joggelehof farm – from there, the return to Maiern begins.

Parking: A parking area is available directly at the trailhead in Maiern.
