6 suggestions for rainy days

When skies turn gray and rain falls, there's loads to do: here are our suggestions for a rainy day in the Dolomites.

Hiking in the rain. Do you remember the quote by British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes? "There is no such thing as bad weather, only inappropriate clothing." So, get into waterproof clothes and go out in the rain!

Bouldering. Climbing without a rope is nothing but fun. The bouldering hall at Telfen is open daily from 10am to 10pm.

More time for museums. Stay dry, check out the school museum in Tagusa and the farmers’ museum at the Tschötscherhof farm and gain an insight into the ancient everyday school life and the world of the local farmers.

Concert evenings and classic tones. Whether it is the Schlern International Music Festival, the Summer Classics or the Chamber Music Festival at Presule Castle, the music festivals in the holiday area Alpe di Siusi offer something for every taste. Take in a concert on a rainy day!

Relax in the hay. A traditional hay bath stands for alpine wellbeing because sweating in the hay is good for both body and soul.

Romantic hours at a dinner for 2. Having a candlelight dinner is the best thing to do on a rainy summer evening.
