Martin "Piri" Pirhofer is not only a hotelier, but also an established figure among the trail scouts of South Tyrol. Pirhofer extends the bike season in winter and takes his guests on tours with wide tires all year round. "For anyone who has never tried fat biking before: It's incredible fun with fantastic traction, especially on snow. And anyone who thinks the mighty bikes are heavy guys will be surprised at how light they are - it's almost all just air - and how easy the handling is," says Pirhofer, making a strong plea for year-round biking.

Pirhöfer promises a perfect start to 2016 with the Fatbike Days at the Jagdhof. From January 2 to 6, 2016, guests will not only receive full comfort in their accommodation at a special price, but will also be provided with a fat bike by bike manufacturer Maxx. Together with Pirhofer and flanked by Maxx boss Uwe Matthies, guests will roll out onto the groomed trails across the snow-covered Vinschgau Valley. The tour plan includes Latscher Alm, Martelltal or Lake Reschen, garnished with the best places to stop for refreshments.
