Authentic. Powerful. Real
Nature that remains
The Dolomites are among the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe and one of the top destinations for a holiday in South Tyrol. Since 2009, they have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, telling a story that began over 250 million years ago.
Their shape is unmistakable: sharp lines, dramatic cliffs, wide alpine meadows. And the light that turns the mountains into shades of red and gold at sunset. A view that leaves you speechless.
Just minutes from Apart-Hotel HIRBEN, this world of rock, silence, and space begins. A place you don’t just see – you feel.
Authentic. Powerful. Real.
The dolomite rock gives these mountains their unique character: raw yet refined, strong yet light.
Nature reveals itself in its purest form – making a Dolomites holiday truly special.

Facts about the Dolomites in South Tyrol:
Yes, which is exactly what makes a cycling holiday with us at the Hirben so special. You can start, fully relaxed, right from the front door – no distance to travel, no detours. The cycle path on the River Drava is just a short hop away and will take you in leisurely fashion along the river to San Candido, Lienz – or, if you are in an adventurous mood, even further.
Those who prefer cycling uphill will find numerous opportunities to explore the Dolomites by mountain bike or e-bike – whether towards the Plätzwiese high plateau, through the Casies Valley or up to one of the quiet mountain pastures around the Upper Puster Valley. The trails are easily accessible, scenically impressive and can be individually tailored to your mood and fitness level. And, best of all, you’re right in the middle of it all – in the natural world, in the mountains, in the Dolomites, in the moment.
We can also provide Thule bike trailers for children or trailers for dogs if required.
Yes, modern e-MTBs and standard bikes are available for hire directly from the Hirben. Whether you are planning a leisurely tour or want to ride high up, we will be happy to advise you on choosing the right bike. Every bike is ready, recently serviced and with full safety equipment. We recommend that you reserve your bike of choice in advance, especially during the high season, so there will be nothing to stop you or your tour.
Yes – and not just any guided tour, but a route tailored to you personally. Fabian, your host here at the Hirben, is himself a passionate cyclist and knows the trails around the Upper Puster Valley better than almost anyone.
Once a week (or more often if the weather permits) he makes time to take guests on tours – sometimes leisurely, sometimes more demanding, but always accompanied by a keen sense of nature, pace and atmosphere.
Alongside our guided tours, we will of course be happy to help you plan your own individual tours. Whether you are cycling in the Dolomites for the first time, or already know many of the passes, we can show you trails that are more than just routes – they are trails that truly connect people.
There are numerous trails worth discovering around the Hirben, some leading to inspirational viewpoints, others running through quiet forests or along clear streams. If you set off early, you can for example witness the sunrise on the Plätzwiese high plateau – an experience you’ll never forget. A tour via the town of Dobbiaco to Lake Dobbiaco, or to the vista of the Three Peaks, are wonderful ways to start your day right from the hotel. Every trail has a rhythm of its own, every route has its own special sound – and we are happy to help you choose just the right tour for yourself.
Yes, your bike is in good hands with us. There is a break-in-proof, lockable 24/7 video-monitored bike room where you can park and recharge your bike. If you need any repairs, we have tools available – everything has been thought of so you can fully concentrate on getting out and about. A separate area is also available for washing and cleaning bikes.
We are happy to help with advice and assistance. Some guests just want to set off on their bikes, while others prefer to have a guide. Fabian will plan a tour that takes you along hidden paths or offers special experiences. And, of course, we’ll also tell you our personal favourites – tours that never fail to impress us, because they are not just lovely, but also authentic.
