Olperl’s Mountain World
The circular trail on Mount Helm has ten discovery points along 1.5 kilometres and is suitable for pushchairs too.
With children on Mount Helm, Haunold and Rotwand
Around our family hotel in Sexten, there is a lot for children to discover, such as Olperl’s Mountain World on Mount Helm, the gnome village on the Haunold and the reindeer on the Rotwand.
Five destinations for families
Barefoot trail on Mount Helm
At 2,150 metres you walk without shoes along the highest barefoot trail in the Dolomites.
Gnome village on the Haunold
Children explore rustic tree houses in the branches, nine forest huts and a high ropes course.
Fun-Bob summer toboggan run
First the chairlift in Innichen takes you up, then you whizz back down.
Reindeer on the Rotwand
A herd of reindeer from Finland lives on the Rotwand, now in its third generation.
When it rains outside
When it rains, the children simply carry on playing indoors, in the playroom with giant Lego bricks and table football. At dinner, colouring sheets and pencils are ready for them, and on film nights our young guests watch a film together.
With our Dolomiti Super Kids offer, children under 8 stay free of charge in their parents’ room, provided two people pay the full rate and you stay at least three nights. Older children up to 18 pay half.

Playgrounds and themed trails around Sexten
Around our family hotel in Sexten there are plenty of playgrounds, such as the “Gissa-Waldile”, the Sonnwendplatz, the St. Veit playground and the forest playground in Moos. Often there is no need for a playground at all, as the little ones are just as happy splashing about in the clear water of the mountain stream or building things in the forest with whatever they find there.
For walking and exploring, children have the hiking trail through the forests around Sexten, the Fable Trail up Mount Helm and the path to the Rotwand. Along the way they watch forest animals, hear about the history of Sexten, meet mythical creatures or simply scramble over sticks and stones.
Olperl’s Mountain World and the barefoot trail on Mount Helm
Right behind the mountain station of the Helm cable car lies Olperl’s Mountain World, and there children never get bored while hiking. Olperl, a little rascal with big, round eyes that glow in the dark, guides them through the animal world of the Alps. Along the way they watch native wildlife, splash about in the water and marvel at the view of the mountain peaks.
On the barefoot trail on Mount Helm, you take off your shoes and feel soft moss, fragrant larch wood, stone slabs and pebbles underfoot. At the end, a refreshing footbath in cool spring water awaits.
Gnome village and tubing on the Haunold, reindeer on the Rotwand
The Haunold near Innichen (San Candido) is a mountain for the whole family. The four-seater chairlift, 3 minutes from the village centre, takes you up in comfort. At the top, children climb in the “Zwergenparcours” high ropes course, romp around the playground or whizz down the tubing run. There are also the barefoot lakes as well as easy and moderately difficult hikes.
Right next to the barefoot lakes, in an alpine recreation area, lies the gnome village. While the children play, you can rest. Up in the trees hang little tree houses, reached by ladders and suspension bridges, and one floor below stand the gnomes’ forest huts.
The only reindeer herd in the Alps lives on the Rotwand. When the animals are fed, you and your children can be there and learn all sorts of interesting and curious facts about this special species of deer.
