Colle di Fuori: Church, Winter Walk and Seasonal Experiences

Colle di Fuori offers several specific points of interest for a trip: the parish church of St. Nicholas, an easy winter walk through the village, and seasonal experiences related to honey and winter sports. The Colle di Fuori bus stop and the cross-country ski trail in the Gsies Valley may also be relevant when planning your trip.

Parish Church of St. Nicholas: History and Architecture

The parish church of St. Nicholas is located in Colle di Fuori at an altitude of 1,260 m. It was first mentioned in 1334 and today features a Neo-Gothic style. Inside are Stations of the Cross created by local workshops. The church thus brings together different aspects: a historical mention, its present-day architectural appearance and works by local workshops. The year 1334 refers to its first mention.

Winter Walk Between Farms and Meadows

The winter walk “Walk to the Traditional Farms in the Gsies Valley” passes through Colle di Fuori and follows St. Nicholas Street. It is an easy circular walk along Colle’s sunny slope, between farms and meadows, with beautiful views. Unlike the parish church, a cultural and historical point of interest, the route is a circular walk that connects the village with the landscape on the slope. If you enjoy walking, it offers a specific glimpse of this part of the Gsies Valley.

Guided Honey Experience Tour

The 2026 tourism program lists a guided honey experience tour. It takes visitors to the Förra farm, offers insights into the world of bees and honey production, and ends with a honey tasting. The meeting point is the Colle di Fuori bus stop. Participation and the meeting point are seasonal, so check the details in the current program beforehand. Unlike the walk, this experience focuses on bees and honey rather than the route and landscape.

Sports in Winter and on a Bike

The Colle sports area includes a mountain bike trail. The Snowsports 3 Zinnen ski school offers courses for beginners and advanced skiers in skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, telemark, freeriding and guided ski mountaineering. Check the ski school’s current seasonal program. The natural ice rink near the Binta Pub is open during the day and in the evening; it is illuminated in the evening. Use of the natural ice rink is seasonal.

Cross-Country Skiing in the Gsies Valley

At the regional level, the cross-country ski trail in the Gsies Valley stretches 40 km from Colle to Santa Maddalena. It is connected to the Dolomiti Nordicski network. Seasonal conditions on the trail can vary. Cross-country skiing is therefore a regional highlight, while the winter walk described above is a circular route on Colle’s slope.

Getting There by Bus and When to Travel

The Colle di Fuori bus stop is served by route 441. The route runs through the Gsies Valley, Monguelfo, Taisten, Niederdorf, Toblach and Innichen. Check the current timetable before travelling. If you are looking for a hotel for your trip to Colle di Fuori, your travel dates may influence which activities you choose: the parish church is a year-round cultural and historical point of interest, while the winter walk, natural ice rink and honey experience are geared toward winter or are seasonal. Plan your trip around the experiences you would like to include.
