Toblach 2025 - Part 1

Wedding

Friday - September 12th to Sunday - September 14th 2025

One of Claudia's best friends was about to get married in Italy. Friday after work we were on our way and stopped for a late lunch in Villach before crossing to border to Italy. After driving for a couple of hours we arrived at the wedding location. Upon arrival we got the keys to our room and then enjoyed some drinks with the other guests. The wedding took place on Saturday and so we stayed until Sunday morning. The wedding location was an old winery in the middle of beautiful vineyards. We had a lovely time at the wedding and Sunday after breakfast we hit the road towards Toblach in South Tyrol.

Toblach 2025 - Part 2

Cortina D'Ampezzo

Sunday - September 14th 2025

After the wedding Claudia and I extended our weekend and drove to Toblach in South Tyrol. Along the way we stopped in Cortina D'Ampezzo. The lovely village will host the next Winter Olympic Games togerher with Milan and so we thought it would be a good idea to check it out. We took a quick stroll through the pedestrian areas and then we got some snacks and drinks at a nice outdoor bar.

Later we hit the road again and drove the remaining kilometres to Toblach. Before we arrived at our hotel we had to stop at a beautiful resting place from where we had a wonderful view at the famous Tre Cime mountain range. Finally we made it to our hotel called Patris. Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome drink and once we had checked in, we headed straight to the spa area to enjoy the lovely weather at the heated outdoor pool. In the evening we went to Pizzeria Hans for dinner and on the way back to the hotel we stopped for ice cream. With a glas of Aperol Spritz we called it a day and enjoyed a relaxing evening.

Toblach 2025 - Part 3

Tre Cime Di Lavaredo

Monday - September 15th 2025

Today we had great weather and since we planned to hike to the Tre Cime the warm and sunny day was quite welcome. After a fantastic breakfast we drove to the viewing spot we had already been to yesterday. There we parked our car and soon we were on our way up to the Tre Cime mountain range. The hike was really lovely and not very exhausting at first, but once we reached the steeper part of the trail it was a little bit more challenging, but it was totally worth it especially when we reached the top and had that amazing view at the Tre Cime. Unfortunately it was very crowded on top and so we decided to hike back to the valley.

On the way back to the hotel we mad a quick stop at cemetery dedicated to the Austrian soldiers who died during World War I in Italy. The rest of the afternoon we spent in the hotel spa. We realxed in the sauna and enjoyed a couple of drinks at the rooftop pool. For dinner we went to the same pizzeria like yesterday and then we took a walk through the village back to the hotel, where we got another Aperol Spritz at the hotel bar.
