It would be nice to spend the Christmas holidays with the family, in some little place in the mountains, but do not overdo it with the journey when the period is known. Most hotels offer at least one week in convenient packages, but we have found one called Bad Ratzes and proposes the Toccata and Fugue Christmas, which costs € 1,060 for two adults and one child from one to five years
Four nights with arrival and departure on Saturday  the 22nd  (Wednesday), December 26, 2012 and you can stay in the room Goi-Wiese of 24 square meters. The fee for the full board is included, walks on the Seiser Alm with routes suitable for families and tobogganing as well.
For children up to three years old service is available to the play center and outdoor activities every day from 8:00 to 15:00. And do not leave loads beyond measure because the hotel offers its guests all the necessary serving the small to sleep, baby food and for hiking in the mountains, including backpacks, baby carriers and strollers from the cross over to advice on where to go. Finally, a detail that makes the difference on holiday with children: there is a washing machine available for a 7 euro laundry.
The activities here are many, even if you do not want to ski, for example you can go ice skating in the charming village of Fiè. But a trip not to be missed is surely the carriage: the horse-drawn sleigh in the typical local style riding across the landscape of the Dolomites makes the difference.
