Apart from skiing, Velturno and its neighbouring communities offer a wide range of winter leisure activities. Alone ice-skating is possible on five different natural ice rinks in the town's area. How about a round of skittles before dinner?Several providers, such as the sports club in Verdings provide this and billiards is available as well.
