Hiking & Mountaineering
Over 13,000 kilometres of natural, well-marked walking and hiking trails lead through apple orchards, along irrigation channels and Alpine mountain paths. Elsewhere they lead through sweet chestnut groves, across high pastures and meadows. South Tyrol offers plenty for all levels of stamina, from leisurely strolls at medium altitude to challenging trekking tours amid glaciers and Alpine lakes.
