Run riot in our mountains: with climbing at the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site, hiking below the King Ortler mountain in the Stilfserjoch National Park or even paragliding.
Immerse yourself in water: jump into the clean, warm lakes of Montiggl and Kaltern or take a panoramic walk to the waterfall in Partschins.
Roam across the landscape: with e-biking on the Via Claudia Augusta, mountain biking on the steep trails in the Vinschgau valley or cycling on the Pustertal cycle path or the Brenner route.
Experience our culture: visit concerts and exhibitions in South Tyrol’s fortresses and castles, toast the winegrowers at a festival in a wine-growing village or sip on an aperitif at the piazza.
Become a foodie: enjoy the mix of Alpine and Italian cuisine and choose from traditional dishes at the inn and culinary experiments at the award-winning restaurant, as you wish.

Events in summer

We South Tyroleans admit it: in summer, we are rarely at home in the evenings! In summer, you can find things to do wherever you go: at the town and village festivals, at small or large concerts and at colourful farmers’ markets.

Seven nature parks, one national park

South Tyrol’s greatest treasure is its nature. In order to protect nature and make it more accessible to those who want to experience it and walk through it, there are seven protected and designated zones and a national park. Here you can experience, fathom and understand nature.
