Family hikes in South Tyrol

This panoramic tour combines nature, culture, and culinary delight. The path passes historic farms and offers beautiful views, ending with a visit to Lechnerhof.

This leisurely circular hike leads from Schenna through the apple orchards along the Bloseggweg hiking path, continuing to the Kampflkreuz, and then back via the Mitterplattweg hiking path. Due to the nature of the path, it is also suitable for strollers. This circular hike is especially recommended in the spring during the apple blossom and in the autumn during the harvest season.

The Cikilyr Trail is an easy walk through the beautiful natural scenery around Mühlbach. With minimal elevation change and enjoyable paths, it’s perfect for those seeking a relaxing hike.

Children need constant change and are always looking for adventure. The Ahrntaler Sonnenwege (sunny trails) and especially its Ahrntaler Hexensteig (Witch’s trail) is the ideal spot to give families such exciting adventures. It starts at Mühlegg/Costa Molini from where you walk to the rushing Frankbachwasserfall (waterfalls). Continue on and pass an old millstone which tells us a little about the farm life of long ago. You then get to some rocks which are ideal for children looking for adventure and who want to test their climbing skills. The very brave children may even dare to enter into the bear cave and walk through the 20 m long underground tunnel where they will have to pass the witch’s big chair and a wooden carved family of bears before reaching the end of their hiking destination – the family friendly Bizathütte (lodge) which welcomes you with its mountain restaurant.

The loop hike through the Rienz Gorge offers a diverse mix of nature, culture, and panoramic views. From Rodenegg Castle through the wild gorge to the apple orchards of Natz – an ideal tour for explorers.

You first walk along a gravel path and cross the idyllic alpine village of Fane with its traditional huts, cattle sheds and small, charming church. Trail no. 17 continues along the Vallerbach stream to the waterfalls. From here it is a leisurely ascent to the Brixner hut.

On this wintry hike along a section of the Steinegg Ridgeway, you will pass through forests to beautiful viewpoints with fantastic views of the Rosengarten and Schlern mountains. After about half of the circular hike, you come to the Oberölgart alpine hut - a nice place to stop for a bite to eat and drink, even in winter. Via a tarred road with very little traffic, you come to a very idyllic chapel in the middle of the forest, the ‘Kaserer Bild’ chapel. Continue along the tarred road through the woods to the starting point.
