Apple Trail Tramin/Cortaccia – Experience nature, discover the apple

The Apple Trail Tramin/Cortaccia is a family-friendly themed trail that brings South Tyrol’s apple cultivation to life in an engaging way. The easy 4–5 km route runs through orchards and vineyards between Tramin and Cortaccia, offering beautiful views over the Adige Valley.

Whether in spring during blossom or in autumn at harvest time – the trail is a unique experience in every season. At 16 stations (sponsored by the Association of South Tyrolean Fruit Cooperatives – VOG), trilingual info panels provide insights into apple varieties, growing methods, storage, and the farmers’ work throughout the year.
