Hiking in South Tyrol

Tramp in the moorlands of the Alps of Villanders. Distant view to the Dolomite Alps.

A wonderful circular hike through remote meadows and forests with an amazing view of Eisacktal/Valle Isarco valley and Brixen. 

With many great works of art to be discovered, this hiking circuit from Brixen/Bressanone runs to St. Andrä/S. Andrea and then Klerant/Cleran. In fact, a number of the small churches on the low-lying St. Andrä mountains are home to masterpieces of the late Gothic period. The sacred aura and historical significance of these treasured works of art make the scenic Eisacktal Valley even more captivating.

The porphyry hill of St. Hippolyt is situatet in the north of the low mountain range of Tesimo. The 758m high hill stands lonely, away from the noise of the world, and offers a unique panoramic view far over the Adige Valley. No fewer than 20 villages and 40 castles can be seen from up here. Its exposed location also made it one of the oldest prehistoric settlements in South Tyrol. The Romanesque church is only open on certain religious holidays.

This contemplative cultural/historical hiking circuit on the Pfeffersberg mountain spans the seven churches above Brixen/Bressanone, testifying to the deep Christian beliefs of the local population. On the third Sunday of September, the annual pilgrimage is held in the church district of Brixen, known as the “Seven Church Procession”.

The three Holy Fountains in Trafoi are situated in a small chapel, which has been a place of pilgrimage for the Virgin Mary since the 15th century. The way to the place of pilgrimage is about 2.5 km long and always runs evenly, so it's suitable for baby strollers. In addition, the beautiful path to the Holy three Wells is accessible all year round.

From Brückele/Ponticello along the main road to the third turn, then follow the hiking path along the Stolla River to Stolla Alm hut; continue up-and-down to rato Plätzwiese high plateau (1,993 m).

The climatic terrain cure is a special form of exercise therapy characterised by activity adapted to one’s fitness level, endurance training, and time spent in the outdoors experiencing the landscape, which is carried out through a personalised walking programme.

So-called terrain hiking improves endurance and agility, increases speed and flexibility, reinforces the cardiovascular system, stimulates breathing activity and strengthens muscles, ligaments and joints. It has a positive impact on the metabolism, activates the digestive system and noticeably increases the expenditure of calories.
The climatic terrain cure is recommended for functional cardiovascular disorders, respiratory and metabolic disorders, and above all is a tried and tested method of primary prevention and general health promotion.
