The Rosskopf mountain is not only famed for its panoramic terrace overlooking the so-called “Fuggerstadt” of Sterzing/Vipiteno, but also for the countless activities it offers. The cable car shuttles you up to the sunny high plateau at an altitude of around 2,000 m in just a few minutes. The sunny high plateau opens up kilometres of long alpine and panoramic tours. The Dolomieu Trail, named after the explorer of the Dolomites, Deodat de Dolomieu, starts here and leads you to the Pflerschtal valley. French geologist Dolomieu first discovered the dolomite rock at the foot of the Tribulaun mountain in 1791. Your hike in the unspoiled alpine wilderness will also take you to a mountain hut for a culinary break. From here, you’ll marvel at the sweeping views over the Zillertal Alps, the Dolomites and the Sarntal Alps, all the way to the Stubai Alps. For a family adventure, you can try the 1,300 km long Rosskopf mountain coaster, with 300 m of elevation and a maximum speed of around 40 km/hr. From June, the Rossy Park Zoo promises beautiful moments with llamas, goats and rabbits.

How about a creamy natural yoghurt? Or a hand-made woollen blanket from locally farmed sheep? You will find a wide range of local,  high-quality foods and handcrafted articles for daily use in Sterzing and environs, as in the rest of South Tyrol.

Many producers sell straight from the farm where you can sample the treats and find out what the high quality criteria are for lamb and pork in Wippland. Producers in the cooperative have committed to sustainable animal husbandry including lots of free-roaming in the fields and meadows and the use of natural animal feed.

During a town or village stroll, you might be lucky enough to observe craftsmen at work and watch over their shoulder as they make jewellery, wooden sculptures or baskets. Craftsmanship has a long-standing tradition in South Tyrol. This allows us to create products that are only available here.
