On a sunny, high plateau amidst the Dolomites of the Eisacktal valley, lies the municipality of Natz-Schabs, a heart-shaped high plateau of apples, along with its holiday villages Natz, Schabs, Raas/Rasa, Viums/Fiumes, and Aicha/Aica. As the name already hints, everything here is about South Tyrol’s sweet fruit: Numerous apple orchards characterise the surroundings during apple-trail walks and hikes. During the apple weeks or apple festival, learn all there is to know about this delicious fruit. The plateau features an expansive Nordic-walking course with biking and hiking trails perfectly designed for an extended stroll as well as hikes and easy cycling tours.
