Holidays on the Ritten mountain

The local mountain of Bolzano/Bozen with panoramic views, hikes and the Rittner Horn ski area

The local mountain of South Tyrol's capital city is easy to ascend with the Rittnerbahn cable car, providing a fantastic, 360° view of Dolomite peaks, hikes from vineyards all the way up to 2,200 m, and the earth pyramids, a unique natural phenomenon. Holidaymakers will find extremely varied vegetation and innumerable active options on the sunny high plateau due to the different high altitudes: the spectrum ranges from simple strolls to farmhouse taverns to skiing in the Rittner Horn ski area. A ride with the narrow-gauge railway is a particularly rewarding experience. It was built in 1907 to connect the villages of Maria Himmelfahrt/Maria Assunta, Oberbozen/Soprabolzano, Wolfsgruben/Costalovara, Lichtenstern/Stella di Renon, and Klobenstein/Collalbo.

Sustainable Ritten/Renon

Ritten was officially listed as a summer retreat 450 years ago and among others in South Tyrol, it has been recognised as a sustainable destination. In April 2023, Ritten was awarded the highest sustainability standard for its exemplary mobility. This area offers a wide variety of scenic hiking trails winding though sunny vineyards and crossing the Rittner Horn mountain at 2,260 m, varied views on e-bike routes and "promenades on the mountain". To embrace a comprehensive mobility, all are very easy to reach by public transport. Upon your arrival in Ritten, you can start taking advantage of a car-free holiday by taking a comfortable cable car ride from Bolzano/Bozen train station to the panoramic plateau at about 1,000 m above sea level. A co-ordinated bus network and a unique narrow-gauge railway let you easily explore the "Riviera of the Dolomites" and enjoy the jaw-dropping views of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage Site at any time of year.
