Environmentally-friendly travel

The Pragser Tal valley is accessible from 10.07. to 10.09.2025 from 9:30 am to 4 pm only by public transport, walking, cycling or upon presentation of a parking reservation or a valid transit permit; whereas from mid-September it is no longer necessary to book online to enter the Pragser Tal valley. You can reserve and pay for parking in the valley online. Have you booked an accommodation in  the Pragser Tal valley? Or do you plan on visiting a restaurant, store or other service providers there? An vehicle access permit will allow you access. This must be booked online at the following link. The €20 deposit is valid as a voucher for consumption.

In the period from 10.07. to 10.09. 2025, the same regulations apply to accessing the Pragser Wildsee lake as to entering the Pragser Tal valley. We suggest avoiding peak hours and scheduling your visit before 9:30 am or after 4 pm. From mid-September, the Pragser Wildsee lake is also accessible without an online booking. As an environmentally friendly and reliable alternative to the car, you can reach the Pragser Wildsee lake with the shuttle bus service (lines 439 and 442), which requires advance online booking and prepayment. Further information you get here.

From 10.07. to 10.09.2025, you can reach Plätzwiese/Prato Piazza with your own car only before 9:30 am and from 4 pm (subject to fee). Reserve your parking space in Brückele/Ponticello here online. The public bus line 443  takes visitors directly from Welsberg/Monguelfo and Toblach/Dobbiaco-Niederdorf/Villabassa to the Plätzwiese high plateau. Reservations are not required for the public bus route.

Between 31.05. and 12.10.2025, a shuttle runs from Toblach/Dobbiaco to the Auronzo hut as an alternative to the toll road. Note: You’ll need to book and pay online for both the outbound and return journeys. Remaining tickets, if available, can be purchased at the bus or train station in Toblach/Dobbiaco.

Important to know: Since May 2025, using the toll road to Drei Zinnen/Tre Cime is only possible with a prior online reservation. When booking, you choose a time slot for your drive up and pay the fee directly. Spontaneous trips without an online ticket are no longer permitted.

From 03.06. to 12.10.2025, the Fischleintal valley can only be reached via the Sexten-Fischleintal shuttle bus (from Sexten/Sesto), on foot, by bike or - if you have a valid transit permit - by car. Reservation, transit permit and the Fischleintal car park  can be reserved online. No reservations are required for the Sexten-Fischleintal shuttle bus service. For visitors outside of Sexten, we recommend taking public line 446 from Toblach/Dobbiaco to Innichen/S.Candido.

Plan your tour via high-Alpine passes here.

The Seiser Alm near Bolzano/Bozen is the largest high alpine pasture in Europe and boasts unrivalled views of the Dolomites. In the calming silence and pure air, enjoy hiking, climbing and biking in summer, and skiing, cross-country skiing or a romantic horse-drawn sleigh ride in winter.

In Pfelders/Plan, a picturesque mountain village at the end of the Passeiertal valley, people enjoy strolling or enjoying a ride in a horse-drawn carriage. Families in particular appreciate the quiet atmosphere in the midst of the Texelgruppe Nature Park for hiking or cycling tours in summer and downhill skiing in winter. Cars and motorbikes must be parked in the large car park in front of the village entrance; this parking regulation is in effect for cable car users.

You can travel between the car park, the village and the lifts with the "village express", a train on wheels, as well as via shuttle buses or horse-drawn carriages.

A true oasis of tranquillity, where tradition and innovation meet, is located on the Vigiljoch pass above Lana near Meran/Merano. South Tyrolean star architect Matteo Thun, who works in Milan, designed the Vigilius Mountain Resort, a sustainable design hotel. Time-honoured and modern elements have always been effortlessly combined on the Vigiljoch pass. As always, the only connection up from the valley is the Vigiljoch cable car.

Thanks to a sustainable development plan, the Ritten high plateau and the Rittner Horn mountain can be easily and comfortably accessed via public transport. There is plenty of parking near the valley and mountain stations: You can therefore leave your car there and continue your journey by public transport, walking or cycling. You can reach the Rittner Horn mountain from Bolzano/Bozen by cable car. Once you reach the top, take advantage of the Rittner Bahn railway, take the bus to get around, or just take a leisurely hike. The Rittner Seilbahn cable car, which transports guests to the Rittner Horn mountain, can also be reached by public transport.
