Ahrntal/Valle Aurina

There is certainly no shortage of opportunities to enjoy the power of nature to the full here. And you experience this all the more intensely in the mountain spring. As soon as the snow melts on the over 80 high peaks, the many waterfalls in the Ahrntal valley are fed with meltwater and can no longer be ignored. Experience water in a fun way on a ride on the Fly Line waterfall at the Reinbach waterfalls.

Follow the revitalising spring sunshine along the Ahrntal Sun Trail, which was once used as a smugglers' path on the border to the Zillertal Alps. Today, you hike through blooming meadows and past cosy alpine pastures that invite you to stop for a bite to eat and enjoy the view. The Mühlwald sunny side can also be explored in pleasant temperatures, especially in spring. Old farms, well-tended gardens and colourful meadows line your journey of discovery through this unique cultural landscape. You can inspire your family with legends about a lost treasure or the downfall of Walburg Castle on the Sagenweg trail in Ahrntal. This family-friendly hike leads through the flat valley floor of Sand in Taufers to the little church of St. Walburg. The villages of the region await you with family-run shops, where local artisans and producers offer unique creations and homemade products.

During the “Cable Cars Free” weeks, you can use the lift facilities in the Ahrntal free of charge.

Participating accommodation providers of the tourist associations in Ahrntal and Sand in Taufers offer the Südtirol Guest Pass. In May and June, this pass allows you to use the cable cars to Klausberg and Speikboden, the two main hiking areas in the region, free of charge. Between welcoming alpine huts, characteristic mountain refuges, clear mountain lakes and hiking trails, everyone finds what they are looking for here, from relaxed walks to high-altitude adventures, for both young and old, for anyone who loves the mountains and nature. The lifts in the Klausberg area are open from May 15, while those in the Speikboden area are open from May 30, 2026.
