The Pinot Noir walkway leads through the Pinot Nor growing area along the Trudner Horn/Monte Corno Nature Park and the characteristic villages of Auer/Ora, Montan/Montagna and Neumarkt/Egna. The Pinot Noir growing area in Montan and Mazon/Mazzon is one of the most famous in Italy. Furthermore you walk through several monuments and historical places. The walkway is family-friendly and not dangerous.

From Aldein to Petersberg and from here to the most important pilgrimage site “MariaWeißenstein”

This segment leads from the famed Pinot Noir village of Montan, situated at an elevation of 500 meters above sea-level, to Gfrill at more than 1,300 meters above sea-level. Proceed via the railroad line of the former Fleims Valley railroad until you come to the Glen Waterfall. From there, the trail is uphill via the hamlet of Gsteig (rest-stop, food/drink, and overnight lodgings) towards Gschnon, where there are additional lodging options. You will then take the last part of the route from the Kalkofen parking lot along forest paths and over the Gfrill Saddle until you arrive in Gfrill, the final destination of this segment.

Helpful hint for this route: Take the little side-trip from Gsteig to the impressive "Kanzel" looming high above the Unterland. You'll be rewarded with a fantastic view!

A carriage ride through the Eppaner landscape with wine tasting.
10 am: Meeting point Town Hall Square St. Michael | Appiano
Duration 2-3 hours
Costs€ 18 adults, € 8 Children (2-12 years)
  Registration at the tourist office

Cozy and quiet playground for children located in Perdonig | Eppan town.

The starting point of our tour around the historic centre of Tramin is the Rathausplatz. This square is named after the town hall - an attractive building whose present appearance only dates from the 19th century.
The real landmark of the town is: the parish church. The parish church is dedicated to St. Quirikus and Julitta and is a foundation of the Langobardic Count Rodengo, around 850.
The choir room was constructed towards the end of the 14th century, but the nave with the side naves were only built in 1911. The frescoes in the choir room on the right side point to the ordeal of Julitta (mother) and Quirikus (son).
The main altar was erected in place of a precious gothic altar at the end of the 18th century (today in the Bavarian national museum, a work by Master Klocker, pupil of the famous Michael Pacher). The altarpiece comes from Martin Knoller, a significant South Tyrolean painter.

We continue our tour and visite some other interesting buildings:
The manor of the Langenmantel family, which – from a feudal perspective – is reminiscent of better times. Let us look for instance at the marble blazon with the inscription RR, a hint to the progenitor Rüdiger von Langenmantel. In the 15th century, a branch of the noble family moved from Augsburg (Germany) to Tramin where they achieved prosperity and political influence and hence erected a stately home to demonstrate their status.
In the manner of the so-called “Clesian Renaissance”, the doors and windows of the manor were garlanded with elegant marble frames, and a fine oriel came to embellish the north-eastern corner of the residential wing.

The most famous work of art in Tramin and one of the most famous throughout the region depicts the little St. Jakob’s church on a hill overlooking the village. Still in very good condition there’s a Roman fresco cycle from around the time 1220. What you might normally recognise as stony sculptures can be admired here as a colourful painting. Strange hybrids made of man and animal populate the walls of the altar room. Fish and birdmen fighting with each other, a cenotaph a figure with a dog’s head a skiapod and other fantasy figures from the middle ages clearly embody the sinful contrast to the dignified Apostles and Christ of the mandorla. But the paintings finished by Ambrosius Gander according to inscriptions from 1441 in the southern wing where amongst others the famous legendary pilgrims get told through high quality ad colourful pictures are worthy of note.

Come and discover the history of Tramin.

Accessible from the village via the San Antonio sports area, the Bärental hiking trail is both a hiking option to Lake Kaltern and an access route to the lower part of the Rastenbach gorge. Not new, but with a new look and a new platform, this trail offers space for spending time in nature and spectacular views around the lake and the Rastenbach gorge itself. For the Bärental hiking trail, just follow the no. 13 signpost and discover the forest of Castelvecchio, the gorge, the steps and the newly constructed stairs. The new viewing platform offers an additional opportunity for a panoramic view. The only requirement for this hike is the ability to withstand heights.

Through the vineyards to Kurtatsch

We hike to the wine road - junction Neumarkt/Kurtatsch and after 30 m turn left into the Brenntalweg. Follow this asphalted road for about 3 km. Continue straight on and you will see signs for the "Millastiege". We follow these and climb up through the rocks to the wine road before the village of Kurtatsch.

For the way back we take the hiking trail Kastelaz or the less frequented panoramic road via Rungg. You will find the corresponding signs in the village of Kurtatsch.

The Corno di Tres offers a wonderful view over the Bassa Atesina holiday region and the remaining Adige valley. The tour begins on the Favogna road, right about 3 km after Fennhals along trail 3, Corno di Tres. For a round trip, a climb over the saddle (marking 7, Fennhals) is also possible (11km, 865hm, 4h40m). Once on top, pass the Rätersteig (always sign no. 3) on the right to Fenner Joch (1563 m). From there on, the somewhat steep Barbara path to the summit. In the same way back to Favogna.
