Hiking in Val Venosta

The charm of the South Tyrolean mountains

Without a doubt, Val Venosta is one of the most beautiful hiking areas in South Tyrol. And this applies to the whole year! The ample sunshine, the mild temperatures and the unique and contrasting vegetation of Monte Sole in Val Venosta and Monte Tramontana ensure unforgettable experiences for seasoned hikers or beginners. Whether it's dizzying heights or walks along the paths of the canal, each tour offers a breath-taking view and the chance for a break in the various mountain huts.
