Mountain adventures as individual as you. Hiking in South Tyrol
The themed trails in the Ahrntal Valley are known across the globe and are exceptionally popular with hikers. The natural surroundings here are as inspiring as they are incomparably rich in diversity – alpine roses, lush greenery, mighty rock massifs and vigorously babbling mountain streams characterise the landscape; an experience you’ll not forget.
From an extended circuit of the alpine pastures, taking up to 10 hours to walk, to the family ‘Witches’ trail’ and walks along the bottom of the valley, every wish is fulfilled. It is not just the summits which are simultaneously calm and elegant, the mountain lakes are calming in themselves too as are the Klamml, Klaus and Mühlwalder lakes, which sit like rare gems in the impressive scenery. The steep paths which go past these lakes make it possible for you to conquer the summit up to the Schwarzenstein, which, at 2398 metres altitude, towers above the surrounding three-thousand metre mountains; its beauty is hard to top.
But it isn’t just summiteers who will be amazed by the panorama, gourmets will be too. A journey on the Klausberg and Speikboden cable cars, which operate from early summer until late autumn, take you into a sea of summits, while the many traditional alpine inns tempt hikers in to enjoy the views and some traditional culinary flights of fancy. You can probably already sense that hiking in South Tyrol is an experience in itself.
