Can’t stop and Won’t stop!

Near the Austrian-Italian border, on the south side of the Alps, two cultures fuse which at first glance couldn’t be any more different from one another: Nordic precision and discipline here unite with Italian dolce vita and heartiness. Thus, over centuries, an exciting but harmonious fusion developed, charming and fascinating for everyone who enters the region. The wide range of activities and sites in South Tyrol is respectively diverse and interesting.

Here are some of our personal favorite picks:

• The Ritten mountain – Historic summer retreat
  The Cable Car Renon is about a 10-minute-walk from Wohnzimmer. Hop on and go enjoy a breathtaking view of the Dolomites on Bozen’s favorite mountain for summer retreat. Also, Ritten offers 200 km of hiking trails, it is home of earth pyramids, a refreshing pond and lots more....For more info go to Ritten’s tourist office website.
• Take a dip at the Montiggl Lakes
  If you’re travelling south on the Wine Route on a warm summer’s day, then you should definitely stop by the lakes. Surrounded by lovely forests these two lakes offer great water quality and an ideal spot to relax!
• Schloss Tirol Castle
  Right above Meran lies Tirol Castle, the seat of Tyrolean Earls and Counts until the 15th century. Today it makes for a great exhibit of South Tyrolean history. The Castle’s neighbor is the Bird Care Center where bird shows are held regularly.
• Skiing in South Tyrol
  The Dolomites to the east, the main Alpine crest to the north, the Ortler mountains and Sulden in the west, and Bozen right in the middle. All ski resorts are easily accessible from here and they cover all the preferences: families, sledgers, cross country lovers, winter hikers and slope junkies.
