Treading paths individually, finding one's own path.

The Eisack Valley in South Tyrol lies on the north-south axis from the Brenner Pass north of Bolzano.
Tradition and modernity, reliability and spontaneity, honesty and cordiality can be felt here at every turn.

The Eisack Valley stretches over a length of 80 kilometers and connects different altitudes from 471 to 3,510 meters above sea level. Ever-changing perspectives allow you to experience its rich natural and cultural landscape. It is one of the main valleys of South Tyrol and is surrounded by picturesque side valleys.

The Ratschingstal, the Ridnauntal, the Jaufental, the Villnösser Tal, Lüsen, the Pfunderertal, the Valsertal, the Pflerschertal and the Pfitschertal inspire with original beauty. Thanks to the well-kept cultivated landscapes and the mild, partly Mediterranean climate, a centuries-old tradition of fruit, chestnut and wine growing has developed in the Eisack Valley. The symbiosis of alpine down-to-earthness and Italian dolce vita enriches the land, the people and the cuisine.

Hiking in the UNESCO World Natural Heritage Dolomites
Get on the track of the original nature in the Dolomite valley Villnöss. The Puez-Odle Nature Park located there has rightly been placed under the protection of UNESCO as a World Natural Heritage Site. A magnificent view of the jagged dolomite towers is offered by the Adolf Munkel Trail, which winds along the foot of the Geisler peaks and does not demand any high-alpine knowledge from the active. The Puez Geisler Nature Park House serves as a central information point and communicates the geological, biological and cultural treasures of the region. From June to September guided hikes are offered in the Puez Geisler Nature Park. A very gentle insight is offered by the Nature Experience Trail Zans, which is barrier-free and accessible with a maximum gradient of eight percent.
A special recommendation is the Almen Genussweg in the Villnöss Valley. At lofty heights it leads through the lush green alpine pastures past rustic huts. Typical Eisacktaler food is offered there.
