In both summer and winter, Mt. Corno del Renon - easily reachable from Bolzano also by public transport - is a popular excursion destination. The Corno del Renon Ropeways take you from Pemmern up to the mountain, and then the real summit can be reached in a one-hour walk (200 m of altitude difference). The Panoramic Loop Trail at the Cima Lago Nero mountain station, however, offering a Kneipp basin and a Mountain Pine Labyrinth, is also suitable for prams.

The unforgettable 360-degree view from the top of Mt. Corno del Renon (Rittner Horn in German) includes the Ortles Alps, Oetztal Alps, Dolomites, Stubai and Zillertal Alps as well as the Brenta Group in the neighbouring Trentino. The mountain huts and restaurants invite to stop and relax.

In winter you might enjoy the family-friendly Corno del Renon skiing area, offering three lift facilities, 15 km of gentle, vast slopes and a snow park at the intermediate station. Also cross-country skiing, tobogganing, snow-shoeing and walking on the first certified winter hiking trail in Italy are popular activities you might enjoy.
