Walking paths

Pleasant strolls, easy valley hikes at low altitudes, and promenades for relaxing and enjoying the sun

The promenades in the Mediterranean climate of Bolzano and Merano are well-known, winding their way up the hillsides or following in the footsteps of Empress Sissi to Trauttmansdorff Castle. A walk through the Spring Valley - particularly inspiring during the first weeks of spring - or a hike on the Val Racines Valley Path are also ideal ways to explore South Tyrol on foot.

The walks described here are based on personal experiences. They are intended for relaxation and recreation and follow relatively flat paths through the valleys and forests of South Tyrol. While they may take up to three hours to complete, they are not difficult. Enjoy exploring:
