Get excited by the fascinating apple blossom or by the picturesque scenery of the “Gola di Lana” gorge at the feet of Braunsberg Castle. Come with us to this Alpine and Mediterranean world.

Lana, the largest fruit-growing village of South Tyrol, lies at the entrance of Val d’Ultimo, in the heart of a Mediterranean-alpine landscape, boasting also a series of attractions.

Lana di Sopra represents the centre of the municipality and is located at 313 m asl. It is characterised by its charming pedestrian zone “Am Gries”, an ideal meeting point for adults and kids.

Particularly striking are the castles and mansions enthroning the hills round Lana. What we particularly recommend is a visit to Castel Braunsberg, dominating the wild-romantic Gaulschlucht gorge. A walking trail and a suspension bridge take you to these ancient walls which still today is owned by the counts of Trapp. For this reason it can only be visited from the outside. By the way: the Gaulschlucht gorge also offers an interesting culture trail.

However, also the natural landscape in higher altitudes can easily be experienced, thanks to the Monte San Vigilio funicular. Its lower terminus is located in the north of the Valsura dam and it takes you to a perfect starting point for mountain tours in the surroundings within a short time only.

Our tip: worth seeing is the Capuchin monastery with adjacent church.
