From Ora on the Wine Road, you can reach a special holiday destination surrounded by nature: Aldino, with its village square and the Church of St. James the Greater and St. Helena. At the other end of the village is the festival ground. The panoramic drive up to the Monte Regolo high plateau has only been possible for a few decades. Although Aldino is a settlement dating back to pre-Christian times, for a long time the village was only accessible by cart or on foot.
The construction of the arched bridge over the Rio Nero Gorge, the longest bridge in South Tyrol, was a true pioneering achievement. The mill ensemble bears witness to the once-important cultivation of grain that made Aldino self-sufficient. They are an outpost of the Aldino Museum, where you can learn more about the area's past and see the legendary "Thalhof Treasure".
Aldino village (Aldein Dorf) is the starting point for exploring the idyllic Aldino mountain pastures, including the Lahner Hut, Schmieder Hut and Schönrast Hut - also accessible by e-bike. The hilly high plateau between Montagna and Monte San Pietro also provides numerous destinations for outdoor activities, such as Lake Colle and the GEOPARC Rio delle Foglie, one of the most impressive gorges in Europe. Above the gorge, there is a family-friendly Dinosaur Trail.
In winter, the nearby Oclini Skiing Area at 2,000 metres a.s.l. is a popular destination, situated between the twin peaks of Mt. Corno Nero and Mt. Corno Bianco in the Fiemme Dolomites.
