Hiking holidays in South Tyrol

Time-out & adventures in nature

Hiking in the Passeier Valley offers a fantastic year-round experience of nature, whether surrounded by lush green meadows and forests in summer or glistening white mountains in winter. Our hiking hotels in South Tyrol are the ideal starting point for exploring a range of hiking routes in the South Tyrolean mountains.

We also offer weekly guided hikes and sunrise hikes with our hiking guides Luis and Karl as part of the active fitness programme.

Our hiking tips in the Passeiertal Valley

For leisurely hikes, we recommend the Hirzer area, easily reached by cable car from Saltaus, as well as alpine hut hikes around Pfelders and Lazins, to Ulfas Alm or Egger-Grub-Alm. More active hikers will find challenging routes along the Jaufen ridge, on sections of the Merano High Mountain Trail or on summit hikes to Hirzer, Matatz, Fleckner and Jaufen. At lower elevations, the gorge trail between St. Leonhard and Moos is a great alternative.

The gorge trail along the Passer river

At almost 8 km in length, the gorge trail along the Passer is as exciting as it is spectacular. You’ll pass through a beautiful water wonderland with waterfalls, gorges and green river banks. Sometimes the path leads you directly along the water, sometimes along the crag at a height of 200 metres. Feel the incredible power of the Passer and experience the magical beauty of South Tyrol’s nature.
