Grab your rucksack!
You are on the right track with our hiking tips
In sunny Oltradige, you are literally on the trail of nature as soon as you start your hike. Explore the lakes, forests, and mountains around Appiano and San Paolo, and then relax by our pool afterward. Here is a small selection of tours that our guests particularly enjoyed. With our hiking tips, you'll be on the right track.
On hot days, a particularly rewarding destination is the so-called Eislöcher near Appiano. A system of fissures between the porphyry blocks creates a constant, cool airflow. Around 600 plant species have settled in this unique spot!
To reach the Mendel, take the steepest funicular in Europe. From there, it takes about 90 minutes to reach the Penegal. Next, head to Furglau and then descend through the Furglauschlucht. The return journey can be made via Gleif Church or Castel Englar.
The hike from Girlan to the well-known castle above Bolzano takes about two hours. On the way, you will pass the Marklhof restaurant, a tip for gourmets with a beautiful sun terrace. The return journey can be made via the same route or by bus.
A pleasant walk takes you from San Michele through Pianizza di Sopra to Caldaro. It is worth visiting the historic town centre there. For the return journey, we recommend the cycle path, which often runs in the shade and offers regular seating spots.
If you're looking for something more relaxing, we recommend the various walking and field paths between San Michele and San Paolo – passing by lush gardens, beautiful manors, and inviting taverns, all with fantastic views of the surrounding area.
