There is no single “best” walking season – each has its own special appeal.

Most mountain huts and Alpine pasture inns open in spring and stay open into autumn, depending on the weather and altitude.
Opening times can change, so just ask us before you head out. We usually know where a South Tyrolean snack platter is already waiting.

Waalwege are paths that follow South Tyrol‘s historic irrigation channels, known as “Waale”.
The lovely thing about them is that they are usually easy to walk, with little climbing, and take you right through our beautiful countryside. Perfect for anyone who would rather enjoy the scenery than count metres of ascent.

Very quickly! The Lagundo Waalweg is practically on our doorstep, and the Marlengo Waalweg is also within easy reach.

Simply lace up your walking shoes, set off and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

Spring and autumn are particularly lovely: first everything blossoms, then the landscape glows with autumn colours.
The Waalwege are wonderful in summer too, especially where flowing water and shade offer a little respite from the heat.
