…spend your autumn holidays in the mountains

The Isarco Valley is one of the most beautiful destinations for a relaxing and eventful autumn vacation in the mountains! The forests transform into a sea of colour in red and gold, the yearly cattle drive is celebrated, and the wine and fruit harvests deliver delicious culinary delights. An autumn holiday in the mountains invites you to hike through the Isarco Valley, to enjoy shopping tours in the cities of Bressanone, Brunico and Bolzano and to visit many local festivals.

The Rodenegg Castle in the main village of Villa was built in 1140 by Frederick I von Rodank and is today owned by the descendants of the minstrel Oswald von Wolkenstein. The castle is primarily known for the eleven Iwein Frescoes. They tell of the adventures of Iwein, one of Artus’ Knights of the Round Table. From June to September, guided tours are offered – Mondays there are special guided tours for children.

Take a hike during your autumn holidays in the mountains, and discover the Isarco Valley and South Tyrol from its most beautiful side. Many themed hiking paths, such as on the Alpe di Siusi, the “Apple Hike” in Naz-Sciaves, the “Seven Lakes Trail” or the “Chestnut Path” will take you through the colourful nature during your autumn holidays in the mountains.

If you love the South Tyrolean cuisine, during your autumn holidays in the mountains you will have the opportunity to enjoy a feast for your senses. The Vipiteno Dumpling Festival, the Isarco Valley Chestnut Weeks and the Speck Festival in Funes will pamper you with South Tyrolean specialties.
