On the lush green Nörderberg mountain, meadows, forests, and streams invite you to refreshing hikes, while the sunny, dry Sonnenberg mountain surprises you with its sparse, almost Mediterranean flora and fauna – unique in the Alps. This striking contrast makes Vinschgau valley a true paradise for hikers and mountaineers.
In spring and autumn, you’ll enjoy mild weather and clear views. Even in winter, the Sonnenberg mountain is mostly snow-free, offering rare hiking opportunities for the season. In summer, the shaded trails of the Nörderberg mountain are the perfect choice for relaxing tours.
