In South Tyrol, the focus is on getting around by bus and train rather than by private car. In the mountains, cable cars, mountain lifts and gondolas also play an important role. Bus and train timetables are coordinated with each other. In the Vinschgau Valley, local public transport is mainly provided by trains, buses and shuttle services.

The Venosta Valley train with panoramic windows and a spacious interior for luggage and bikes is one of the most modern regional trains in Europe. It runs quietly through the valley from Merano/Meran to Malles/Mals, along the "sun mountain" with its vineyards, and past the marble village of Lasa/Laas and the Tarces hill.
