Summer Vacation in Vinschgau valley – Rediscover South Tyrol

Find peace. Feel the open space.

Silence instead of hustle and bustle. Open spaces instead of crowds. In Vinschgau valley, in western South Tyrol, you’ll find a summer vacation that’s deliberately different: unspoiled, peaceful, and far away from crowded hotspots.

Between the glaciers of the Ortler Group, sunny slopes, and quiet side valleys, a landscape full of contrasts unfolds—and at the same time, full of space. Here you’ll experience South Tyrol at a slower pace: with time, space, and true nature.

Summer in Vinschgau valley takes you up high: to crystal-clear mountain lakes, scenic hiking trails, and impressive peaks around the Ortler. Whether by bike or during a break at rustic alpine huts, nature becomes your constant companion—intense, yet never overcrowded.

The summer offerings showcase the region’s diversity: nature, outdoor activities, and small cultural moments in the villages of the Vinschgau valley. Everything is close by, yet nothing feels cramped.
