Vinschgau valley, active in the natural and cultural region of South Tyrol
From Blossom to Glacier: Discover the Contrasts of South Tyrol
Mighty glacier regions, alpine high trails, and quiet side valleys merge with blooming fruit orchards, a Mediterranean climate, and breathtaking expanses.
In the Vinschgau valley, you’ll find the Ortler, South Tyrol’s highest mountain at 3,905 meters, framed by the untouched landscapes of the Stelvio National Park and the Texel Group Nature Park. Mountaineering on impressive 3,000-meter peaks or hiking along historic irrigation channel paths "Waalwege", the sunny Sonnenberg mountain, and to alpine pastures and refuges. With the Adige Cycling Trail along the historic Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, natural trails for (E-)mountain bikers, famous road cycling routes like Italy’s highest mountain pass Stilfserjoch, and wide, perfectly prepared slopes for skiing, plus classic ski tours through pristine winter landscapes, every day is an adventure. Cultural highlights such as the UNESCO intangible heritage "Transhumance", the famous place of discovery of Ötzi, the glacier mummy, numerous castles and fortresses, tell the stories of a region that for centuries has been a melting pot of cultures from Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. Food lovers will also be fully satisfied: From Vinschgau valley apricots and asparagus to strawberries and apples grown here in Europe’s highest cultivation area, to fine wines and Slow Food products, the Vinschgau valley reflects its authenticity and quality in its culinary offerings as well.
