Our local mountain, Mount Plose
A day of hiking on Mount Plose – the cable car is only 1.5 km from the farm (free with the BrixenCard, which you’ll receive from us). There are plenty of hiking trails up there.
The Woody Walk – so much more than just hiking. Playing and being amazed are paramount on this unique trail…. for small and large children. The view of the spectacular mountains is unique.
The Brixner Höhenweg, also known as the Zirmhöhenweg, is a very scenic panoramic path to the lodge Ochsenalm.
Paragliding with our neighbour Florian. Start on Mount Plose and land directly in our meadows “Frötscherwiesen.”
Bressanone & Surroundings
A Törggele hike across the vineyards on the valley floor of the Isarco Valley from the Monastery of Novacella to Lake Varna is a must in autumn. You can stop at one of the typical local taverns that serve excellent home-style cooking. In spring there are wonderful walks along the river Isarco, a “promenade” between blooming orchards and vineyards to the Monastery of Novacella.
Spring excursions, in the low mountain range, an ocean of blossoms.
In autumn, a chestnut hike in the middle Isarco Valley, the “Keschtnweg” (Chestnut Trail), from Velturno to Abbey of Sabiona, to Chiusa, from there back by bus to Velturno. And refreshments in the Törggele taverns with traditional cuisine and young wine.
For hot days
A hike on Sas de Putia, at the foot of the mountains. The starting point is Passo delle Erbe.
The “Geislerkino” (Odle Cinema), across the Funes Valley to the Odle Alp, is well worth a trip.
On extremely hot days you may visit the Gorge Gilfenklamm near Racines, close to the city of Vipiteno. It is a canyon made of pure white marble. A true adventure for children.
Mountain lodges take care of your physical well-being with South Tyrolean specialties.
