Lush autumn

What makes autumn in South Tyrol so unique? The yellow larch trees, colourful Waalwege canal trails, busy squirrels and snow-white mountain peaks.

Nature serves up its richest treasures and we South Tyroleans do the same. Look forward to the Speciality Weeks and Gourmet Festivals with everything from lamb to Speck Alto Adige and from potatoes to chestnuts. The Indian summer lingers. Are you attracted to the outdoors by the clear air and pleasant temperatures, to go hiking and cycling? Or do you prefer to watch the cattle in their festive decoration being driven down from the Alpine pastures as part of the autumn cattle drive into the valley or the harvesting of the grapes and picking of the apples ?

Special moments in autumn

The hustle and bustle is over the pace of life slows down a little for the people of South Tyrol. The warm temperatures, magnificent colourful forests and clear air beckon outside. 

The right accommodation for you

Love waking up in the mountains and looking for a hiking hotel? Enjoy the mix of Mediterranean and Alpine lifestyle in the valley? Or do you prefer the down-to-earth links with nature on a farm? We have the perfect host for you.

5 reasons for an autumn holiday in South Tyrol

  1. There is no better time to enjoy the view of the mountains than autumn: peace returns and nature shows off its most colourful side at the Alpine huts and Mountain refuges.
  2. Ochre-yellow, fiery red, deep blue. Larch forests, vineyards, high-Alpine pastures. Nature invests its last energy in a bright array of colours. Your photos will never be more colourful.
  3. The people of South Tyrol have to complete a few things before winter arrives. Lively rituals fill the weeks in autumn: autumn cattle drives, the wine and apple harvest and the autumn markets and harvest festivals.
  4. We locals call that Törggelen  - our fifth season. Leisurely hikes and feasting at farm taverns are a must.
  5. South Tyroleans have close ties with nature and its treasures. Autumn is about cooking up a storm and Speciality Weeks attract gourmet fans to the beautiful old inns.

Gourmet indulgence in autumn

When does autumn arrive in South Tyrol? When crunchy apples are paired with sweet chestnuts and smoked meat with sauerkraut; when farmers are busy rolling Knödel dumplings and stuffing pastry parcels - then autumn is finally here.

Stop off at a farm

During autumn, farmers invite visitors to their farmhouse taverns and serve the produce of their wine cellars and kitchens: sausages and smoked meats, sauerkraut and dumplings, Schlutzer and Krapfen, sweet treats and chestnuts. The best way to get to know the land and its people: by feasting!

Picture perfect landscapes

Gentle lighting, warm colours: autumn is an artist And for the South Tyroleans themselves, this is the best time for hiking. The climbs and trails are quieter and it’s more relaxed at the Alpine pastures and inns. Lace up your hiking boots and walk through the low mountain ranges, along the Chestnut and Wine Trails: the low sun makes the vines and chestnut trees shine bright. Treat your mountain bike to a tour through the forests of golden-yellow larch trees.

The first snows settle on the mountain tops, the craggy summits and ridges appear blurred before being bathed in glowing red by the setting sun. Summer has come to an end. Everything is beautiful.

In picturesque Borghi

They are situated at key intersections, on large rivers, protected by the mountains. They have walls and city gates from their time as an important centre of trade. They still exude the spirit which attracted well-travelled artists and powerful aristocratic families here. South Tyrol’s picturesque small towns await.

Experience all the seasons

South Tyrol is about much more than just skiing or hiking. Have you ever hiked on a glacier or trampled through the deep snow in snow shoes? Have you conquered a peak via a via ferrata or enjoyed a ride out surrounded by panoramic mountains?
