Family tips for every season

With a southern-like climate, families already experience mild temperatures in spring and are invited to stay in the countryside: cycling along the South Tyrolean rivers, hiking in a Nature Park with snow-covered peaks in view. In the summer, the family program is divided into refreshing moments at high altitudes or underwater. It has a wide range of options: from a family hike to the waterfall or along ancient "Waale", the traditional canal trails, to swimming in Kalterer See lake.

Outdoor days will be warm in autumn until November - it all seems made for spending your time in a magnificent colorful landscape. With the "Törggelen", for instance, you come one step closer to farm life. Even rainy weather doesn't dampen the mood: many castles, palaces and museums keep their doors open until All Saints' Day

And in winter? The snow, ice and crisp winter air don't lock you at home. Whether on the ice rink or skiing and tobogganing in the ski resorts, the South Tyrolean winter unleashes its colors!
