South Tyrol isn't one hiking area, but five, and they differ from one another more sharply than north and south of the Alps generally do. Hiking in South Tyrol means: following old Waalwege through vineyards and deep into the Texelgruppe around Merano; crossing the largest alpine plateau in Europe with a Dolomites panorama on the Alpe di Siusi; walking the Sonnenberg above orchards with views of the Ortler in Val Venosta; heading from Bressanone up to the Plose and into Val di Funes with the Geisler peaks in the Eisack Valley; or reaching the Kronplatz, Lago di Braies and the Tre Cime from Brunico in the Pustertal. In a single day you can wander through vineyards in the morning and stand before a Dolomites wall by the afternoon. This regional overview — along with the bookable multi-day tours for a walking holiday in Italy — is what you'll find here. If you're set on hut-to-hut walking, everything on that is in our hut-touring blog. For everyone else, this page maps out the full range of hiking in South Tyrol, complete with booked accommodation, luggage transfer and the Bookatrekking app with offline navigation, GPX tracks and weather forecasts for each stage location.
