Holiday day trips in South Tyrol

The Dolomite peaks loom far into South Tyrol. In the attractive villages in the Eggen valley and Grödner valley craftwork is an important economic factor, that and the the hillside farmsteads. All sorts of wood carvings can be admired and of course purchased here. Mountaineering is the dominant sport here and the Dolomites are a climbers' paradise with 10 high altitude routes. Go for a stroll or do a spot of shopping in the quaint "Fugger" town of Sterzing, highly attractive with its mediaeval flair, set amidst the Dolomites.  
 

At Lake Garda there is a wide range of sports on offer to help pass the time. Fishing, kite surfing, sailing, surfing or diving - a day at Italy's largest lake can be full of variety. The towns bordering the lake buzz during the summer months. The sub-mediterranean climate is ideal for vineyards and the vegetation is lush and surprisingly southern.
 

The South Tyrol wine route is recommendable to visitors between April and November. Here you can taste the excellent produce whilst enjoying the beautiful natural surroundings. The mine at Ridnaun is also worth a visit. Initially silver and lead mining was carried out here, later zinc mining.
Now visitors can see under which conditions miners worked in the past. For further information and suggestions for day trips, please contact the reception at the Tirolensis hotel.
