Sightseeing
Unforgettable and fun summer holiday experiences. You can reach your favourite destinations comfortably by bus and train with no extra cost.
Our very personal insider tips for an exciting summer holiday:
· The Gilfenklamm Gorge in Racines
It is the world´s only gorge that carved its way through pure white marble. A hiking trail crosses the 2.5 km long natural beauty over a suspension bridge and stairs, where visitors can admire the uniqueness of mother nature.
· Ridanna Monteneve Mining World
The Ridanna mine is one of the highest positioned in Europe. A tour of the tunnels and a visit to the mining museum are highly recommended.
· Vipiteno
Only a few kilometres from Racines you can visit the city of Vipiteno. Many small cafés, boutiques and restaurants invite you to stroll around and enjoy the city. A few years ago, the Vipiteno was ranked amongst the most beautiful Italian smaller settlements. Particularly worth seeing is the dairy plant in Vipiteno, where the processing of milk into yoghurt can be witnessed.
Motorcycling
In the immediate neighbourhood, curvy and picturesque mountain pass roads such as the Passo di Pennes, the Passo di Monte Giovoand the Passo del Rombo are waiting for you to be discovered.
