South Tyrol’s fifth season is known

as Törggelen, when in autumn

the new wine is tasted and served with

chestnuts (Keschtn in South Tyrol)

and local dishes in the farmhouse inns.

Apple strudel is an absolute

classic of South Tyrolean cuisine.

Usually made with shortcrust pastry,

it tastes best in an Alpine hut along

with a glass of good local wine.

So many strudels are produced each

year in South Tyrol that, if they

were laid end to end, they would

reach from Bolzano to Merano.

Hiking and Mountaineering

With the sun on your back and your rucksack packed, now where? The peaks, pinnacles and towers of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage site, gleam in the morning light, their summits enticing you upwards. Are they even more beautiful from the summit? The valleys are criss-crossed with trails through vineyards and apple orchards, past imposing castles, around enchanting lakes and along old irrigation canals. South Tyrol has more than 16,000 kilometres of signposted hiking trails that run through the ever-changing natural landscape, including themed trails and farm hikes, tours lasting several days and high-Alpine trails. So which trail would you like to take?

Classics such as the South Tyrolean Marende (traditional snack) or fried egg and potatoes are perfectly complemented on the Alpine hut menus with such fine dishes as hay soup and pasta pockets stuffed with nettles. Many huts are small and old-fashioned whilst others are elegant and innovative, offering sophisticated cuisine and a wide choice of wines. Spectacularly located mountain huts provide shelter from wind and rain. The highest, the Becherhaus, is located at an altitude of 3,195 metres.

Etschtal Cycle Path, surrounded

with the whole family.

Which are South Tyrol’s finest cycle tours? It all depends. This region has it all – the Mediterranean charm of the valleys, steep mountain passes, magnificent peaks and gentle high-Alpine pastures. The valley cycle paths are ideal for families: the southern aspect shows the Alps at their gentlest and their upper reaches often provide spectacular views. On top, from the Val Venosta/Vinschgau mountains to the Dolomite regions, there are countless lengthy trails where mountain bikers can find their flow, whilst many of the passes are household names for racing cyclists. Why? Because there is scarcely anything finer than standing on the top after a tough ascent, enjoying views that are second to none.

There is plenty for mountain bikers to enjoy in South Tyrol: bizarre rock worlds and historic military roads in the Dolomites, flowing trails in the Val Venosta valley, shaded forest trails and quiet meadow trails in the Valle Isarco valley, and hundreds of kilometres of forest roads and single tracks between the Montiggler See and Kalterer See lakes. Numerous cable cars and bike shuttles additionally offer riders a quick and easy means of ascent, permitting even more descents.

Montesole trailThe name says it all: Monte Sole (or Sonnenberg in German) means “Sun Mountain”. This trail on the Sonnenberg mountain in Val Venosta can be ridden nearly all year round and is accessible either by cable car from Laces/Latsch to San Martino al Monte/St. Martin im Kofel or via the road from Castelbello/Kastelbell.

ingredients

200 ml water, 20 g yeast, 2 tbsp sugar,

150 g flour, 100 g rye flour, 15 g salt, 1 tbsp oil,

1 tsp each of aniseed and caraway, 500 g figs,

dried and cut into cubes or strips, 250 g raisins,

orange peel and cinnamon, 1 pinch each of

powdered cloves, allspice and nutmeg, nuts,

almonds (shelled), candied cherries as decora-

tion, honey or sugar syrup to glaze

Preparation

Mix the yeast and sugar with the lukewarm water, then let rise for about 10 minutes.

Add the flour, rye flour, salt, oil, anise and cumin and knead to a dough in a mixer.

Let stand covered at 35°C for 30 minutes for the dough to rise. Marinate the figs,

raisins, sultanas, nuts, pine nuts, almonds, candied lemon peel and candied orange

peel in the white wine, rum and honey for at least one hour so the Zelten acquires a

good aroma. Add the lemon and orange peel, cinnamon, powdered cloves, allspice

Sit back and take your time – in South

Tyrol relaxed southern attitudes and

a vibrant wine culture blend with the

down-to-earth Alpine outlook on life.

South Tyrol is world famous for its wine, smoked ham and apples – and rightly so. On closer inspection, however, South Tyrol’s cuisine turns out to be much more varied. Down-to-earth farmhouse cooking, seasoned with Mediterranean charm, are the ingredients for the distinctive taste. Southern influences are clear when it comes to eating and drinking, whether it’s enjoying a sociable aperitif, mouth- watering antipasti, handmade pasta variations or the inevitable Caffè to round off the meal. Spinach dumplings and apple strudel are classics of South Tyrolean cuisine, and in recent years these have been sensitively complemented with innovations and international influences.

The excellence of South Tyrol’s cuisine is reflected both in its numerous award-winning restaurants, as well as on a smaller scale. High up in the mountains, in simple restaurants or charming wine cellars – everywhere the emphasis is on quality, whether in the ingredients, the preparation or the wine selection. The menus contain as many contrasts as the land itself: Kasnocken (dumplings made with melted cheese) and buckwheat cake can be found alongside sophisticated pasta dishes and Panna Cotta.

original törggelenThe name Törggelen is used to describe South Tyrol’s fifth season, when in autumn farmers open up their homes and cellars for the tasting of the new wine, served up with chestnuts and farmhouse dishes. The Original Törggelen (Törggelen am Ursprung) project aims to certify farms growing grapes and chestnuts, serving authentic dishes and their own wine, offering genuine hospitality and an insight into the rural way of life.

Merano MarketThe Merano Market (Meraner Markt) is held every Saturday from March to October, with fascinating pop-up stores selling only South Tyrolean natural and handicraft products. The market stalls were designed by Martino Gamper, a renowned designer and native of Merano.

What better way to discover a region’s culinary specialities than at the market? The traditional markets of South Tyrol – whether weekly, yearly or farmers’ markets – are the ideal place to get to know both the variety of South Tyrolean products and the people who make them. There are also over 150 wineries where you can enjoy tastings, guided tours and buy wine. The shopping streets in the towns are recommended too, with Italian boutiques and traditional shops offering a wide range of clothes and shoes.

With its clean lines, warm colours and outstanding levels of comfort, the Therme Meran spa masterfully fuse contemporary architecture with the city’s great spa tradition. Wellness hotels with views of the Dolomites, water worlds with extensive sauna areas and indoor swimming pools are also ideal for combining the power of water, temperature and exercise to produce a feeling of relaxation.

Thermal Bath and Indoor Pools

Cascade, tauferer ahrntalThe Cascade Baths in the Tauferer Ahrntal valley offer a bathing culture of pleasure and relaxation in harmony with nature. In 2011 the building was awarded first prize in an architectural competition for the tourism sector. Energy efficiency and conservation play a leading role in its construction methods and ongoing operation. This commitment typifies the region: Campo Tures, South Tyrol’s first climate municipality, is dedicated to protecting the environment.

The modern thermal bath, designed

by Matteo Thun, continue the long

tradition of Merano as a spa town.

The bathing culture of South Tyrol has a long tradition of baths that use mineral-rich water and hay to produce a relaxing, soothing and analgesic effect. Hay baths are still popular today. The water from 32 recognised springs is used for sulphur and healing baths, while precious South Tyrolean products such as milk, wine and apples are employed in spa treatments.

the South tyrolean apple Bath An apple bath has revitalising

and purifying effects and

stimulates the circulation.

Apples keep you fit and are

particularly efficient as an

anti-aging product, relaxing

the skin and muscles to pro-

duce a delicate skin, while also

containing lots of valuable

ingredients.

the South tyrolean Wine Bath A South Tyrolean Weinbadl begins

with a body exfoliation using wine

marc followed by a brief rest. The

bather is then wrapped in a linen

sheet before being immersed in a

tub of hot water, whilst enjoying

a glass of red wine, and then

emerging for a massage with

grape seed oil.

the South tyrolean Milk Bath The Empress Sissi was

convinced of the beneficial

effects of whey and you can

now enjoy a Sissi bath at the

Therme Meran spa. In South

Tyrol the milk used comes from

humanely kept animals, which

are often able to enjoy the

especially herb-rich hay up on

the Alpine pastures.

Typical Wellness Treatments

the South tyrolean hay Bath After a gruelling day’s haymak-

ing 130 and more years ago,

peasants would sleep the night

on layers of hay and wake the

next morning feeling refreshed

and full of energy. Scientific

studies now show that hay

baths help with osteoarthritis,

sciatica and rheumatism.

treatments using Mountain Pine Growing in the acidic soils of

South Tyrol’s Sarntal valley,

the mountain pine can be

used as a skin care product

in the sauna or as a pesto in

the kitchen. The oil, with its

characteristic resinous and

forest-fresh scent, stimulates

the circulation, nourishes

the skin and also has an

odour-eliminating effect.

There are places where well-being is so simple. South Tyrol teems with mystical and legendary locations, places to relax outdoors and a landscape that is from peak to valley shaped by its variety of forms and colours. Regain your strength in the world of nature, feel the warmth and freshness on your skin, use the air and water to feel good – are you ready to let go?

Places for Reinvigoration and Well-being

Stoanerne MandlnThe Stoanerne Mandln are a collection of centuries-old stone figures located in the Sarntal valley at 2,000 metres above sea level. Many myths and legends surround this place which, according to tradition, was the setting for witches’ covens and devil worship in the Middle Ages. The Stoanerne Mandln are easy to reach on foot all year round. At the summit the stone formations and cap-tivating atmosphere are complemented by the wonderful 360-degree panorama.

Culture and Sightseeing

Would you rather discover the traces of history or see the future taking shape? In South Tyrol you can do both. Witnesses of the past which are worth seeing include Ötzi the Iceman whose mummified remains were found in a glacier, and 800 medieval forts and castles, as well as monasteries and sacred structures with impressive elements of different artistic eras. And interactive museums, churches with a contemporary design and other pioneering works of architecture all have their finger on the pulse. But above all it is the culture that is lived every day which is particularly exciting in the northernmost part of Italy, where the question is repeatedly asked: What’s German and what’s Italian?

The Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano/Bozen offers the unique opportunity to have a look at Ötzi the Iceman. Throughout South Tyrol there is a rich and varied array of museums with child-friendly worlds of adventure, impressive open-air museums and visitor mines, as well as interesting exhibitions and sensitively designed meetings places to find out about the world of mountains.

Museums and Worlds of Adventure

Museum ladinLadin is still a living language in the Dolomite valleys of Alta Badia and Val Gardena.

MarienBerG MonaSteryIn Europe’s highest Benedictine Abbey, monks have lived according to the rules of St Benedict for over 800 years. Today exhibition rooms in the monastery offer an insight into their everyday life and the monastic routine. Of particular interest is the crypt with its bright frescoes, a unique example of Romanesque art.

SilentiuM, CarthuSian heritaGe“Once it was the noise that disturbed people. Nowadays it’s the silence.” This and similar quotations line the Via monachorum hiking trail to the monastery village of Certosa/Karthaus. There, in the former Allerengelberg Monastery, you can watch a film that recounts its turbulent history. If you then go on to the village of Certosa you will recognise the building – and note the striking silence.

Monastic life and Places to Pause and reflect

South Tyrol’s sacred buildings, from small mountain chapels to impressive monasteries, are distinguished by their loving attention to detail. Val Venosta/Vinschgau is South Tyrol’s leading centre of Romanesque mural art, with particularly beautiful and well- preserved frescoes. Sacred buildings were built in the last century which demonstrate an exciting contemporary style.

Trauttmansdorff Castle near Merano is

surrounded by more than 80 landscaped

gardens and is home to the Touriseum,

the interactive Museum for the History

of Tourism.

Over 800 forts, castles and stately residences perch on rocky ledges, surrounded by vineyards or towering high above the towns. They attest to South Tyrol’s strategically important position as a trading land and north-south connection. Today in a number of these forts and castles the age of chivalry once more comes alive - particularly exciting for children. Some also house museums and collections, whilst others are run as castle hotels and restaurants.

Forts and Castles

tyrol CastleIn the Middle Ages Tyrol Castle (Schloss Tirol) was the ancestral home of the Counts of Tyrol. Today it houses the South Tyrol Museum of Culture and History. The curtain wall around the castle, built around 1100, is one of the oldest surviving castle walls. In addition to the State Museum, archaeological finds and interactive exhibitions, there is also a centre for birds of prey that regularly offers falconry shows.

Who knows exactly where cultural life is happening other than the very people who are part of it? Let the people of South Tyrol guide you through their land – so their favourite haunts become yours too.

nadine lantschner Seamstress

“South Tyrolean fashion is booming. My favourites are great labels such as

Rebello (Laives), Zilla (Bolzano), Luis Trenker (Bolzano) and Dimitri.

I personally really like the Dimitri label because you can see the couturier’s Greek

roots in his collection, and it reflects a certain lightness.”

Manfred a. MayrArtist and Finder of Places

“The place I always seek out is the Marienberg Monastery in the upper Vinschgau valley. As well as

the little museum and the artistically and historically significant Romanesque

crypt with its unique frescoes, you can also experience the Benedictine

monastery’s mysticism and sense the monastic way of life, free of

everyday stress.”

Jutta t. ebner and renate GamperHerbal Teachers

“The little Church of St Hippolyte above Lana is a magical place for us. There are traces of ancient settlements that contribute to its

energy-charged atmosphere. You also have fantastic panoramic views of the Etschtal valley from up there. We like to come here and let nature waft around us.”
