Mountain-lover magic around your hiking hotel in South Tyrol
Summer trails
The sun shines majestically over Val Venosta while the spicy scent of larch needles fuels your ambition. At the Piris Places, we declare summer the absolute high season for strong calves and spectacular experiences. As your enthusiastic hiking hotel in South Tyrol, we guide you to some of the Alps’ most beautiful viewpoints – and back down again.
- Latschander Waalweg: set off early in the morning along this historic trail beside the gently flowing irrigation channel in shady deciduous woodland.
- Val Venosta High Mountain Trail: hike across sun-drenched steep slopes high above the valley floor for magnificent long-distance views over the orchards.
Winter magic
Sparkling ice crystals crunch loudly beneath your boots while your breath rises in fine clouds into the icy-clear air. Winter transforms the rugged mountainsides around the Piris Places into one gigantic adventure playground dressed in white.
