Why your summer holiday
in Val Venosta …
… is the perfect balance of Mmmh and Wow.
As soon as summer arrives in Val Venosta and the apple orchards around Laces begin to glow, the landscape surrounding the Piris Places turns into a playground for nature lovers and action seekers. Below, gentle green fields and apple orchards stretch across the valley; above, distinctive peaks rise into the sky. A vast network of trails and sporting possibilities awaits your summer holiday in Val Venosta – from dynamic to completely relaxed.
Trail territory: two wheels
through Val Venosta in summer
Val Venosta really does have everything for bikers: demanding mountain-bike trails at higher elevations and relaxed pleasure cycling along the Adige. If you want to refine your technique, join local guiding sessions or borrow a high-end bike directly on site. Your equipment stays safely in the bike room, while our laundry service quickly removes the day’s adventures from your kit. Simply pop it into the bag in your room, and it’ll be fresh again in no time.
Irrigation channels and trail running
Val Venosta’s historic irrigation-channel paths run gently and mostly level along the hillsides, making them ideal for panoramic family walks without extreme gradients – pushchairs included. Want more challenge? Use the varied terrain for longer runs and trail-running adventures. For Alpine highs, the cable car to St. Martin im Kofel quickly carries you up to sweeping circular trails and demanding mountain routes.
The Piris home mountain, Monte Tramontana, is the cool address for hot days. Up here, one Alpine pasture follows another – several times over. Dense coniferous forest keeps the mountain air pleasantly fresh and clear, beautiful paths wind through the greenery, and a soothing silence lies over everything. Pure recovery, right in the heart of nature.
Towards Ultimo, the Tarscher Alm chairlift carries you comfortably up into the hiking and biking area around the Tarscher and Latscher Alm.
Teeing off with mountain views belongs to a summer holiday
in South Tyrol
For a relaxed break on the green, the surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for a round of golf. Nearby courses impress with beautifully maintained greens and spectacular South Tyrolean mountain scenery. Ask Ruth about her favourite fairways.
White-water and outdoor action
If you’re after an action-packed refresh and a dose of adrenaline, go rafting through the waters of the Adige. With experienced guides, the river run becomes a wet and absolutely brilliant adventure. Alternatively, try archery in the mountain forests, climbing adventures in high-ropes courses or fast-paced mountain-cart rides.
