Our trip to the Sopranes lakes begins from Velloi in Lagundo. These high-alpine lakes can be found situated in the heart of the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park, South Tyrol‘s biggest nature park.
Autumn is arriving and invites with its mild temperatures to walking tours through the colourful landscape. For the farmers the harvest season has started and brings along one of the oldest South Tyrolean traditions, the “Törggelen”. During a relaxing walk along the Lagundo Waalweg Path and across meadows lots of nature can be experienced.
Starting at Lagundo right two particular lifts – a chair lift and a basket lift – take me up to 1,500 metres asl., onto a panorama path above the Val d’Adige with gorgeous views. On my way I look over a cook’s shoulder while preparing traditional delicacies, meet a local hiking guide who gives me valuable hiking tips and may visit a special cheese treasury.
With its 12 km the Marlengo Waalweg Path is the longest one throughout South Tyrol. Above the Meran basin we walk through chestnut groves, apple orchards and past steep rocks and enjoy gorgeous panoramic views. The adventure trail offers information about flora and fauna in this region. Come with us and discover some particularities.
Living like the nobles back in the 14th century. Today we undertake a journey to discover more about the „Schildhöfler“, otherwise known as Shield Farms in the Val Passiria valley while at the same time getting to know the local residents that lie there. The circular route takes around two hours and begins in Saltusio, taking us past a few Shield Farms. Experience a trip back in time, over 700 years into the history of the Val Passiria Valley!
The Sopranes Lakes are turquoise gems found at the end of the Val Sopranes Valley. The ten, crystal clear turquoise mountain lakes are the core of the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park. The lakes can be found at different altitudes ranging from 2120m to 2590m. The Long Lake and the Green Lake are the largest of their kind in the high alpine, lake areas of Europe. We took a closer look during a two-day excursion.
Our hike begins in S. Leonardo in the Val Passiria valley, taking us through a gorge on the way to Moso in Passiria. The two and a half hour hike is a true adventure, taking hikers over countless bridges and steel grates, always surrounded by the stunning Passirio Gorge. The force of the water has sculpted beautiful rock formations over millennia, which is sure to leave lasting impressions.
A challenging mountain hike or a leisurely stroll through alpine meadows and woods, a hearty meal at a mountain lodge, a round with a paraglider above Merano … All this and much more can be experienced on a hiking day in Schenna.
Today we make an excursion to the sunny side of the Alps. Our hike proceeds along the famous Meran High Route, starting at Katharinaberg in the Val Senales valley, to Unterstell. We go by bus and cable car, walk through gorgeous autumnal landscapes and enjoy a very varying hike across meadows and woods.
The roughness of the Dolomites and the sweetness of the green meadows, plenty of chances to relax and to be active: This and much more is what the summer in South Tyrol means. We have collected some highlights from this long expected season.
Relaxation and nature all the way! Right at the back of the val Passiria valley, a hiking paradise lies waiting to be discovered. A unique tour, combining pristine nature and tranquility. With a radiating winter sun filling us with the energy needed for the trip, we also might just have with us the best tasting Speck in the entire valley.
Due to its central position, Merano is a perfect starting point for hikes in Val d’Ultimo, Val Passiria, Val Venosta and Val Senales and an ideal place to stay when doing hiking holidays. This is where everyone finds a path to his taste, as the area includes both easy promenades and challenging mountain hikes.
