Travel South Tyrol your way
For hiking enthusiasts, South Tyrol's Dolomites trails offer exceptional variety. Our most popular routes include the trek to Lake Braies with its mirror-like surface reflecting jagged peaks, and the challenging circuit around Tre Cime di Lavaredo where travelers consistently praise the 360-degree mountain views. More advanced hikers love the ascent of Monte Elmo, where you can literally stand with one foot in Italy and one in Austria. Those seeking cultural elements alongside hiking particularly enjoy the routes through Ampezzo Dolomites Natural Park, with stops at traditional mountain huts and chances to learn about WWI history at well-preserved sites. For less experienced hikers, we recommend starting with the gentler paths around Dobbiaco, where comfortable hotels provide excellent bases and the terrain gradually builds in difficulty throughout the week.

UTracks offers a fantastic cycling route through Italy's Alpine valleys, with two guides who really make the experience special. Silvia Cafora and Gabriele Monaco get consistently great feedback from our travelers for their local knowledge and ability to create a relaxed, fun atmosphere throughout the tour. The whole journey flows smoothly thanks to the well-maintained bikes and carefully chosen bike paths that showcase the best of the Alpine landscape. After each day's ride, you'll stay in hotels picked for their views and comfort - most rooms look right out over the mountains. What makes this tour particularly memorable is how it blends cycling with authentic Italian experiences. The meals go beyond typical tourist fare, letting you really dive into regional specialties and local dining customs. Our travelers often tell us these shared meals with the guides end up being highlights of their trip. The setup makes it easy to focus on enjoying the ride - Silvia and Gabriele handle all the logistics and share interesting details about the areas you're cycling through. They know exactly when to offer support and when to let riders move at their own pace, creating that perfect balance of structure and freedom that makes for a great tour.

"Great value for money. Good tour guide. Excellent travel company. Some days the hiking was a bit light. Would have given it 5 stars if the hiking was every day. Also tourradar/intrepid could also consider providing a higher cost tour where we stay at different refuges every day. This will reduce the transportation constraints and time and increase the Dolomites amazing experience.

"Horrible experience. Only do this tour if you want a glorified Google maps and substandard hotels. No communication from the company, with their on the ground rep never responding to me. Staff from head office were rude. While this trip is self guided, we expected to receive things like recommendations and tips to really enjoy South Tyrol, but we didn't get that. Paid for a premium hotel package and got poor lodgings. In summary, never do a Eurohike tour (especially this one), unless you feel like paying alot of money for subpar lodgings, no planning, poor communication and a Google maps guide.

Small Group
11 tours in South TyrolOur small Dolomites hiking groups get to experience the quieter side of these mountains. You'll walk the WWI trails near the Tofano peaks where a professional guide shows you old bunkers and abandoned refuges, sharing stories from the past. The paths take you through the rocky Val Travenanzes and past the Fanes peaks, spending nights in traditional mountain huts. Some sections test your legs, like climbing up to Rosalmhutte at 2,200m, while others follow gentler routes past alpine lakes and flower-filled meadows. Our travelers really value how safety-conscious the guides are and love staying in authentic mountain refugios, though they mention some spots have basic shared facilities.
Private / Personalized
27 tours in South TyrolPrivate tours let you discover South Tyrol's wine country and alpine meadows at your own rhythm. You'll walk the Marlinger Waalweg - the region's longest irrigation canal - looking down over Merano and the Etschtal valley below. The routes link medieval castles like the well-preserved Churburg and wind through wine villages where you can stop to taste local wines. Our guests particularly like being able to adjust their daily walks - you might choose an easy 4-hour stroll or push yourself with a 6.5-hour hike climbing 1,400m. Each night brings you to carefully picked hotels in charming mountain towns.
Top South Tyrol travel itineraries to fit your plans
The 7-day programs in South Tyrol blend hiking and cycling across mountain landscapes that tell real stories. You'll walk former WWI paths near Cortina where old bunkers and mountain shelters still stand, looking down into valleys that stretch far below. Our guests particularly like how the accommodations change each night - from rustic mountain huts to nice hotels where the local food and regional wines really shine. The trails through Val Travenanzes show off waterfalls and wooden bridges, and you'll often spot marmots popping up to say hello. For those who prefer two wheels, the cycling routes mix serious climbs with cultural stops. You'll tackle the Dolomite passes of Gardena, Campolongo, Pordoi and also Sella - the tougher days cover about 66km with 1,950m of climbing. The paths wind past Lake Carezza's clear waters and through Val di Fassa, with our support vehicle following close by. What makes these rides special is how they combine solid cycling with local life - you'll explore Trento's old center, try traditional grappa and discover small mountain communities along the way. Our hikers tell us they really enjoy finding the quiet paths around Lake Misurina and exploring the tunnels under Tre Cime's peaks. The routes build up nicely - starting at 4km daily before moving to 15-17km as you get used to walking these paths. We pick the mountain lodges carefully, though our customers mention that some refugios get crowded in summer and might be simple - but that's just part of real mountain living.

Demographics
Solo travelers connect naturally in South Tyrol, especially around Dobbiaco where the UNESCO Dolomites create perfect hiking territory. You'll find welcoming family-run hotels that quickly feel like home base. The daily walks mix 4-hour lake circuits with more challenging 6-hour mountain climbs - you set the pace that works for you. Many of our guests like how the local buses and cable cars give them flexibility; maybe taking it easier after conquering Strudelkopf's ascent. The hotels foster natural social spaces with group dinners and spa facilities, while still offering quiet spots when you want some time to yourself.
Couples tell us they really click with South Tyrol's balance of active days and comfortable evenings. From bases in Dobbiaco and also Villabassa, you can tackle trails at your own rhythm - some pairs take on the full-day Tre Cime circuit while others prefer meandering through flower-filled valleys. The mountain huts make perfect lunch stops to try local dishes like kaiserschmarrn. The traditional Alpine hotels provide spa facilities for evening relaxation. Our couples often mention how they appreciate choosing between social group activities and intimate dinners in town.
Young adults after physical challenges mixed with culture find their groove here. The bike routes from Bolzano test your legs properly - you'll climb Passo Manghen at 2,000m before flowing down through orchards, vineyards and also traditional villages. Our younger travelers love alternating between serious cycling and cultural discoveries; one day you're conquering steep switchbacks, the next you're exploring medieval castles or WWI mountain fortifications.
Our senior travelers consistently praise the guided walks, particularly how the cable cars handle the tough elevation gains. From Villabassa and also Campitello, you reach incredible viewpoints without draining climbs. The routes often follow old military tracks with solid footing while guides share rich WWI history. They appreciate having easier route options when needed and retiring to comfortable family-run hotels. Evening spa sessions help with muscle recovery and regional cooking provides energy for the next day's walks.

Best time to visit South Tyrol
- Spring 2025
Spring brings the lower valleys to life with alpine meadows full of early flowers. You'll pedal along the Adige River from Bolzano to Merano, passing vineyards and orchards just starting to bloom. Late spring sees cable cars running again, opening up higher trails like those around Lake Braies while snow still decorates the peaks. Our guides know the perfect timing for each area, adapting routes to match spring conditions. The hotels we work with serve evening meals featuring local spring ingredients like wild asparagus and fresh mountain herbs.

- Summer 2025
Summer opens up perfect conditions for exploring the high Dolomite paths. We base our popular tours in Dobbiaco or Campitello, heading out daily into the mountains. The Val di Vaiolet walk takes you to Rifugio Principe where lunch comes with clear views of Marmolada glacier. Paths around Tre Cime di Lavaredo circle these massive rocks, passing mountain huts serving traditional strudel. Our travelers like how flexible the days are - perhaps tackling Monte Elmo one day, then browsing Cortina d'Ampezzo shops the next. Smart use of cable cars gets you starting at 2,000m, meaning more time on high trails and less time just climbing up.

- Fall / Autumn 2025
Autumn paints the Dolomites in new colors as larch forests turn golden. The paths quiet down after summer crowds leave, and our groups often find famous spots like the Tre Cime circuit nearly empty. Pack for changing weather - our customers say they've seen warm sun and early snow in one week. Routes adjust for shorter days but still cover key spots like Monte Piana's open-air WWI museum and the wide-view trails above Lake Misurina. Evening meals feel extra welcoming as temperatures drop, with hotels serving filling Tyrolean dishes like dumplings, mountain herbs and also cheese made from summer pastures.
