Autumn in South Tyrol

Refilling energies for the upcoming winter, raising the personal stock of sunlight and warmth or enjoying the last expeditions on the mountain peaks, including fantastic far-sightedness in the fresh air… Where can you do all this better than in South Tyrol, during a cosy autumn holiday?

Highlights in autumn

A golden landscape

The landscape presents itself full of colourful contrasts, the forests present themselves in strong red and orange tones and the sun's rays give grapes and apples the final touch. The first mountain peaks are already covered with snow, but the sky is still deep blue and the temperature is still pleasantly warm in many places. The crystal-clear autumn air ensures the best visibility on the mountains and from some peaks you can now almost see the whole region.

In addition to panoramic mountain tours, autumn in South Tyrol has much more to offer: In the Eisacktal Valley, for example, the so-called "fifth season" begins – the "Törggelen" tradition with lots of roasted chestnuts, typical farm food and new wine. In many valleys the animals return from the alpine pastures, which is celebrated at the traditional homecoming of livestock. In Bruneck, the largest market in Tyrol – the Stegen market – takes place, in Glurns in Vinschgau the traditional "Sealamorkt" and a number of other interesting events.

So you see: In South Tyrol autumn is not a dull, grey or even inhospitable transitional period, but a varied season with all kinds of exciting activities. Enjoy the lovely and wild autumn in South Tyrol!
