Spring in South Tyrol
Whether you choose the holiday region of Vinschgau, Southern South Tyrol, Eisacktal, the Dolomites or Tauferer Ahrntal, every part of South Tyrol offers particular highlights for the spring.
For example in the area of Dolomiti Superski you still go skiing, while in other South Tyrolean regions the spring arrives already in March. In the so called “Spring Valley” in Southern South Tyrol you will even find thousands of crocuses, lilies and other “heralds of spring”, sprouting from the cold earth.
For gourmets, we recommend the gastronomic weeks in spring: Enjoy for instance the asparagus weeks in Terlan, the “Eisacktal Fine Cuisine Festival” in Eisacktal and all over South Tyrol the farm taverns, offering unforgettable gourmet experiences.
The most colourful highlight of South Tyrolean spring is undoubtedly the apple blossom in Meran and surroundings and in Vinschgau. During the blossom the orchards turn into a pink or white perfumed sea of flowers. We recommend experiencing this natural spectacle on one of the many water paths or on biking trails.
