South Tyrol Tours & Trips
Picture a region where Italian and Austrian cultures blend in Alpine setting. South Tyrol (Alto Adige) in northern Italy offers dramatic Dolomite peaks, mountain villages with both languages spoken, and castles perched on hillsides. Ski in winter at places like Val Gardena, hike in summer beneath those distinctive limestone spires, and visit Bolzano's museums and markets. The food combines schnitzel with pasta, strudel with gelato—the cultural mix shows up deliciously.

Best time to visit South Tyrol
- Spring 2026
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.
- popular 32 tours
- Summer 2026
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 2026
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.

Where exactly is South Tyrol - is it Italy or Austria?
You'll find South Tyrol tucked away in northern Italy right next to Austria which makes it really interesting. It used to be part of the Habsburg empire so you get this amazing mix of Italian and Austrian vibes in everything from the food to the buildings. Even though it's technically in Italy now the Austrian influence is everywhere you look.
What languages will I hear when I visit?
It's actually pretty fascinating - German is the main language with about 58% of locals speaking it while Italian comes in at around 23%. You'll also hear Ladin which is this unique Romance language that's specific to the Dolomites area. Don't worry about getting around though because signs and menus are usually in both German and Italian so you won't get lost.
How do I get around South Tyrol?
Getting around is super easy thanks to their excellent public transport network. You've got trains buses and cable cars connecting all the main spots. If you're into cycling there are some beautiful bike paths winding through valleys and vineyards. Our Innsbruck to Bolzano cycling tour covers about 370km over 7 days and includes sections where you can hop on the Venosta train if you need a break.
What can I do while I'm there?
There's honestly something for every season here. Winter's all about hitting the slopes especially in places like Val Gardena while summer opens up amazing hiking climbing and mountain biking opportunities. The Dolomites (they're UNESCO listed by the way) are perfect for serious hikers - our Dolomites tour includes this incredible trek up Strudelkopf reaching 2307 meters with about 11km of trails 480m up and 1000m down.
What makes the food here so special?
You're in for a treat because South Tyrolean cuisine really shows off its unique heritage mixing hearty Austrian dishes with Italian flair. You've got to try the speck (it's like this amazing smoked ham) knodel dumplings and local cheeses. The wines are fantastic too - take a tour along the South Tyrolean Wine Road to really experience them. One of our guests recently raved about this incredible 4-course fish dinner with local wine pairings at Hotel Adler in Villabassa after a day of snowshoeing.
