Rio Pusteria boasts over 30 idyllic mountain pastures and traditional huts. This intersection between the Valle Isarco and Val Pusteria valleys is the ideal destination for families, laid-back travellers as well as active holiday-goers. Nestled right behind the Brennero Pass and just a short car drive from the Bressanone motorway exit, tourists will find a diverse oasis inspiring peace and calm – the perfect environment to find ones’ roots. Summer is the right moment to walk off the beaten path and explore the most beautiful mountain pastures in South Tyrol, the traditional milk festival, go on adventurous hikes on farm and “honey” trails, make the most of a variety of mountain bike tours, go to a family-friendly themed park, try paragliding, and much, much more. What better way to explore the mountain pastures than leaving the car behind and rising into the sky thanks to the “Almencard”? With the pass you can use the mountain lift facilities and access the over 90 museums at no extra price. The colder months are ideal for winter hikes, sleigh rides, cross-country skiing, and the right time to rush down 51 perfectly groomed slopes for skiers and snowboarders.
