There is hardly any other time of the year we look forward to as much as spring. Nature finally comes back to life, flowers stretch their heads towards the sky, the sun sends its first warm rays towards the earth and sparks our desire for action and adventure.
The gentle spring weather lures you out into nature. A walk in the valley, a themed hike or the first summit ascent of the year; the Venosta Valley offers many different trails leading through green forests and blooming meadows. Immerse yourself in the sunny season!

All the local produce and artisan products will make your mouth water. Not to be missed: an asparagus dish and a glass of white wine.
The great thing about the Venosta Valley is the snow on the peaks even in spring. While the sun warms your back, you can head down the slopes turn by turn. Solda/Sulden with the highest peaks in South Tyrol and the Val Senales/Schnalstal glacier are particularly popular with spring skiers.

The sun transforms the mountain landscape into a sparkling wonderland under a bright blue sky. The perfect end to an unforgettable winter season!
