On spring hikes in the Eisacktal Valley, you’ll follow in the footsteps of nature’s awakening. The blossoming season is best enjoyed in the vineyards, along walking paths and promenades, or with a glass of white wine and springtime dishes. Another tip to experience spring in the Alps: stroll through the charming alleys of Brixen’s old town and enjoy the first ice cream of the season on the Cathedral Square in early summer temperatures. The Brixen Water Light Festival, where international artists present their light installations, makes Brixen one of the most popular spring vacation destinations in South Tyrol.

When temperatures rise in the valley, the Plose mountain offers bike trails, a bike park, and hiking routes, including the “Lorggenring Trail”, one of the most exciting family hikes. A downhill ride with mountain carts adds a memorable thrill to your summer holidays in the Dolomites. You can also find refreshment in the city: at the Aquarena or with a chilled aperitif in the historic alleys. On warm summer evenings, the old town becomes a lively meeting place for locals and guests alike.
