Feu­er und Eis part­ner tour

The heart of South Tyrol — from Bress­ano­ne to Mer­ano with CHARME

Start­ing at 1,139 per person

On the first part of the hike, the Keschtn­weg (Chest­nut Trail) shows you the way and pres­ents you with the Dolo­mi­tes to the south, like a ter­race. From Rit­ten, the popu­lar sum­mer resort of the noble peo­p­le of Bol­za­no, you pass clo­se to the Dolo­mi­tes. Viney­ards and orchards line your path on the second sec­tion of the hike through one of the most beau­tiful are­as of South Tyrol in the cen­ter of South Tyro­lean viti­cul­tu­re. Lake Kal­tern, South Tyro­l’s most famous lake, is ano­ther high­light on this hike through South Tyrol. Cast­les, palaces and man­or hou­ses cha­rac­te­ri­ze the land­scape along the South Tyro­lean Wine Road bet­ween Bol­za­no and Mer­ano, and num­e­rous wine­ries invi­te you to tas­te the best South Tyro­lean wines.
