The discovery tour can begin …
Children of the mountains and all those who want to become one will find an outdoor play paradise around the Knappenhof like no other. High rock faces, extensive paths and an untouched natural backdrop promise adventure in the Alta Valle Isarco for hikers, mountaineers and the like. Summer and winter, spring and autumn: the area around the South Tyrolean Tribulaun offers pleasure-seekers and adrenaline junkies a unique activity paradise all year round with incomparable views of the Valle Isarco …
While some prefer to marvel at the mighty mountain giants from down in the valley, others put on their helmets and ropes to climb the high peaks and proudly look down into the Alta Valle Isarco from the climbing walls. The area around Fleres can, of course, also be wonderfully explored by mountain bike and e-bike, especially the bike tours to the Passo Giovo, Passo di Pennes, and Sandjoch-Brenner border ridge which every cycling enthusiast should try at least once. We also highly recommend a ride with the mountain carts in the Ladurns hiking area or a visit to the historic town of Vipiteno. Which will you choose?
