Self-guided Panorama Hiking in the Vinschgau 8-days

In the Val Venosta Valley-region South Tyrol probably presents itself from its most beautiful angle: picturesque Waalwege-paths across blooming apple plantations, a unique culture in the mountain villages and quaint alp huts offering traditional cuisine on your rest from hiking. Discover the magical alleyways of the Medieval village of Malles, before you dive even deeper into the mountain world of the Val Venosta Valley, always accompanied by stunning long-distance views and the lush green valley below you. Past historic ruins and the world-famous Churburg castle, you ascend high up into the national park ‚Stilfserjoch‘, in the evening you relax by strolling through characteristic villages such as Sluderno and BurgusioBurgusio.

Highlights:

• Unique and famous – the Churburg: It is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in South Tyrol and houses impressive panelling, fireplaces and other cultural assets inside.
• 360-degree platform on the Tellajoch: One step, and the mighty mountains of Taufers open up in front of you. The platform at the Tellajoch offers a unique all-round view and never ceases to amaze.
• Tasting Val Venosta Valley delicacies: Whether typical flatbread, hearty mountain cheese or traditional speck: the best delicacies of the region are served at the Sesvenna hut.
