Hiking & Climbing

Eppan is the ideal starting place for hikes and scouting expeditions. If you decide upon a walk in Überetsch (the area around Eppan and Kaltern) you can begin directly from your apartment. The area around Eppan has the most castles in South Tyrol. Therefore you shouldn't miss visiting some of them during your stay. A special tip is to do the Three-Castles-Walk which takes you to the Ruin Hocheppan, Castle Korb and Castle Boymont.

And don't miss out on a ride on the oldest funicular railway to the Mendel Pass. From spring to late autumn the funicular leaves every twenty minutes from Kaltern to the history-charged Mendel Pass. Many hiking possibilities await you there! Furthermore, from here you can set out on numerous tours to the surrounding mountains. Whether your are planning an alpine tour, a via ferrata to the summit or a walk with the whole family, there is something for everyone.

If you would like to pre-plan your walks and mountain tours on the computer, then the website www.trekking.suedtirol.info is very useful. It gives helpful information on the various trail categories and the different signpostings and markings. It also answers FAQ on the fitness level needed on the various routes, on the required experience for the different levels of difficulty, on the suitable gear, as well as pointing out possible dangers.
