We love South Tyrol! The merger of Mediterraneans with alpine influences, the beautiful nature, the magnificent cuisine, the culture, the warm people … Oh yes, there are many good reasons to travel to the northernmost province of Italy!
And since we are asked so often “where in South Tyrol it is now most beautiful”, we once tried a list with our “top ten”. Admittedly, that was pretty difficult because South Tyrol has far more than just ten beautiful places to offer. But we want to commit ourselves here and today and bundle our ten personal South Tyrol favorites for you.
The ten most beautiful places in South Tyrol
1. (The region) Lana
Both the municipality of Lana, framed by vines and apple trees as well as the region of the same name with Burgstall, Tscherms, Gargazon, Völlan and the Hausberg Vigiljoch, is always worth a visit. Good to know: In the Lana region there are some of the best hotels and restaurants in South Tyrol.
2. The Pragser Wildsee
The Pragser Wildsee is rightly one of the most popular photo motif South Tyrol, because the idyllic backdrop in the Dolomites is reminiscent of a painting. PS: getting up early is worth it, because before the tourist rush shortly after sunrise, the atmosphere is truly magical!
3. The Alm Sius Sius
The largest high alms in Europe is located in the South Tyrolean Dolomites and offers countless hiking trails in a breathtaking natural scenery.
4. Glurns
If you run one of the smallest cities in the world through the charming alleys, it feels a bit as if you had traveled back to the Middle Ages.
5. Brixen
In our opinion, the most beautiful city in South Tyrol really offers everything that the region stands for. Anyone who travels to Brixen awaits both urban flair with a lot of culture, top catering and modern hotels, as well as all the outdoor options of the Dolomites in the immediate vicinity.
6. The Karer See
The mountain lake in the Dolomites is rightly one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the entire Alpine region. The following also applies here: the earlier in the morning you visit the lake, the better!
7. The villanders Alm
The second largest high almm in South Tyrol is known for its picturesque landscape, which extends over 20 square kilometers.
8. The three battlements
The striking mountain range is the landmark of the Dolomites and the hike to the foot of the three tips is rewarded by many breathtaking views.
9. Merano
Merano should not be missing in this list either, because the idyllic city not only offers Mediterranean flair, but also skillfully combines tradition and modernity. And all in the most beautiful mountain backdrop! By the way, our favorite hotel South Tyrolean, the Villaverde, is located right outside the gates of Merans.
10. Schenna
The special thing about Schenna? The location on a sun hill above Merans! The perfect travel time: April, in which the apple blossom dives the entire area into a pink sea of flower and the mountain peaks are still covered with snow.
