Algund - Lagundo walks

A "Waalweg" in South Tyrol is a path that runs alongside a small irrigation canal. These irrigation canals, often well hidden, were created on the hillsides to water the vineyards, orchards and fields; they operate thanks to a sophisticated system of slopes and sluice gates where each farmer can use the water for their crops.The Algund Waalweg is certainly the most iconic and offers a magnificent panorama of Algund, Meran and Dorf Tirol.

This alpine walk climbs to 2,500 metres, with beautiful views and sections through stunning larch forests. The route presents no particular difficulties but requires a good level of fitness.

A pleasant little walk through the woods from Oberbozen to Klobenstein. Return to the cable car station at Oberbozen by the tourist train.

This is a must-do circuit in the Ridanna Valley. This beautiful hike follows the Burkhard torrent at the bottom of the Ridanna Valley, near the old mines, climbing up towards the glacial cirque. The waterfall trail is well maintained, with wooden walkways, bridges and superb views along the way. The circuit passes by the Aglsbodenalm inn, where you can stop for a bite to eat during the summer. A pleasant and varied loop with magnificent scenery.

Walther von der Wogelweide was a renowned minstrel of the German Middle Ages. His statue stands in one of Bolzano's main squares. He is said to have been born in the village of Ried, in the municipality of Lajen/Laion, and the route traced there commemorates his life and work. The route is marked by signs bearing the words "Wogelweide runweg" and an orange logo decorated with a bust of a medieval woman, and is embellished with metal works, some of which are very beautiful.

This loop takes you through red rocks eroded by glaciers and offers beautiful views of the Kaunertal valley and the snow-capped peaks. At the end of June, rhododendrons and alpine flowers are in full bloom.

Castelrotto is a village situated at the foot of the Alpe di Siusi. This mountain pasture, the largest in Europe, offers breathtaking views of the Dolomites in the Italian South Tyrol. A superb circular walk starting from this beautiful village. During this hike, you’ll be able to admire the majestic Punta di Santner at the far end of the Schlern massif. At Marinzen, you’ll look down over Castelrotto.

Start and finish at the village cable cars with some lovely views around Casterotto. A beautiful, fairly steep climb alongside the cable cars through pastures, then into the woods for most of the ascent. Very pleasant on a hot, sunny day. No great difficulty until you reach the highest point of this circular. There are small inns to choose from in Marinzen or at the Schafstall hütte. There is a slight variation from the route shown on tourist maps when descending towards St Michael. The descent is quite steep. The rest of the route follows a tarmac road with no traffic, passing through a charming hamlet with beautiful views of the mountains and the village. 10 km in total and a variety of terrain that allows you to enjoy the whole route.

A magnificent mountain hike in the Stelvio National Park to the Cevedale ‘G. Larcher’ mountain hut, starting from the Prabòn car park. On the outward journey, the route passes Malga Mare (reservoir, mountain restaurant, etc.), the splendid Salt dei Gembri waterfall and Plan Venezia. On the return journey, the route takes you past the Marmotte, Nero and Careser lakes before descending back to Malga Mare. The outward and return journeys between the starting point and Malga Mare follow different paths on either side of the Noce Bianco stream.

A lovely walk that climbs up to a lake, which you walk round before heading back down the same path. There are a few sections that require a bit of care, but nothing too difficult. The lake is a magnificent blue!

A steep climb of over 700 metres to an authentic and welcoming farm-inn with an incredible view of the Glücksgrat and the Stubai Valley. You can continue on to the Glücksgrat and descend towards the Backerwandalm before returning to Volderau. The total time required for this route is between 6 and 7 hours, including breaks.
