South Tyrol is the hiking paradise of the Alps - for leisurely walkers as well as for dedicated mountaineers. This is mainly due to the unusual diversity of the South Tyrolean landscape, but also because traditional Tyrolean hospitality and southern joie de vivre create a pleasant symbiosis here - one simply feels at home in South Tyrol! Gerhard Hirtlreiter, who has been exploring the mountains of South Tyrol since his youth, has selected 52 tours that cover the western part of the region between the Reschen Pass and the Brenner Pass, between the ice-clad Ortler and the Mediterranean-influenced Lake Kaltern. In addition to half-day and full-day hikes, multi-day tours are also described - popular classics and quiet insider tips, tranquil walks through vineyards as well as scenic high-altitude trails and mountain tours on magnificent three-thousanders.
