Hiking holidays in South Tyrol

Hirzer hiking area in the Val Passiria

The sunny Hirzer hiking area is especially popular with hikers.  With the Hirzer panorama cable car, you can reach an altitude of 1,980m above sea level in no time at all.  From there, you can pleasantly hike from Alm to Alm or undertake challenging high Alpine tours.
