Bressanone’s local leisure mountain

To the East of Bressanone is Mount Plose, Bressanone’s local leisure mountain. Its slopes promise wonderful views of Bressanone and the low mountain ranges of Valle Isarco, as well as plenty of village entertainment. Here, in a rural farming landscape, among hiking paths, pious churches and pleasurable panorama terraces, there is twice as much enjoyment of the 200 days of sunshine.

S. Andrea and the hamlets of Meluno, Cleran, Cornale, Villa and San Leonardo
S. Andrea and its hamlets of S. Andrea village, Meluno, Cleran, Cornale, Villa and San Leonardo are located halfway up the local leisure mountain Plose at an altitude of 970 m. The Plose cable car that takes you up to 2500 m starts in S. Andrea. The parish of S. Andrea is first mentioned in the records in 1174. The mountain route to Passo delle Erbe also starts in S. Andrea, which is why cyclists and motorcyclists like to stop here.

Eores, Plancios and Valcroce
Eores (1500 m), Plancios (1700 m) and Valcroce (2000 m) are typical mountain villages situated very near the summit. Perched in high altitude they offer stunning views of the surrounding moutainscape and perfect conditions for adventures in the mountains. Twice the challenge every day.
