Climbing Dolomite peaks, diving into crystal-clear mountain lakes, cycling tours… these are just a few of the highlights you can experience in Brixen in South Tyrol during summer. When temperatures rise in the valley, the Plose mountain offers bike trails, a bike park, and hiking routes, including the “Lorggenring Trail”, one of the most exciting family hikes. A downhill ride with mountain carts adds a memorable thrill to your summer holidays in the Dolomites. You can also find refreshment in the city: at the Aquarena or with a chilled aperitif in the historic alleys. On warm summer evenings, the old town becomes a lively meeting place for locals and guests alike.
LEISURELY HIKES, A THOUSAND SHADES OF COLOR AND CULINARY DELIGHTS IN GOOD COMPANY.
When the town dons its vibrant autumn cloak and the first mountain peaks are dusted with snow, Brixen and its surrounding villages invite you to a relaxing autumn holiday in South Tyrol. Farmers bring in their harvest and offer their treasures at the markets in the old town. You can also savor the excellent white wine from the local vintners. Autumn in the Alps is the perfect time for culinary explorations and walks through chestnut groves and vineyards. The traditional “Törggelen” in the parlors and cellars of Brixen's farmhouses is the crowning touch of every autumn holiday in South Tyrol.
EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF SKI HOLIDAYS AND CHRISTMAS IN THE DOLOMITES.
As the days grow shorter, Brixen remains a captivating destination for your holidays in South Tyrol. Every winter, the Plose mountain, one of the best family ski resorts in the Dolomites, invites visitors to enjoy skiing, tobogganing, and winter hiking. If you plan your ski holidays in the Dolomites during the Advent season, it’s not just the slopes that sparkle: with the festive Christmas market, the old town offers a magical atmosphere for your Christmas holiday in Italy. The enchanting light and music show, a yearly highlight, adds an extra touch of magic to your holiday in South Tyrol.
A CHARMING SPRING VACATION DESTINATION FOR YOUR BLOOMING GETAWAY.
On spring hikes in the Eisacktal Valley, you’ll follow in the footsteps of nature’s awakening. The blossoming season is best enjoyed in the vineyards, along walking paths and promenades, or with a glass of white wine and springtime dishes. Another tip to experience spring in the Alps: stroll through the charming alleys of Brixen’s old town and enjoy the first ice cream of the season on the Cathedral Square in early summer temperatures. The Brixen Water Light Festival, where international artists present their light installations, makes Brixen one of the most popular spring vacation destinations in South Tyrol.
