South Tyrol: The Chestnut Route
A week of a great hiking adventure in the beautiful South Tyrol, right in the heart of the Trentino Alto Adige region. This is the place where the Austrian and Italian culture live in the greatest harmony. Self-guided walking trips at your own pace will let you feel the freedom of hiking, followed by the shadows of the Dolomites Mountains. Every now and then breath-taking views will leave you speechless – a picturesque landscape of green valleys with many castles, farms and ancient abbeys that look like embroidered over the hills. The treks will wind among colorful orchards and endless vineyards where some of the best Italian wines are produced. And for those who are always happy to dive into the culture of the region – the independent hiking will lead you to the picturesque villages like Chiusa, home to artists and poets, and lively cities like Bolzano – the gate to the Dolomites. Without any regret, you can put the Chestnut route in your bucket list!
