If you can call the stunning distant view of the high mountains as your constant companion, then you are on a hiking tour through the beautiful Val Venosta Valley. Time for a break? Quaint alpine huts, historic mountain villages and traditional cuisine with lots of delicacies make a break from hiking all the more tempting.

Let your eyes fall over the lush green valley and immerse yourself in the living traditions in the picturesque South Tyrol.

The Eurohike hiking tour takes you from Malles via Sluderno to Burgusio and San Valentino through the enchanting South Tyrol. Every day something new, another exciting natural backdrop is waiting to be discovered by you. In addition to blooming alpine pastures, inviting huts and an impressive glacier world, the crystal-clear mountain lakes sparkle.

Simple switch off your thoughts and become one with nature. The here and now counts on this hiking trip and you should enjoy it to the fullest.

  • Unique and famous – the Churburg: It is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in South Tyrol and houses impressive panelling, fireplaces and other cultural assets inside.
  • 360-degree platform on the Tellajoch: One step, and the mighty mountains of Taufers open up in front of you. The platform at the Tellajoch offers a unique all-round view and never ceases to amaze.
  • Tasting Val Venosta Valley delicacies: Whether typical flatbread, hearty mountain cheese or traditional speck: the best delicacies of the region are served at the Sesvenna hut.

What do I pack? Sturdy shoes won’t go wrong on the route through the beautiful Val Venosta Valley. During the eight days you always hike on well-developed paths, but you have to factor in longer climbs and walking times of up to five hours. Therefore, you should have a good physical condition and a few (training) kilometres behind you.

If the legs do give up, individual stages can be shortened by bus or train.

Have you already fallen in love with the South Tyrolean Val Venosta Valley and can’t wait to start your hiking trip: Then book yourself happy now!

Itinerary at a glance

The panorama from the 360° platform at Tellajoch is spectacular. At the Bruggeralm, you will fortify yourself with the specialties of the Vinschgau Valley before hiking to Lake Haider. A detour into Switzerland leads to the Müstair monastery.

Discover the alleyways of this tranquil Val Venosta Valley market town and marvel at the numerous towers in the sunniest place of South Tyrol.

Hotel example: Zum Hirschen

Along the most beautiful Waalweg-paths you ascend into the mountaineers‘ village Matsch, gurgling watercourses accompany your route. Via the old castle ruin and the boldly laid out ‚Leitenwaal‘ you reach the prehistoric excavation site Ganglegg. In the afternoon the pretty village of Sluderno welcomes you with its proud Churburg castle, one of the best-preserved castles in South Tyrol.

Hotel example: Saldur

After a visit to Glorenza, the smallest town in the Alps, you ascend high up into the ‚Stilfserjoch‘ national park. Past the nature experience ‚Wooden-Xylophone‘ you walk through the primal fir tree forest and reach the idyllic mountain village of Tubre, the Romanic ‚Haufendorf‘ is characterized by houses huddling densely together along the steeply rising mountain sides. Today you are less than a kilometer away from the Swiss state border, a short hike takes you to the neighbouring country and the famous UNESCO monastery Müstair.

Hotel example: Chavalatsch

Today the queen’s stage of your hiking week awaits. Past traditional mountain farms you ascend to the ridge Tellajoch, where an impressive mountain world reveals itself to you with a panoramic view on the 360°-viewing platform. The descent leads you down to Slingia, from there a short bus ride takes you to Burgusio. For a shorter tour to Burgusio we recommend the so-called ‚Stundenweg‘ via the hamlet Schleis.

Hotel example: Das Moriggl

Enjoy a relaxing day of rest or embark on a beautiful loop tour past the Schliniger Alp to a roaring waterfall. Situated amidst some of the highest mountain giants, only a stone’s throw away from the Swiss border, the quaint hut ‚Sesvenna Hütte‘ awaits and tempts you to take a break. Extensively explore the adventure path Watles, before gliding leisurely by cable car back down into the valley.

Hotel example: Das Moriggl

From Prämajur through shady forests all the way to the Brugger-alp, where we highly recommend you sample traditional Val Venosta Valley delicacies. Enjoy the view onto the glacial world of the Ortler-Mountains during your descent to Plagött and onwards to San Valentino, where we recommend a stroll along the lakeside of the glistening Lake San Valentino.

Hotel example: Stocker

Across the largest alluvial fan of the Alps, the ‚Malser Haide‘, you proceed across blooming meadows and past sleepy farm houses uphill into the little mountain village of Planeil. Listen to the dabbling of the Punibach-stream and allow your glance to wander over the vast valley below you. A short bus ride takes you back down to the valley to Malles.
