Experience a journey through a rich and culturally diverse region where Germanic and Italian customs and languages find a common mix among the small mountain communities that line your route. From the head of Lago de Resia, set high in the mountains of the South Tyrol, freewheel a glorious downhill path through the Val de Venosta to your hotel in the small apple-growing village of Morter. Walk an alpine trail through the Langtauferer Valley and enjoy swimming in the superb outdoor pools at Mals and Naturns. You’ll visit the mediaeval town of Glorenza and hear tales of knights’ derring-do in the castles of Churburg and Dornsberg. Then travel to the elegant spa town of Merano for walks by the river to Trautmannsdorf Castle and Gardens, swimming, white water rafting (optional) or relaxing in any one of the 22 pools of different temperatures that make up the Merano Spa Complex.
