In summer, the nearby South Tyrolean Dolomites offer walkers countless trails and opportunities for hikes. The hiking region around Brixen’s “home” mountain, Plose, and the “Alm region” (mountain pastures) around Gitschberg-Jochtal offer hikes in all difficulty grades, from easy to challenging. The views over the Dolomite summits hold the promise of breath-taking panoramas, whilst rustic Alpine taverns beckon you in to rest and take refreshment.
