Dreamlike Alpine Castles in the Sterzing-Ratschings-Gossensass region

Experience nature with all your senses, enjoy the savoury South Tyrolean cuisine, and learn interesting facts about the Alpine region along the Alpine castles in the Sterzing-Ratschings-Gossensass / Vipiteno-Racines-Colle Isarco region. On hiking trails for young and old, from easy to gently ascending, you enter the rustic Alpine world of South Tyrol’s prime holiday region. Special highlights are the Ratschings / Racines Pasture Trail, the Dolomieuweg Trail via the Valleming pastures, and the numerous water-influenced energy sites.

The hosts of the 60 Alpine lodges and mountain cabins create delicious dishes from either sustainable sources or their own production. The menus range from simple snacks, referred to as Brettljause, with deliciously homemade raw milk cheese and butter, to delicate South Tyrolean specialities, such as dumpling dishes like Schlutzkrapfen or Bauerngröstl. Especially recommended is the local, excellently matured Tyrolean grey cheese. The fresh milk, whose taste is shaped by the grasses of the lush green Alpine meadows, is an absolute highlight as well.
