- Hike through the "orchard" of South Tyrol: Fruits of all kinds thrive in the Vinschgau - whether apples, apricots, chestnuts or grapes. You should enjoy the regional specialties with these natural treasures. A special feast for the eyes takes place in spring, when the fruit trees transform the Vinschgau into a sea of flowers.
- Wonderful apple orchards along the way: Over 7,000 farmers grow apples in South Tyrol. So it's no wonder that on your hiking trip you repeatedly pass apple orchards whose fruits and blossoms exude a beguiling scent.
- Hiking high above the Vinschgau with a view of the snow-covered Ortler massif: rugged peaks, rocky gorges and, above all, “King Ortler” with a height of 3,905 m. The mountain world around the Ortler massif is a true natural spectacle.

- Hike through the "orchard" of South Tyrol: On the stage from Schluderns to Schlanders, you immerse yourself in the extensive fruit orchards of the region. This spectacle enchants almost all year round - but especially in spring when it blooms and in late summer and autumn when it's time to harvest.
- Magnificent apple orchards by the path side: Here it is important to enjoy it with all your senses, because the largest apple-growing area in Europe is not only a visual highlight, but also the smell is incredible!
- Hiking high above the Vinschgau with a view of the snow-covered Ortler massif: Whether the Sonnensteig or the Rablander Waalweg - the high-altitude hikes in the Vinschgau are twice as pleasant and with great views due to the many hours of sunshine.

- The majestic Juval Castle: Reinhold Messner's private castle in Vinschgau is showing an exhibition under the motto "Myth of the Mountain". It's not just the impressive presentation about mountain life that's worth seeing. The lovingly renovated castle with elements from a bygone era mixed with modern glass and steel constructions is also impressive!
- Up high with the cable car: A varied network of trails awaits you and your loved ones in the Texelgruppe Nature Park. In addition to an extensive circular hike with breathtaking views, there are also practice and family climbing routes! Definitely give it a try! (The cable car is not included in the Eurohike package!)

- Hiking on historic paths : In northern Italy, the Via Augusta leads through vineyards and orchards, but often also along so-called “Waalwege” (water canal paths). The old irrigation systems only exist in this form in South Tyrol.
- Reschen Pass and mystical Reschensee : One of the most photographed motifs can be found on the first days of your hiking holiday: the sunken church in the Reschensee.
- Mild climate and snow-capped mountain peaks : While you hike the Via Augusta in the sunshine, you can also enjoy spectacular mountain views of the snow-capped Ortler massif.
