A mini guide to Bressanone and the surrounding area—here are all the things you can do:
ALPE VILLANDRO
A magical place at an altitude of 1,750 meters that offers hikes for every taste, with plenty of mountain huts to visit. Read about our hike with its fairytale-like views HERE. Another very nice route is the one leading to the Laghetto dei Morti, with its charming little church. You’ll find it HERE.
ALPE BARBIANO
A sister mountainto the Alpe di Villandro, though much less well-known, it is located about half an hour from Chiusa at an elevation of 2,000 meters. We describe our hike—which took about an hour and a half and involved a 400-meter climb—to the Platzer Alm HERE.
Another walk you won’t want to miss is the one to the Barbiano waterfalls, which takes you across a suspension bridge. Find all the information HERE.
