Bruneck, a lovely town set between the Alps and the Dolomites, is an ideal base for a great variety of walks and hikes presenting different levels of difficulty.

There is something for every taste. Hiking in the midst of waving fields and meadows and through aromatic forests. Being in close contact with nature wherever you go, away from the bustle and hectic pace of everyday life, in absolute quiet and calmness guaranteeing rest and relaxation.

Hikers can enjoy the magnificent mountains of the Dolomites as well as of the Zillertal and the Venediger glaciers with well-marked trails and an appropriate number of mountain huts.
