Summer

Surrounded by 80 three thousand meter tall mountains, blessed with an average of 300 sunny days per year and countless ways to enjoy nature – the Ahrn Valley welcomes you to your next summer vacation. Enjoy hiking, mountain biking, climbing, horseback riding, paragliding or exiting rafting tours through landscapes with permafrost, lush green alpine meadows and along babbling mountain brooks. Or take a thrilling ride down the Klausberg on Italy’s longest alpine rollercoaster.

Take your lunch break or time-out in the mountains at one of the over 50 mountain inns and huts, which welcome travelers with alpine hospitality and the charm of times gone by. What are you waiting for? Good to know for hikers, mountain bikers and alpinists: the lift systems Speikboden and Klausberg also run during the summer.

Away from the lifts and the day to day hustle and bustle, peaceful nature awaits you at the nature resort Riesenferner-Ahrn. It is the ideal starting point for unforgettable hikes and mountain tours during which you can explore the pristine beauty and diversity of the native vegetation - either by yourself or with a park guide. If you would prefer a less strenuous activity, maybe you would enjoy investigating the history of the Ahrn Valley. Local culture, customs and traditions are still of great importance here – the numerous museums, castles, churches and craftsman’s workshops are well worth a visit.

One thing is for sure: If you love the mountains, unspoiled nature and a mild climate and are looking for a good mix of culture, sports and real treats – the Ahrn Valley is the place for you.
