Wine Teaching Trail in Girlan
In co-operation with the Laimburg school, an interesting wine teaching trail was established, which explains different cultivation methods, all about the local grapes, as well as thousands of years of wine tradition.


The 'Friedensweg' Peace Path

The Kaltern 'Friedensweg' leads you from the centre of Kaltern to St. Peter in Altenburg. Seven stations invite you to rest and meditate. The five themes 'moderation/wisdom/justice/faith and hope' were designed by artists and adopted to the local environment. The sixth station (courage) is the Rastenbachklamm itself. The seventh (love) features the early Christian church ruins of St. Peter in Altenburg, which are probably the oldest church ruins in Tyrol.


The Ritten theme path

The Ritten theme path shows the special features of the high plateau: from the fascinating coming and going of the earth pyramids, to the old emperor’s road and the 'invention' of the summer holidays.


The Sarntal Horseshoe tour

An experience for the whole family. The six to seven stages from one hut to the next in the Sarn Valley Alps, offers you breath-taking views of the ice-covered mountain, at a height of more than 3,000 meters and into the jagged Dolomite peaks.
