Lake Resia Holiday Area

Hiking

Every nature lover in the family will discover the perfect thing for them along 300 kilometres of marked hiking trails:

Adventurous summit conquests, unique family hikes leading to icy glacier worlds, bubbling water springs, roaring torrents and colourful lakes, culinary excursions to the Alpine huts and refuges and leisurely hikes along the high-altitude and panoramic trails. 

The holiday paradise of Resia/Reschen, with its imposing mountains and mild climate that lasts well into autumn, is an ideal adventure region for hikers, mountain walkers and cyclists in South Tyrol. 

Carrier backpacks for your children can be borrowed free of charge!

And what if you want to see it from a different perspective? Why not explore many of the trails on horseback with Haflinger horses?

Running

Running in the heart of a fascinating mountain world and at an ideal altitude of between 1,470 and 1,950 metres is a very special experience. A signposted and variety-packed 15.4-kilometre route takes runners around Lake Resia - including wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, of course.

Those wanting to take things a bit slower can start on the 5.3-kilometre nature trail around Lake Haider/San Valentino alla Muta. 

If that's not enough to convince you, there are twelve further circular routes of varying lengths and levels of difficulty to ensure that light-footed runners have everything they could wish for.

More adventures

If that's still not enough, then don't worry! The Passo Resia Holiday Area has more than one adventure ace up its sleeve: 

The Talai forest above St. Valentin auf der Haide is the only place in the Vinschgau Valley where an archery course is open all year round. The diverse terrain in picturesque surroundings makes archery an authentic nature experience. 

And Lake Resia itself is yet another highlight for those looking for fun  - water sports such as sailing, surfing and kite surfing, stand-up paddleboarding and fishing ensure variety and wet fun for young and old.

A more relaxed - and drier - approach to exploring Lake Resia and the natural landscape of the Border Triangle between Italy, Austria and Switzerland can be taken on the MS Hubertus excursion boat.
