Hiking in Ratschings: Great Trails for Every Level
May 15th, 2026
Anyone traveling to South Tyrol in summer is usually looking for one thing: the feeling of wide-open space. That's exactly what you'll find hiking in Ratschings, a small, quiet valley just 12 kilometers from the Sterzing/Vipiteno highway exit. Located right at the base station of the Ratschings-Jaufen hiking area, the valley is the perfect starting point for routes through lush alpine meadows, shaded forests, and up to summit crosses with panoramic views of the South Tyrolean Alps.
