The Ritten in South Tyrol

Nestled in the heart of South Tyrol, the plateau of Renon, is defined by many as the Plateau of the Sun, where one can admire one of the most beautiful views of the Dolomites, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. Located above the city of Bolzano, the plateau is situated between the Isarco Valley and the Sarentino Valley at an average altitude of 1,000 metres above sea level.

This altitude and the extremely sunny exposure create a particularly mild environment in both winter and summer, creating ideal conditions in which to escape the damp winter months and muggy city summers.

Bolzano can be easily reached by cable car and the famous Renon train, which has been crossing the entire plateau and connecting it with the pretty villages of Soprabolzano and Collalbo for over a hundred years.
An ideal place for long walks, skiing, skating, tobogganing, hiking, cycling or horse riding, and many other countless activities, experiencing every minute of the day in a breathtaking landscape.

You will find unique natural landscapes that characterise South Tyrol and the Dolomites, where nature still knows how to dictate its laws and the people are still particularly attached to their traditions, but know how to look to the future with a touch of refined and cordial hospitality.

The Rittner Bahnl

The old-world charm that defines Bolzano’s local mountain is also highlighted by the Rittner Bahnl, a narrow-gauge railway that has been operating for over 100 years and today carries locals and guests from Oberbozen to Klobenstein. From the train, as well as from the countless hiking trails, sunny views of the most beautiful ridges and peaks of the Dolomites open up.

Summer

When the city bakes in the summer heat, Bolzano’s residents have long “escaped” to their Ritten/Renon. At 1,000 meters above sea level, nights are pleasantly cool even in midsummer, and during the day, gentle walks and hiking trails pass the Earth Pyramids, fragrant meadows, and forests leading to the picturesque, densely wooded Wolfsgrubener Lake or one of the public swimming pools.

Rittnerhorn

The Rittnerhorn, at 2,260 meters, is a destination for ambitious hikers who are rewarded with probably the most beautiful panoramic view in all of South Tyrol. In winter, its wide, gentle slopes make it an ideal family ski area.

Törggelen

As a mid-mountain region, the Ritten/Renon attracts nature lovers and hikers to extensive excursions during the lush spring meadows or the colorful autumn. The traditional Törggelen is also celebrated here, featuring sweet wine, roasted chestnuts (“Keschtn”), and a hearty platter of local delicacies.
