Holidays in the Ahrntal valley in South Tyrol

Mountain time. Indulgence time. Feel-good time. Four seasons. Endless possibilities. One valley that has stayed true to itself.

The Ahrntal valley in South Tyrol is more than a holiday region. It is a place people call home – people who cherish their homeland with passion and warmly welcome those who come to visit. Four municipalities, two tourism associations – one holiday region. Together, they shape the unmistakable character of the Ahrntal valley.

In the holiday region Ahrntal valley, nature, hospitality and sustainability are part of everyday life. With its GSTC certification (Global Sustainable Tourism Council), the holiday region is committed to internationally recognised standards for sustainable tourism. For generations, local people have preserved what makes this landscape so special. Genuine encounters, living traditions, regional specialities and unforgettable mountain experiences among peaks, forests and meadows create memories that last.

More than 80 three-thousand-metre peaks and the Rieserferner-Ahrn Nature Park shape the Ahrntal valley and give it its distinctive character. Surrounded by unspoilt nature, traditional alpine pastures and a vibrant local culture, mountain lovers, families, those seeking peace and quiet, and food lovers alike can find their own special place. High above the main village of Sand in Taufers stands the medieval Taufers Castle – one of South Tyrol’s most beautiful and significant landmarks. Up on the alpine pastures, the valley’s authentic character comes to life: over a taste of traditional Ahrntal Graukäse, through customs that are still part of everyday life and in encounters with people who cherish their homeland with passion.

The Ahrntal valley is a place where every season writes its own story.

In spring, nature awakens with remarkable energy. Pure mountain air brings fresh energy with every breath and inspires the first hikes of the year. Summer brings long days in the mountains, with panoramic summit tours, crystal-clear mountain lakes, thundering waterfalls, traditional alpine pastures and countless hiking and biking trails. Whether on an active family holiday, out hiking or exploring by bike, everyone can find their favourite place in nature. 

Accommodations of the Month

In autumn, clear views, regional specialities and quiet trails invite you to slow down. Golden forests, living traditions and culinary specialities such as Ahrntal Graukäse make this a season for arriving, unwinding and savouring the moment. In winter, the valley reveals its snow-covered side – with the ski areas of Skiworld Ahrntal, perfectly groomed slopes for skiing and snowboarding, cross-country ski trails, toboggan runs and winter hiking trails. Whether on the slopes, snowshoeing or surrounded by the silence of the winter landscape, everyone can experience winter in their own way – active, indulgent or immersed in the tranquillity of the snow-covered mountains.

Mountain time. Indulgence time. Feel-good time. Three ways to experience the Ahrntal valley throughout the year.


A place to breathe deeply, get active, savour the moment and return to again and again. Because some journeys do not end when you return home – they stay with you as a feeling and, sooner or later, lead you back to the Ahrntal valley.
