The Rodengo-Luson Alp

… one of the largest high plateaus in Europe, offers endless opportunities for hikers and (e-)MTB fans. A real highlight: the Dolorama long-distance trail, which takes you across 61 km and four stages through stunning landscapes – from the Sass de Putia via the Odle peaks to Laion. Prefer a more peaceful stroll? Then the Schöpfungsweg (Path of Creation) is ideal – a 6.4 km walking route past eight artistic stations with biblical motifs. More into mountain biking? Then the tour to the Starkenfeld and Rastner mountain huts is definitely worth it.

Discover Rodengo

… best done on a relaxed walk. The Bienenweg (Bee trial) leads you into the fascinating world of bees and beekeeping, while the Village tour takes you on a journey through the charming hamlets of Vill, Gifen, Nauders and San Paolo. For a slightly longer but easy hike, the Rienza Gorge route is perfect – a 14 km trail that follows the wild Rienza river. And for adventurers both big and small the Forest Adventure Trail is a true highlight: balance across logs, conquer exciting play stations, and listen to frogs at the natural pond – fun for the whole family!

Answer the call of the mountains

… scramble across rocks, conquer summit crosses, and admire the world from above – it’s especially magical on the Cima Lasta (2,194 m). This panoramic peak is the highest point on the Rodengo Alp and a popular hiking destination. Insider tip: ever experienced a sunrise or sunset in the mountains? No? Then the Cima Lasta is the perfect place to soak in these unforgettable moments.

The dream of flying

… on the Rodengo Alp, you can not only hike and bike, but also conquer the skies! A tandem paragliding flight gives you the chance to experience the breathtaking landscape from a bird’s-eye view. The landing? Almost right on the doorstep, by the Rifugio Spritzen, just a stone’s throw away.

The idyll of the Val di Valles

It’s especially family-friendly to reach the alp via the “Latte Trail”.

The Valle Altafossa

… near Maranza offers a variety of impressive views. Highly recommended: a leisurely alpine hike through the valley, with a stop at the Kneipp water therapy area and a break at the Wieserhütte or the Pranter Stadlhütte. Fancy more? Then continue on foot to Lago di Seefeld (2,275 m) or explore the valley by mountain bike.
