South Tyrol Hiking Escape: Trails, Peaks & Nature Retreat

Discover the breathtaking landscapes of South Tyrol on this guided hiking retreat at Preidlhof 5-Star Luxury DolceVita Resort. Perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, this getaway blends alpine adventure with the tranquility of the Dolomites.

## The Location

Set at the foot of South Tyrol's Texel Group National Park and close to the charming town of Merano, Preidlhof is uniquely positioned on the 46° Parallel, where the Mediterranean begins. South Tyrol is Italy's northernmost province, combining an Austrian past with an Italian present—a fascinating mingle of languages (both German and Italian), distinctive culture, and cosmopolitan vibe.

The microclimate here is truly unique: Mediterranean sunshine meets Alpine peaks, with palms, lemons, and olive trees thriving alongside snow-capped mountains. The Dolomites—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—provide a stunning backdrop with mild climate, rich vegetation, and high Alpine pastures.

The picturesque village of Naturns on Preidlhof's doorstep offers the perfect step-out-of-time for a classic Italian coffee. Explore further by winding through the Dolomites past sparkling lakes, lush valleys, and snowy passes. Discover King Laurin's Rose Garden, swim in Lake Kaltern (the warmest bathing lake in the Alps), and visit Graun village with its iconic Romanesque church tower rising from Lake Reschen.

Preidlhof provides bikes, trikes, a sporty Porsche Cabrio, and complimentary canary-yellow Vespas for exploring—though many guests fall in love with the property and rarely venture beyond the occasional forest foray.
