Hiking Vacations in the Isarco Valley/Alto Adige-Alpine Experience on the Rocky Mounts

The Alto Adige mountains along the Isarco Valley present the perfect setting for expert hikers on trails with differentiating landform graduations on high or low mountain. Whether it’s fresh mountain air and an unforgettable vista of the valley and Dolomites atop Bressanone’s “Alta Via” or, 10 minutes by car from the Moarhof Residence, the “Rifugio” Chiusa or even the Cross of Latzfons (Croce di Latzfons), all trails, simple or difficult, are certainly worth the effort and the sights. The simple alpine trail is ideally suited for families with children and leads to a small chapel next to the Latzfons Cross:  classified among the most elevated of churches in Europe.
