View of Bolzano from Mendel Pass

Highlight • Viewpoint

go up with the Mendola cable car and hike up and cover a few meters in altitude. You will be rewarded with a good view. The Mendola Railway can be used e.g. use with the mobile card. It is included in the price (28 euros for 7 days)
The Mendelbahn is the steepest cable car in Europe. You go up and down the mountain like in a train

Penegal Observation Tower and Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Very nice climb from the Mendel Pass to Penegal, the view at the top is gigantic. If the tour does not prompt you to continue, the few kilometers from the Mendola to Penegal are recommended. The road up is very steep, rather narrow and not very busy.

View of Lake Caldaro (Kalterer See) and Kaltern from Monte Penegal

Highlight • Viewpoint

Easy mountain hike with an altitude difference of about 380 meters. The starting point is the mountain station of the Mendelbahn or one of the free parking spaces at the top of the pass. The length of the hike is about 4 kilometers, which can easily be completed in just over 1:30 hours. On the way you can always enjoy beautiful views of Kaltern with the lake and Bolzano.

View of the Meadows and Horses near Trento

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you want to experience beautiful hiking trails, mostly all by yourself, then take the path across the hinterland. The hiking trail starts with a walk through the 🐎 paddock.
