Val Passiria: one of the jewels of South Tyrol

L'South Tyrol is a truly unique territory that can make vacations truly special regardless of the time of year; in fact, every season is good for exploring it to discover its many natural, artistic, historical and cultural wonders. Among the many places that can be mentioned, a special mention definitely goes to the Passeier Valley (Passeiertal), one of South Tyrol's most popular valleys that is taken by storm every year by tourists from Italy and abroad.

Geographically it is located northeast of Merano, between the Ötztaler Alps and the Stubai Alps; the Austrian border is very close. The Passirio stream crosses the valley and then, near the town of Merano, flows into the Adige River.

If you have never stayed in Val Passiria or if you have the desire to rediscover it to appreciate its many beauties even more, you could plan your next vacation at the Martinerhof, beautiful hotel in Val Passiria, located to be precise in the charming resort of St. Martin in Passeier.

The Martinerhof is a 3-star superior hotel that is characterized by having its own brewery where the delicious Martinsbräu beer is brewed. Staying at this hotel you will also have the opportunity to take a guided tour in which you will learn how the region's most delicious beer is brewed.

What to do in Val Passiria?

You will not regret booking a stay at the Martinerhof hotel; in fact, the Passeiertal valley is a perfect destination for a vacation under the banner of fun, physical activity, relaxation and good food. By the way, it doesn't really matter the time of the stay because each of the four seasons has something different, but always evocative and fascinating to offer.

For example, now that we are in late spring, there are several possible activities. For fans of thehiking the Passeiertal valley is a kind of paradise on earth, and there is a little bit of room for everyone. In fact, the hiking network is quite varied and includes very easy trails - also suitable for family groups - but also quite challenging routes that require some experience and sufficient physical fitness.

There are also a number of possibilities for those who prefer hiking to the mountain bike or the road cycling thanks to the Val Passiria bicycle path. Then, when summer arrives, you can also practice the rafting and the canyoning.

In San Martino in Passiria, where your hotel is located, you can also delight in the golf thanks to the 18-hole course Passiria.Merano. Another option for golfers is to travel to Sorgente, a hamlet of St. Martin.

Not too far from the village (5 minutes by car will suffice) is the St. Leonhard in Passeier; here on a hill overlooking the town is located Castel Giovo, dating back to the 13th century. Visits are possible from the beginning of June, and the opening will last throughout the month of September. If you like walking you could reach the castle on foot starting from the center of town or by taking advantage of the Sun Walk, a scenic route that lasts about an hour and a half. Not too far from the castle is the gothic church of the Holy Cross Which is definitely worth a visit.

However, there are many other things you can do while staying in Val Passiria including. a trip to the city of Merano; what is certain is that boredom will ever assail you....
