Hiking around Lake Caldaro: spectacular natural scenery close by

If you prefer walking along scenic trails rather than swimming in the lake, you’re just as well placed here.

From the lakeside promenade to the Dolomites

The landscape around Caldaro offers the right pace for everyone: gentle walking paths through the vineyards for those who like to take it easy – and extensive mountain tours for those who want to breathe in the fresh alpine air. Here are a few excursions that are truly worth it:

• The Mendel Cable Car – Europe’s steepest and longest funicular takes you up to our local mountain, the Mendel. The view? Absolutely worth the climb.

• The Rastenbach Gorge in Altenburg – romantic, shaded and impressive.

• The Bletterbach Gorge in Aldein – a UNESCO World Heritage site and a fascinating fossil hike in one. Perfect for curious explorers of all ages.

• The Trudner Horn Nature Park – spacious, peaceful, with countless biotopes and surprises along the way.

• The Dolomites – majestic, panoramic and easily reached from Caldaro.

Caldaro is the ideal starting point for all of this. Pack your hiking boots – the rest will follow naturally.
