Wonderful gardens in the extensive grounds of Trauttmansdorff Castle. The walks in the different areas are well signposted to ensure you miss nothing. There is a Restaurant and Cafe on site whilst the Castle itself hosts an interesting exhibition about tourism ion the Dolomites.

After several years we finally attempted it and did it! Great day of skiing 25 miles. Watch out for the “alternative” route though which involves Black runs!

South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology

Meet here the world’s famous chalcolithic ice mummy called "Ötzi, the Iceman" who was found with all his belongings on the Similaun glacier in 1991. Situated in the city center of Bolzano (pedestrian area), the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology displays the oldest wet mummy in a sophisticated ice cell and shows Neolithic craftmanship in his equipment: the world’s most antique clothes and the hunting equipment with the world's oldest fully preserved copper axe.

Reviewed By ANGELOV230 - Milan, Italy

The South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology is centered on the iceman "Ötzi" that was discovered in the Alps some decades ago. The mummy itself is visible through a window, in the refrigerated cell where the 5000 year old man is kept. All artifacts found with the mummy are here too (clothings, shoes, hat, ax, pouch, knife, bow, quiver and arrows, baskets...) and very good explanations are provided in Italian, German and English of each item. Every artifact or any discovery about Ötzi are put into contest of the people life at that time, so the entire museum tells a fascinating history of 3400 years BC. You cannot take pictures of the mummy, but everything else can be photographed. At the end of the tour, you find a museum shop, with good books about Ötzi.

Beautiful place, best time to go is early in the morning before 9.00 then you can get the best shot with the reflection of the mountains and its nice and quiet. It can be a bit cold in the morning even in summer. Worth it.

Renon’s Cable Car

Renon's new cable car opened on May 23, 2009, offering a whole bunch of fantastic advantages for vacationers and local commuters alike: a generous schedule, short travel time and easy access. It's a true gem. It only takes 12 minutes for the gondolas to move from Bozen/Bolzano to Oberbozen/Soprabolzano - they depart every 4 minutes, so there's practically no waiting time.

We decided that we would just take one trip by cable car in Bolzano, and decided upon this one. Strolling along from our hotel in the centre of town one morning, we soon reached the cable car station, and bought a combined ticket that included a trip on the train at the top of the mountain. The cable car was lightly loaded, we each had a comfortable seat, and the ascent was very smooth. The views as we gained height were very impressive. At what we anticipated was going to be the top of the mountain, we swung over a green, wooded dale and continued our ascent – it was almost as if we were entering a secret world, hidden from mortals in the valley below. Delightful vistas surrounded us, with the imposing Dolomites in the far distance. At the terminus, we disembarked and walked a short distance to the train station, where we joined others already waiting. Before too long, a train arrived, and we stayed on board until the end of the line in Collalbo. Be sure to arm yourself with a free map of the area, available at the cable station, because it provides several numbered walks of varying lengths that you can enjoy on the plateau. From Collalbo, we set off along walk 24 to the Pirimidi di Terra where we savoured spectacular views. On our return journey, we took a side detour through woods, along walk 20, the Fenn Promenade, before enjoying coffee in a café just as we approached Collalbo. Suitably refreshed, we decided to walk all the way back to the train station at Soprabolzano, and so headed for walk 35, the Freud Promenade. Luckily, we found a comfortable seat just as we were about to enter a wooded area, and so took the opportunity to eat some sandwiches we’d brought with us. It was a lovely walk, despite the unexpected rain shower that seemed to come from nowhere. A thoroughly enjoyable, active day rounded off by a great descent on the cable car back to Bolzano. Recommended.
